SPARREL P. FERGUSON was born July 26, 1818, in Franklin County, Va.  At
the age of fourteen years he removed with his parents to Monroe County,
Ky., where he now resides.  His father, Moses Ferguson, was born about
1794, also a Virginian; was a son of John Ferguson, who was of English
descent.  Moses married, about 1814, Sophia, daughter of John Phelps;
she was born about 1790, and was the mother of ten children, of whom
Sparrel P. was the second.  On the 4th of May, 1837, the latter married
Charlotte T., daughter of Francis and Sarah (Kays) Harris, of Monroe
County, to whom were born the following named children:  July E.
(Bartley), Sarah (Billingsley), Richard G., Lemuel F., Sanford, Smith,
America (Bacon) and Samuel T.  Mrs. Charlotte T. Ferguson was born

on his children, about 160 acres of well improved land, in good
condition.  S. P. Ferguson joined the Christian Church at the age of
twenty, and since that time has devoted a portion of his time to the
ministry of the gospel.  In politics he is an independent Republican.
