I am seeking information on James M. McMullin (especially the maiden name of his wife, Mary - born 1842 Alabama, married James in Scott Co, Arkansas). James was the son of Eliza Halbert and Thomas? McMullin. Following the death of her husband, Eliza married her sister's widowed husband, Shadrack Chitwood. Eliza Halbert Mcmullin Chitwood is my wife's ggg-grandmother. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Kenneth Rorie krorie(a)ipa.net

Found the 1880 census on Ancestry.com by just typing the first name, "Cornelius," birthdate within 2 yrs of 1850, and location "Texas, USA." The index shows surname spelled "Ferguson," however, the handwriting in image could be read as either that or "Fergerson."
I noticed the marriage date also, but the 1910 census says 1879 was the first marriage for Cornelius and second marriage for Amanda. Possibly the first two children (b. 1875 and 1877) were Amanda's and adopted by Cornelius when he married her?

Thaks a bunch. I recorded the 3 elder children. I looked for that census record and could not find it on Ancestry.com. Could you check it and let me know if perhaps the spellings of the names are unique in some way. I was hoping that it might say how long they were married then since the 1900 census says married 21 years which would be in 1879. Maybe the three children in the 1880 census were his from a previous marriage?

Names of 3 more children were found in 1880 census:
---1880 Wood Co, TX, Pct 4, ED 127-29-33 (255-266): Cornelius Fergerson 32 Works on Farm b 1848 TX(NC-AL),Armonda Fergerson 23 wife b 1857 LA(LA-TX), Clemontine Fergerson 5 dau b 1875 TX(TX-LA), John C. Fergerson 3 son b 1877 TX(TX-LA), Eliza Ann Fergerson 10/12 dau b 1879 TX(TX-LA).
The 20 years between 1880 and 1900, would allow children to be born after 1880, and then be old enough to be married or working away from home before the census in 1900.

Nellie B.Ferguson was born In Aug 1898 and so was Sweetie. My conclucion is that Sweetie was Nellie's nickname. See 1900 Census: Home in 1900 was District 72, Justice Precinct 7, Panola, Texas, enumerated on June 2-4, 1900
There are more children then I have for Amanda and Cornelius Ferguson as the 1910 US Census says that Amanda was the mother of 13 with 9 living in 1910. That Census lists her children as:
Louis, son, age 22
Katie, daughter (should be Hattie) age 10,
Hilton D., son, age 18
Ruthy L., daughter, age 16
Raburn W, son,age 13
Nellie B, daughter, age 11
Roy E, son, age 9
Oscar W born in June 1885 was in the 1900 census. That would make 8 children. Do you know of any others?
I Only know that Amanda's maiden name was Lathan. I do not know her parents' or siblings' names. I do not know the parents' or siblings' names of Cornelius A Ferguson either.
