Message Board Post:
Am not related to Montgomery or Ferrell families. That which was found has a "healthy
dose" of supposition.
Found a newspaper article on INGENWEB>Fulton - a John Ferrell was "severely
injured in the head". From there went to Ancestry and found in US CW Records and
Profiles the following: John Ferrel enlisted 31 Aug 1862 in Kewanee IN, and was discharged
(he died) in Chattanooga TN 30 Jun 1863.
Thinking that perhaps John had a brother named James, searched for him. There is a James
W. Ferrell listed as having enlisted 3 Oct 1864 snd was mustered out 21 Aug 1865 in
Greensboro. Perhaps he stayed there and remarried, or perhaps he went elsewhere.
Hope this helps.
