Searching for Ferguson and Medlin lines in Cumberland Co.,
and Moore Co., NC. After the reading my query, please note
that we still have a couple of the puzzling things we
don't know - one is why John Ferguson and his wife
Flora Medlin Ferguson moved to Mississippi and then why
they moved to Florida? Also, why John and Flora
moved back to NC (and where to exactly - we think maybe
in Moore Co?). Flora's daughter Annie stayed in Florida
and her children are there still.
Cumberland Co, Little River Township, NC
1834 marriage of John L. Ferguson (born 1807 in NC?) to
Catherine Priest (father Donald Priest, and she was born in
1815).
They had 10 children:
1. Margaret (born 1834)
2. Mary (born 1837)
3. Martha (born 1842)
4. Sarah (born 1845)
5. Flora (born 1848)
6. Malcom (born 1846)
7. JOHN (Born 1850) ***
8. Catherine (born 1853)
9. Christian (born 1854)
10. Eliza (born 1857)
John (1850) Ferguson of Cumberland Co. (Little River
Township) married Flora A. Medlin (one of many children of
John George Medlin and wife Christian Margaret McDonald of
Moore Co.). Flora was born in 1860. In the 1900 census
they had the following children:
1. Mary C. (born 1885) (married a Cummings and had daughter
Alberta)
2. John (born 1887, probably died in Florida in early
1900s)
3. William (born 1890)
4. Annie Augusta Ferguson (born 1892, married John Tharpe
from Liberty Co in Florida and died in Florida - Franklin
Co.)
5. Duncan (born 1895, and moved to Tampa FL later where we
think he died in Dec. 1977 in Hillsborough Co?)
6. Archie (born 1897)
7. Robert (born 1899)
There may have been an 8th child born after 1900 to John
and Flora - Coy Ferguson (about 1902?)
We have family accounts of John and Flora leaving NC for
Mississippi and then going from there to the Panhandle in
Florida (Liberty Co.) and from there (daughter Annie stayed
and maybe also Duncan and John ("Johnnie")) back to NC.
While in Florida, Flora and John sold her "Medlin" property
to N.A. McKeithen. This land was located in the Sandhills
Township of Moore Co. and included her land for sale by
deed except for the deeded land by Mrs. Christian Medlin
being excepted from sale.
>From a family bible source and from the 1880 census we have
the following on the Medlin family:
Moore Co, SandHills Township
Medlin, John George (farming - but we think he worked in
turpintine) with wife (Margaret) Christian (housekeeper)
and her parents were born in NC. They had 9 children by
1880:
1. Mary Catherine Medlin (married McDonald) (b. Sept. 1857,
d. Dec. 1922)
2. Moses K. Medlin (born 27 July 1859)
3. Flora A. (born Apr. 1861)
4. John McDonald Medlin Sr. (worked on farm, but was sick
with dyspepaia?) (born 1863, died Dec. 1922)
5. James Archie Medlin (worked turpintine) (born April
1865)
6. William Thomas Medlin (born 1868, died Nov. 1911)
7. Rebecca J. Medlin (born Aug. 1870, died 1884)
8. Sarah E. Medlin (born Nov. 1873, died Jan. 1935)
9. Daniel P. Medlin (born Nov. 1875)
Later, these others were associated with this family:
10. Ludella C. Medlin (born 28 March 1880, died 4 April
1880)
11. Charles R. Medlin (born 28 March 1880, died 4 April
1880)
12. Neill Arnold Medlin (born March 1882, died Aug. 1945)
and he had 9 children himself.
Christian Margaret (Rose?) McDonald Medlin died Feb. 25,
1908 at age 71. John George and Christian lived in what is
known today as Sandy Woods estate and there is a cemetery
there and at some time a small church (Deep Creek Baptist)
was build, and later moved out and placed near the highway,
added to and brick put on.
The obit for Christian was in the "The Free Press", March
13, 1908, Death at Roseland....When her husband (born in
1824) died 21 Oct. 1882, he left her with a 6 month
old baby and 9 other children...
I have been informed that the Medlin Cemetary is near Old
Deep Creek Church or rather between Roseland (still on a
map of NC) and Pinehurst, NC. I also found this referenced
in "A Guide to Moore Co. Cemeteries" compiled by Anthony
Parker. William Thomas Medlin has a marker there (1867 -
1911) and so does John M (McDonald) Medlin Sr. (1861 -
1922) and Mary A. McDonald (wife of J. M.
Medlin, 1878 - 1917- but don't know how she is connected).
