My GGGrandpa was William C. Ferrell b. 1959 in MO.
I am looking for his parents and siblings names and dates of birth, marriage, death and places. If you have any information about William I would appreciate it very much.

He was married to Margaret Jane (Pharris-by her first marriage)(Keys-maiden name).
Their daughter Maude Mae (Ferrell) Reeder was my GGrandma.

I am also looking for the parents and siblings of Williams wife, Margaret (Maggie) Jane Keys born Aug. 5 1849 in Mississippi.
Her death certificate says her fathers name was William Keys. The census records say that her father was born in Scotland. Not sure if this is accurate though. The census records also say that her mother was born in Maryland.

At some time she moved to Missouri and started a family.
Margaret was first married to Remus Pharris in 1870.

They had 3 children,
Cora b. 1871 in MO,
Laura b. 1873-4 in MO
Robert Pharris b. 1877 in MO.

After the death of Remus Pharris she married William C. Ferrell between 1877-1878.
They had 4 daughters.
Clara b. 1879 in MO
Maude b. 1882 in MO
Myrtle b. 1886 in MO
Alice Artie Ferrell b. 1887 in MO.

Margaret died in 1940 in Ottowa, Miami,Oklahoma and she and William were both buried at the GAR Cemetary in Miami, OK

I would appreciate any information you have about William and Margarets parents and siblings.

Thanks!
Kitty
