I am looking for any information on Long Tom Ferrier & and his descendents.
The 1880 Census has him in Lewis, WA, living with his son, Samuel T. Ferrier, b. 1844, MO, wife Agnes__, b. 1852, MO, & 3 sons, Thomas, Charles, & John.
This verifies the story listed at the bottom.
Speculation: Long Tom Ferrier probably was the son of George and Salley Mooney.(Named after the grandfather)
I suspicion George & Ann died before 1817. That is why Long Tom went with his Uncle Nathaniel to Missouri. Long Tom may have been the only son (That survived).
From: The History of Callaway County, MO, Page 331
Nathaniel Ferrier, of East Tennessee, settled in Callaway County in 1817.
His two sons, Thomas & Samuel, and his NEPHEW, Thomas (better known as Long Tom”) came with him from Tennessee. Thomas, the son of Nathaniel Ferrier, married the widow of James II Goodrich. Samuel married Alice Shannon,
Samuel Ferrier, in his old age, removed to Washington Territory, and soon afterward wrote a glowing letter back to his COUSIN, LONG TOM FERRIER, who was then about eighty years old, telling him that deer, bears, and bee trees
were abundant out there. Long Tom was so captivated by the description that he shouldered his gun the next day after the receipt of the letter, and with his dogs following at his heels, started for the distant land of promise, on foot.
