My husband's maternal grandmother's family is named LaFerney. My mother-in-law sent me a copy of a few pages of a book someone from that family is trying to put together.
Here's the information you need:
According to a tombstone located in the Pikey Family Cemetery just East of Conran, Missouri in New Madrid County, Steven Decator LaFerney was born October 7, 1813 and he died Mar. 12, 1872.His wife Iris (author spells it Tacket)was born September 13, 1817 and died June 17, 1871.The LaFerney name has also been spelled La Ferney, Laferney, and Lafernait (per a referenced court record).She and Steven had two children that are mentioned: Joseph Benjamin LaFerney b. Sept. 26, 1848 in New Madrid County, Missouri (buried in the Keo Cemetery in Lonoke County) and Louis who was born in 1845.Louis served in the Civil War.This is all the information I have unless you want more on Joseph's family.Diane
