  Died	Abt 1832	Texas
  Notes	In November, 2009, Vernon Virginia Ferguson Johnson (vernon2007@sbcglobal.net) emailed me that: "As far as anyone knows the Olly Ferguson that married Drucilla Cook was not ever called AULSTON ? he never used this name--this is a different person, but has been so widely reported now that it is often taken as fact. I want to remind descendants of Olly Ferguson -East Texas that Otey Ferguson in Va is NOT Olly of Texas...Please don't use the man in Va....the following message was posted several years ago.... my line is Olly, Roland,. Roland, Samuel, Jim, Vernon, In 1993 when I found that someone had Olly's parents as Alexander Ferguson Jr and Nancy Wood, I contacted Christine Huddleston in Vinton, VA. She is the daughter of Edmund T Ferguson, Sr. who wrote "Ancestors & Some Families of Stephen D Ferguson and etc" She sent papers that listed the children of Alexander and Nancy and who they married. The third child listed was OteyOtty born 7th May 1797. Otey married Polly Arrington 3rd Mar 1823: min. Moses reer -surety, Daniel Arrington. Transcript of Nancy Ferguson will (wife of Alexander Ferguson) proved 7th of Oct 1839 Rocky Mount, Franklin Co, VA. After listing all her children she left one dollar each to children of her son Otey Feguson, dec'd .....Alexander, Elizabeth, Sarah, Absond?, Daniel and Otey. I would think that this proves that this is not our Olly. Olly A Ferguson has no record of when or where he was born his age is never given. He did appear to die, or leave, Sabine County ca 1832, as his wife Drucilla remarried Eli Low around that time. Olly A Ferguson could not have been the Son of Alexander and Nancy Wood their son was Otey/Otty, and he lived and died in VA These are facts we do know about Olly: 1820-MS-Franklin Co-Marr-Bk A p 22 minister-David Cook March 25, 1820 Lic: -----Oaly A Fergison to Drewcilla Cook on 25th March 1820 by Co clerk Marr:---Olay A Fergusson to Drucilla Cook on 29th March 1820 by David Cook Cert:----Olly A Ferguson to Drucilla Cook on 26th March 1820 on new cert 25th Feb 1965 1824-TX-Nacog/Sabine-Feb 16-Apr 3, 1824--Petition of the Americans residing at Nacogdoches:signed by Olle A Ferguson.
