ANDERSON, ELMORE, FERGUSON, MYERS, GARRISON lines, am interested. Abner James Monroe "AJM" ANDERSON came to Carroll County, AR, from near Cookeville. His father, some brothers stayed behind, fought there as Confederate soldiers. One was Archibald Tyler ANDERSON. Would like to know what company he and brother(s) were with. Also looking for info on other surnames above. AJM Anderson's son Peter ANDERSON md. Ella FERGUSON, have been told she was daughter of a J. FERGUSON who md. a Dru__? ELMORE. Ella died young and I am having great difficulty finding any information on the ELMORE/FERGUSON connections. Help there would be much appreciated. Others coming to this area from there, perhaps leaving family behind included MYERS, MAY, GARRISON ancestors. Would like to share info on any of above. I note a cemetery listed as PETER ANDERSON cemetery, on "Crescent Drive on the Lineus Bullington place". Possibly this would be Abner's father, Peter, or I think he has a brother by same name. Any info on this or other Anderson burials, cemeteries, appreciated. AJM Anderson was born 1825. Ella FERGUSON ANDERSON was born 1865, d. 1892.
