>> 1848 right across the Kanawha River from Putnam.

>> Alonzo was the Son of Richard FORD and Eliza LEWIS (?) of Mason Co.and was
>> in Mason till at least 1844 in the PPT listings living very near David P.
>> FERGUSON. The Daughters of David & Susanna were born ~ 1817, 1821 (maybe
>> Susan, my GGG Grandmother), 1823 and 1825 according to Census records.
>> They would therefore have been married somewhere between 1835 - 1855 I

>> became Putnam Co. in 1848, Kanawha Co. or Putnam.
>>
>> Richard FORD's Children were Mary, Emily, Alonzo, William, Aldridge, &
>> Marshall.
>>
>> If I can find the Daughter's names by marriage records, etc. I might be
>> able to see a connection between my GGG Grandmother Susan FERGUSON and
>> David & Susanna FERGUSON. Some names that might be possibilities based on
>> what the Sons named their Children are Sarah, Mary and Elizabeth.

>> If someone has access to marriage bonds/records for Mason/Putnam/Kanawha
>> for the time period 1835 - 1855 I would appreciate any information on
