Very good Rob! I've been to his grave just outside of Sparta, Tennessee. One of my family oral tradition stories is that Ferguson and his men paid a "visit" to my 'loyal to the Union' Judd family homestead in Cookeville, Tennessee. One of the Judd boys was killed as a result (an uncle to me). My second-great grandfather Matt Judd-joined the Union Army with the intention of exacting revenge for the murder. Grandpa Judd never got his revenge. He served honorably and became a circuit-riding preacher after the war. He also got a disability pension for his service. Ferguson got the hangman's noose.
