RE: Trivial Trivia - taking trivia to new levels
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.
