Documentation:
* Esquire John FURR has a will filed in Book II Stanly County, North Carolina Pages 218-221. I have a copy of this and his estate settlement. The letters testamentary lists his heirs who are to inherit his estate.
* I have cited where each marriage occurred.
* The difference in dates of birth for Daniel and Sarah, the two oldest children, has not been settled.
* Sarah's dates are from her tombstone which was erected in the early 1980s. It could be wrong. But I do know from the census ages that he was always two years older than her.
* In the 1830 Montgomery County, North Carolina census, John and his wife had three children under age 5, two boys and a girl.
* I found the information on Beneeta and Crittenton FURR from their pension records in Texas.
* Many of the other dates are from cemetery records in Stanly Co. North Carolina that were copied by David Kirk SHAVER, Sr. and B. W. CRUSE about 1964.
* The dates of the children who died in Arkansas are from Pope County Cemetery records that I copied myself and from information provided to me by family members.
* William Eben FURR's 2nd wife was Delytha Elizabeth DUNN married 10 Dec 1871 Book II page __ Stanly Co. NC.
