Michael "M.A." Ferrell, who inherited and passed along in his estate the "home place", mentioned in Henry Clay Ragland's "A History of Logan County" in which he mentions that "M.A. Ferrell" is living on William's farm as of the writing, so they're contemporaries, and in fact Ragland posts multiple references to M.A in the paper he founded and edited, the Logan Banner.
The extensive estate is covered here extensively as it create a multi-year set of records and relationships.
Also referenced in the book Matewan Before the Massacre.
I still need to find this Chancery Court case on the Property to the right.
Much more to fill in later.

Chapter XXI, (page 112)
‘While the Guyandotte Valley was being settled with hardy pioneers from Montgomery and the territory which formerly belonged in that ancient county, the Tug Fork of Sandy was being peopled by those who had for awhile paused in their march to the wilderness on the waters of the Clinch and the Holsten. From the time of the building of the old Block House at the forks of Sandy, about the year 1789, frequent visits were made from the cabins on the frontier by daring hunters to their friends in the old fort, but there is no account of any settlement being made on the West Virginia side of the river below the McDowell County line, or even above that line, until the year 1800, when Richard and John Ferrell, sons of Richard Ferrell, who was killed by the Indians in Thompson's Valley in 1780, settled on the farm where M. A. Ferrell now lives.
Richard Ferrell, the youngest brother, married a Miss Romaines, of Russell County, Virginia, and was the father of ten children - six sons and four daughters, His sons were William, who married Mahala Tiller, John R, who married Elizabeth Coleman; Elizah, who married Barbara Jackson; Richard, who married Letitia Eskew; Evans, who married Martha Duty, and Moses, who married Jane Lockhart.
