Great grandpa Moses is reasonably well documented. He was born July 1 1874 in Logan County, WV to Elijah "Lige" Ferrell and Augusta Ellis, and was a County Court Commissioner since at least 1889.

Moses was apparently quite civically-minded, as he was also appointed Post Master in 1912, and helped obtain funding to build the Menifee County Court House. Refer to the Logan County page for more details, but in brief Logan was split in 1895, with the southwestern portion becoming the new county of Mingo in 1895. We can see from the 1880 Census that Moses was living in the Logan township of Trdelphia, and the Logan Banner articles show he was County Commissioner in 1889-1891. The 1890 Census was lost to fire, and by 1910 we see that Moses has moved to Frenchburg, Menifee County, KY. It appears he ran again in 1892, but I can't see that he won or lost, but there was also an 1891 Chanercy csae that he was required to settle by the sale of real estate. Maybe this was why he decided to move to Kentucky, but I can't say for sure.

Previous Addresses

For these more rural relatives, I don't generally have addresses, the township is typically the best I can do.
