Biography

First mentioned in 18600803SarahWBHills_FMS1: "Jennette  & her three daughters left us last evening for Auburn, having been nearly five weeks with us – their return home seemed undetermined." To find Jennette, I used Find-A-Grave to look up all the Janettes, Jenettes, Jannettes, etc. who died in Auburn. Only one of the women found was old enough to have 3 daughters in 1860 (see citation notes URLs below). I put her information into Ancestry and found her profile. Jeanette (Janet) Ferguson was born in England. They had 9 children together, and of their 4 girls, 3 were alive in 1860. Looks like this is our family.
