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.
