My Genealogy Hound

ANDREW J. McFERREN, dealer in pumps, Five Mile. The subject of this sketch was born April 9, 1825, in Hamilton Township, Warren Co., Ohio. In his youth he was trained to the pursuits of farming, and for many years, also, worked at the carpenter’s trade. On December 4, 1850, in Warren County, he married Miss Esther E. Terwilliger, daughter of Henry and Mary Terwilliger. By this union there has been an issue of two children, one of whom is now living — Amanda, the wife of Timothy W. Talley. In 1853, Mr. McFerren moved from Warren to Brown County, and located in the western portion of Green Township, where he now resides. He is the owner of eighty acres of land, and at present represents, as an agent, the Arthur Lyon three valve chain pump, manufactured at Loveland, Ohio. For seven years this gentleman has served as Trustee of Green Township, performing the duties of his office with entire satisfaction. When two years old, the mother of our subject, who was born in Ireland, was brought with her parents to America, and with them located in South Carolina. James, the father of our subject, was a native of Tennessee, and when a boy was by his mother taken to South Carolina (his father being deceased), where he married. In 1813, he came to Warren County, Ohio, where he died about the year 1868; his wife died in 1855; they had in all eleven children. The parents of Mrs. McFerren emigrated from New York State to Warren County, Ohio, at quite an early day. They settled in Hamilton Township, where they remained until their decease, he having died in 1862, and she in 1846. We take pleasure in presenting to the public the record of this worthy family.
