      Hi,

      Following is info I received from Wanda Parnell:
      "I also have some additional information (documented) on the young child Joseph Alexander Ferree who is buried in the Sudderth Cemetery near his grandfather Patrick Hennessa (per tombstone). He was the thirteen year old
      son of Manual Hennessee's sister Martha (Hennessee) Ferree and John G. Ferree who died in 1853. This information seems to be missing from Vol 1 of the Burke Co. Heritage Book."

      My reply:

      "Thanks for this Ferree info. Cousin David Hennessee in his 1991 compilation reported 1860 and 1870 Census data on that family that showed J. A. born 1853 and a sister, Martha, born 1847. I have noted your info in the margin of my copy and the need to reconcile whether J.A. born or died in 1853."

      Wanda descends from Sudderth and Singleton. (See her Singleton sketch in Burke Heritage II and compare it with Sudderth sketch by Throneburg in the same book.) More importantly, Wanda arranged clean up of the Sudderth
      Cemetery and has completed cataloging of identifiable graves. For those accomplishments she is due our thanks and any assistance. Her address is Wanda Parnell .


      Do any of you have data that reconciles whether 1853 is birth or death date of J. A. Feree?

      Could be son of John G. & Martha Hennessee Ferree. Martha’s mother was Nancy Sudderth Hennessee. Joseph was born in 1853.

      Nancy Sudderth was a sister of Col. John Sudderth who is buried in this cemetery. Likewise, Nancy's husband, Patrick Hennessee (Hennesa) is buried in the Sudderth Cemetery to the left of grandson, Joseph A. Ferree. Joseph A. Ferree's grandmother Nancy is buried in North Cove in McDowell County NC. She went there to live with a son after the death of her husband, Patrick Hennessee. [3]
