Although I don't know how I think your John Ferrell (father of William
A.
Ferrell) is probably a descendant of one of the sons of John Ferrell.
He
had some sons that lived in Warren Co. TN. I would suggest researching
Warren County or perhaps Cannon County for records on Ferrells there.
This
is what I have on John Ferrell's children.
