| Notes for William Stacy Ferguson |
| In 1864, the family managed to grow a crop of sorghum. Billy, who was ten at the time, and a little Negro boy attempted to make sorghum molasses with the old sorghum mill. Billy caught his hand in the cogs and his hand was badly mangled. Army surgeons and a local doctor named Sanders amputated his arm at the wrist. ................................................................................
