1810 Person County, North Carolina Census
In Henry Waggoner’s will he listed his daughter as 1. Susanna Smith, 2. John, 3. Henry, 4. George Waggner (Dec) as his sons. Catherine Waggoner in the census above was married to James Waggoner who was not listed as one of his sons. However the fact that all four of the families are living so close to each other indicates that they are related to each other. We know that 5. Judith Waggoner married Peter Aldridge and 6. Mary Waggoner married Robert Berry Jr. This accounts for 6 of Henry Sr.and Ketriana Waggoner’s 11 Children named in his 1784 will. All five of the living children named above were living in Person County in 1810

The Farquhar’s were a very large family (13) in all. The youngest was William Anderson Farquhar who was about a year old when the family left Alabama and joined a wagon train headed for Texas. There were several families who went together on this journey. The Anderson Farquhar family, the Hugh McCoy family, the Bailey Traweek family. and maybe others. After the Wagon Train reached the Mississippi River they went by water to New Orleans. From New Orleans they steamed to Matagorda Bay which was about 150 miles south of Galveston Texas.
After the party landed misfortune overtook them. They had only traveled a short distance when they were delayed at the Colorado River due to high water.During the time of this encampment, sickness broke out and two of the Farquhar daughters died. Nancy E. Farquhar, age 18, died on March 14th 1852. On April 6th 1852 Parmillia Jane Farquhar, age, 17 died. They were both buried near Matagorda Bay. Descendants say they died from Cholera, which they themselves called “fever”.
As soon as possible the party pressed onward, going up the Colorado Rover bu boat, thence by Ox drawn wagons until the arrived at Fayetteville, Fayette County Texas.
The wagons rolled to a stop there in the late spring of 1852 and homes were built where the settlers lived for the next two years. While at this place another tragedy struct the Farquhar Family, Their oldest son, John K. Farquhar, age 23 died.
Graves marked every trail these pioneers took. the first little grave in Alabama was that of a two year old son, Danial Alexander Farquhar, who died in 1849.
The pioneers decided to make another move to Burnet County. The men went to select some permanent homesteads in the northern part of Burnet County. In 1854 , they began the long wearisome journey. They crossed the barren stretches of central Texas in Ox drawn wagons., suffering from exposure, and untold hardships. The only human beings seen were Indians,nor was there a house from Old Round Rock to their final destination near Lampasas Texas. Anderson and Levina Farquhar built their home from Cedar logs which were cut and hewn by hand. The Couple lived the rest of their lies in this home which stood as a monument to their courage and fortitude until 1923 when the building was destroyed by fire.
Both are buried
