1850 Census District 18 Giles Co TN:

I believe at least two members of the Ferrell family above are in this cemetery. Jane Ferrell grave unknown. & T.D. Ferrell for Thomas D. Ferrell sometimes seen as Thomas J. Ferrel, which we have the footstone here for our evidence. 

(1) Note: Birth year of Wm Ferrell based on estimate of 1840 less age given as 60 years. Actual spelling of the surname on the tombstone is Ferel, but other tombstones in this cemetery has the name spelled Ferrell.  
(2) One marriage source on Ancestry.com has her maiden name as Jackson. I rather believe the local Giles Co Source, but both could be right if she were a widow. Census of 1860 has Jane about 75 years of age - which is right 1850 or 1860.
(3) Father of Thomas Ferrell born about 1815. I believe the footstone T.D.F. above is for Thomas D. Ferrell, but in the censuses and other places he was seen with the name Thomas J. Ferrell. He is born about 1815 (age 35 in the 1850 census) and I failed to find him after that which leads me to average his death year as 1865) The footstone here I would judge to be 1850-1880 timeframe based on the style, patination (aged color) of the Missouri limestone.
