Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This information conforms to information provided for BRANCH #3 printed in volume 1. It seems likely that John C. Featherston was the son of Richard S. and Phoebe (Cogbill) Featherston. Sources for this assumption are Chesterfield County, Virginia marriage record of Richard S. Featherston and Phebe F. Cogbill on 16 July 1831; 1850 Amelia Co., VA census (lists Phoebe Featherston, age 47, b. VA - her children include John age 16) and 1860 Prince Edward Co., VA census:
John C. Featherston age 26 carpenter VA
Catherine Featherston age 21 VA
Mary B. Featherston age 5 VA
J.R. Featherston(m) age 9/12 VA
Mr. & Mrs. Kitterman also state that John C.'s first wife died when John Richard was a boy. John C. remarried and had a daughter, Margaret Wahl that resided in Dubuque, Iowa in 1961.
Thank you, Brenda, for this information. Can anyone give us additional help?
