Thomas Early Ferrell's birth record says that his father was Sherman Cook. His mother was never married to Tilden Ferrell, but had another son by him four years after Early's birth. Death record at the courthouse says that Early was "killed by a cog wagon" (in the mines). His stone is illegible, but he is "buried next to his mother," per Sadie Williams Yeager. He was so young when he died that recent generations of the family did not know about him. His name was found in the courthouse records. I heard him referred to by an elderly neighbor as Joseph Early.
