She is mentioned in her grandfather Barrow's will, where he left her some
Pewter. This can be found in "Barrow: An Early Southern Family" by Mae Belle
Barrow North, Vol 1 no1/2/3/4 under one cover, 1987", the will being in part 3.
I got some information somewhere saying she died 1830 in Pulaski, Kentucky.
However, given the second marriage of John Ferguson in 1828 ["Roster of
Soldiers and Patriots of the American Revolution buried in Indiana" Compiled by
Roscoe C. O'Bryne, 1939, pg. 139-140], this appears rather non-credible. It is
much more likely that she died in Boone County, Indiana circa 1825.
Debbie sent me a descendancy chart on 7/18/97 in which her
death was labelled as abt 1827 in Pulaski Co., Ky.

Edward Ferguson (28 MAY 1762-) m. Elizabeth Hunter (ABT 1762-) on 30 OCT 1787 at Brunswick Co.,Virginia
Father:John Barrow Mother:Elizabeth [---] Birth: 1728 South Hampton,Brunswick Co.,Virginia
Death: 23 JAN 1817 Stokes Co.,North Carolina
Notes:
The information about William Barrow, wife, and son came from George Erwin
Howell. Research on this branch was actually done by his cousin who lives
in Washington, but I don't have her name at this time.
The father of William Barrow is not known. However, I found this record in
the Carnegie Library:
John Barrow, son of Edward and Elizabeth Barrow, was born 20 Feb 1729
at Farnham Parish, Richmond Co., Virginia.
This looks VERY much like a sibling, and thus the connection to his father,
as shown here.
Death date in LDS is: 14 Nov 1819.

However, this has not been proven, and a 1748 birthdate is considerably earlier
than one would expect (compare the birthdates of her children). I would expect
a birthdate closer to 1765 for the first wife of Benjamin Briggs.
