She was born in County Wexford, Ireland Age 96yr 9mo 13da Auxvasse Township History of Callaway County, Missouri, published in 1884 by the St. Louis National Historical Company, Chapter V, pages 133-148. Transcribed by Kris Breid. Early Settlers: Nathaniel Ferrier, of East Tennessee, settled in Callaway county in 1817. His two sons, Thomas and SAMUEL, and his nephew, Thomas (better known as “Long Tom”), came with him from Tennessee. Thomas, the son of Nathaniel Ferrier, married the widow of James H. Goodrich; SAMUEL MARRIED ALICE SHANNON, daughter of JAMES SHANNON, who was the first settler on Hancock’s prairie, in Callaway County, MO. Mr. Shannon was a Catholic, and donated four acres of land to his church, upon which he also built a house of worship. He was a native of Ireland, where he married. After his marriage he decided to emigrate t America, but being too poor to bring his wife, he came over by himself, and after he had made money enough, he sent for her. He met her in St. Louis, where they celebrated the event by drinking liberal draughts of the liquid which elevates the soul and makes the spirit glad. They drank a little too much, and began to quarrel about the time they were married, one claiming that it was during a certain year, and the other that it was altogether a different year. Being unable to agree, they decided to settle the matter by getting married again; so they repaired to a convenient priest, and were soon made one again. Samuel Ferrier, in his old age, removed to Washington territory, and soon afterward wrote a glowing letter back to his cousin, Long Tom Ferrier, who was then about eighty years old, telling him that deer, bears and bee trees were abundant out there. Long Tom was so captivated by this description that he shouldered his gun the next day and started for the distant land of promise on foot.
