    2. [S1730] Featherstone Society Member Elaine Boston, E. Elaine Boston, (2014), I have no official marriage record; I place it circa 1829 in Bedford County, Tennessee because the family moved to Shelby County, Illinois mid 184o's and are listed as living in Shelby County in the 1850 census and Mary J., their daughter Mary is not with the family but married to James Guillick and living in Clinton County, Illinois in 1860. Her b/d on 1860 census is c 1809. So overall it is a guess. I put her bd as c1809 and marriage date as c 1829. This family wasn't too concerned about children born prior to marriage.

    3. [S616] Contact Stephen Katsurinis, Stephen Katsurinis, (2011), I have not found a record of the marriage, but list it as circa 1829 because they appear to be living together in 1830 with a daughter and their first born was born in 1830 in Robertson County. If you have another source or any documentary evidence, it will be superior to my guess.

Our Names

The spelling of the name Featherstone has varied over the centuries, with additions and subtractions. Here is the list that we have registered with the Guild Of One Named Studies.

Featherstone, Featherston, Fetherstone, Fetherston, Featherstonhalgh, Featherstonehaugh, Featherstonhaugh, Fetherstonehaugh, Fetherstonhaugh.

We have examples from the Birth, Marriage and Death indexes where people were registered at birth with the final 'e' missing and were married with the final 'e' in the surname. The 'haugh' is more difficult to prove, but people have suddenly adopted it for no apparent reason, although we have instances where people adopted the name, usually when money was involved.
