Three of their sons served in the War Between the States: James D Ferguson served in the 5th Mississippi and died at the Battle of Franklin on 1 December 1864 leaving a wife and four children. Marion served in the 35th Mississippi and was captured at Water Valley, Mississippi. He was imprisoned at Alton, Illinois POW camp where he died and is buried.

The family stayed in touch with James D Ferguson's family whose descendants moved to Texas and lived near their family in the early part of the 20th century.
