This census indicates that Abraham and Louisa moved from Alabama to Choctaw County, MS between 1841 and 1844.
There is another discrepancy between the census records and the Ferguson Family Bible as the 1860 census shows a "David" in the household - however, the Family Bible Record indicates that David, b 1848, died June 9 1853. The "David" in the 1860 census is the correct age to be the missing "James" from the 1850 census. Could James name have been "James David" or was there another relative living with them at that time.
