Appleton and Company, 1887-1889 was the "most-quoted" biographical source for 19th and early 20th America. Appleton's, due to its age, reflects the bias and prejudice of late 19th Century America. It is also estimated that 100 to 200 of the 35,000 biographies are entirely fictitious. Additionally, the OCR technology used to transfer the text to the web was, at best, only a 99% accurate.

William was the eldest of his parent's eight children, six boys and two girls. He was born on his parent's farm in a remote rural area of the Allegheny Mountains in Bedford county, which is in southern Pennsylvania in the United States. To the south of Bedford County was Maryland and in 1829 the Ferrel family crossed this state into what today is West Virginia, but it was not in those times since West Virginia was only admitted to the Union in 1863 when it became the 35th state. There they farmed the land in Berkeley County. William was a shy boy who kept to himself and did not mix with friends but worked hard on the family farm. His education was typical for the time in the rural community in which he lived. There was a schoolhouse with a single room in which all ages of children were educated, and William only received this primitive education during two winters. However he was keen on education and he made a number of difficult journeys to Martinsburg and Hagerstown in north-central Maryland where he bought science books which he read with enthusiasm. He educated himself sufficiently to become a school teacher.

THE WILLIAM FERREL TIDE-PREDICTING MACHINE This was the first tide predicting machine used in the United States. It was designed by William Ferrel, a mathematician with the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, and completed in 1882. The machine summed 19 harmonic tidal constituents and gave direct readings of the predicted times and heights of the high and low waters. Predictions were made on this machine from 1885 through 1991.

19. NOAA, History Of Tidal Analysis And Prediction Among the American mathematicians who have had an important part in the developmentof this subject may be named Professor william ferrel and Dr. Rollin A http://co-ops.nos.noaa.gov/predhist.html

History of Tidal Analysis and Prediction Early example of a "real-time" tide gauge. Mechanical tide gauges were first used in the United States in the 1850s. This old wooden station, used in 1897 at Fort Hamilton, New York, is one of the earliest examples of a real-time, tide-measuring device. When entering or leaving the port, mariners would view this station through binoculars. The pointer indicates the present level of the water while the vertical arrow indicates whether the tide is rising or falling. People who live in coastal areas or who look to the sea for their livelihood have been observing the tides and tidal currents for many years. They have used their observations and practical knowledge in a variety of ways to their advantage. For example, it has aided them in timing the sailing of ships to and from port. It has also aided them in maintaining aquaculture and fishery activities in the inter-tidal zone near their shores. Back A more theoretical study of tidal phenomena was undertake by notable people from the past. The work of the people highlighted here has formed the basis of present-day tidal analysis and prediction as practiced in the National Ocean Service. Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) devised the method of reduction of tides by harmonic analysis In 1867 the British Association for the Advancement of Science appointed a committee for the purpose of promoting the extension, improvement, and harmonic analysis of tidal observations. The report on the subject was prepared by Sir William Thomson and was published in the Report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1868. Supplementary reports were made from time to time by the tidal committee and published in subsequent reports of the British association. A few years later a committee, consisting of Professors G. H. Darwin and J. C. Adams, drew up a very full report on the subject, which was published in the Report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1883.
