I have not followed any of William Farris and Judith Johnson children except for John Thomas. This is what I have from the 1860 census. I have also included John's obituary.

1860 Barren County census, Kentucky, Dist #2, Glasgow Twp, Aug 28, page 110, #804:
W.B., 35, farmer, born IL;
Judith, 27, KY; H.A., 10, Texas;
John T., 8, TX; S.P., 6, TX;
Robt., 4, KY; Frank, 3, KY;
J.C., 1 month, KY.

It appears that this Farris family lived in Texas 1851-1856 as three children were born there.

Holton Recorder, Holton, Kansas, December 4, 1902, page 4 DEATHS. Ferris

John T. Ferris, after being afflicted with consumption for nine years, died last Saturday, November 29, at the age of 48 years. He was born in Fanning county, Texas, and moved to Holton 15 years ago. During his residence here he was known as a quiet respectable citizen. He leaves a wife, three sons and a daughter to mourn his loss. The funeral was held at the home Monday morning, Dr. Edwin Locke officiating.
