From: Bob/Debbie Bailey
Thought I would put this out and see if it helps anyone. (This is
my family.)
The following information is from the book "As For Me and My House...The
Story of Samuel Ferguson and Sarah Hooey and Their Descendants 1788-1990",
originally written by Robert J. Ferguson, updated by Clarence H. Ferguson.
I will put the first couple generations here. If there seems to be
interest, I will put continue to put all of it here. (There are about
5,000
descendants listed.)
There are several pages of information on Samuel and Sarah that I will
send
personally to anyone requesting it. I'll just put the vitals here.
