Goodspeed's history 1886 states "Robert Ferguson, father of Cumberland, was a native of Ireland. He had a second cousin, John Ferguson, who was born in Bucks County, Pennsylvania afterward moved to Frederick County, Maryland, and who was of Irish descent. Betty Harrell's "The Clabaughs" chapter 3 states: "Shortly after the revolution we find our first link with the name Cumberland, which has carried down as a first name in several of John Clabaugh's lines. In 1786 John Clabaugh, in his 30s, was appointed guardian of a Cumberland Ferguson, age about 14, with the bond being put by Abraham Hill and John Eckus.[11] Young Cumberland was the only child of Robert Ferguson of Taneytown, who died in 1773 leaving his baby son in the custody of the boy's mother. Robert appointed John Farguson of Pipe Creek and John McAlister of Taneytown his executors; witnessing the will were Abraham White, Samuel Wilson, and an Adult Cumberland Ferguson.[12] It is believed that this Robert Ferguson and the adult Cumberland Ferguson were brothers of John Clabaugh's wife Margaret; however, no mention is made of them nor Robert's son Cumberland in the will of Margaret's father Samuel Ferguson in 1789.[13] The adult Cumberland was probably the Cumberland Ferguson who on July 28, 1777 , was paid £.15.0 for 32 days jointer (carpenter) work on the Sloop Molly. [14] It is tempting to think that he died gallantly fighting for American independence, leaving no heirs and thus not mentioned in the will of Samuel Ferguson. Also the younger Cumberland may have died prior to the writing of the will. Hopefully, the relationship someday will be confirmed." I know that the young Cumberland did not die, he went to Sevier Co Tn. with John & Margaret Clabaugh. He later came with family through Madison Co Illinois and then later to Osage Couth Missouri.
