I am new to the list and thought I would post my line and query:

I have been stumped on my Ferguson line since I began genealogy.  

My ancestor is William H. Ferguson b. 24 Jun 1843. I have seen records (mostly
census) showing his birthplace as Wayne Co., TN, TX, AR, GA, AL.  He died 11
Dec 1904 Wise Co., TX.  He married 24 Jun 1846 - possibly in Upshur co., TX -
to Sarah Elizabeth Hathcox b. 20 Aug 1845 in GA d. 21 Oct 1918 Wise Co., TX.
She was daughter of James Hathcox/Hathcock b. 1807 NC and Sarah Thornton b.
1815 GA.

I have NO idea who William's parents are.  There were so many William H.
Fergusons b. about the same time.

I show a William Ferguson b. Jun 1844 Scott Co., VA son of  Jeremiah Ferguson
b. 1813 VA d. Cumberland Co., KY and Thursana Ann Coop b. 1824 Hawkins Co., TN
d. Cumberland Co., KY.  Jeremiah and Thursana married 19 Jan 1843 Hawkins Co.,
TN.

Here is one that might be a cousin of my William:
William Henry Ferguson b. 1854 TX married to M. S. Harrell 15 Dec 1878 Upshur
Co., TX.  William Henry was son of Wilburn William Ferguson b. 1825 TN and
Pamela T. Wyatt b. 1823 TN.  Wilburn and Pamela married 25 Jul 1845 Decatur,
TN.

I have several other William Fergusons all born 1840 to 1846 that could be
mine.  Can  anybody help?

I would appreciate any information or leads you would be willing to share with
me, and I am always willing to share with others.

Thanks, 

Dee
