"Michele & list,"
My Ferguson line (Amelia Shorts Ferguson m. Israel Cook) left Prince Edward
"Co. (Picton) about the same time frame and ended up in Volney, Oswego Co.,"
NY by the 1840 census. They moved on to SW Michigan (Berrien Co.) by the
"1860s where Israel died of cholera. Amelia lived with her son, Richard"
Ferguson Cook's family till she died. That family moved from Berrien Co. to
"Van Buren Co., MI about 1880s. If you find the reason for your Ferguson"
"family's move, please let me know, as there may be some connection."
"By the way, Amelia Shorts Ferguson was a d/o Arra Ferguson & Catherine"
Shorts.
Thanks!

Most of my research comes from (1) The Settlers of The Beekman Patent (by
F. J. Doherty) and (2) Richard Ferguson, Loyalist Spy (by R. M. Campbell).

Did not find a BETTES connection in my data. My Ferguson connection is from
John Ferguson (m. Sarah Hunt) down to Arra Ferguson & Catherine Shorts'
daughter, Amelia Shorts Ferguson who married Israel Cook (b. VT) in about
1830-1833 in Prince Edward Co., Ontario. They moved to NY and then on to MI
by the 1860s.
