Subject: [Ferguson] Roll - Nelson Co., Virginia
My Ggrandfather was Jesse Bernard Ferguson b. 1853 in Albemarle, Virginia and
moved to Electra, Texas. His father Samuel Allen Ferguson; his Gfather
Samuel, Jr. and his GGfather Samuel Sr. all stayed in the Nelson Co.,
Virginia area (Albemarle/Fluvanna area.) I wish I could find from whence
they hailed before setting foot on American soil. Samuel Sr. is our mystery.
My allied lines are Bernard, Mitchell, Barksdale, Bell, Terrill.

Subject: [Ferguson] Scotland Fergusons
"Does anyone know where the Albermarle County, Virginia Fergusons originated"
from in Scotland? Or was it Ireland?
My oldest known Ferguson is Samuel Ferguson b. 1781 in Virginia d. abt 1826
"in Virginia and m. Mary Bynum Bernard 1807 in Fluvanna, Virginia. Samuel"
Ferguson's father was also named Samuel.
Please Help! ---Lorraine
"Also researching: Bell, Lee, Gresham, Bernard, Shelton, Woodson, Sutherland,"
"McDonald, Stegall, Barkesdale, Hodges, Cates, Morton, Randolph, Leach,"
"Bowman, Atkins, Halbert, Young, Love, Wear, Robertson, Lewis, Pryor, Tinsley,"
"Quin, Matlock, DePriest, Micheaux"

I have been on this list for a very long time and have not YET found another Ferguson cousin. I will try my annual posting and see if I can fish any relatives out.

I descend from Samuel Ferguson, Sr. b. abt 1755 and his son Samuel Ferguson, Jr. b. bef June 1781 m. 19 Dec 1807 Fluvanna, VA to Mary Polly Bynum BERNARD (dau of Allen Bernard & Nancy B. Mitchell. The family lives in or near Nelson Co., Virginia until my GGrandpa Jesse Bernard Ferguson emigrates to Texas.
Anything strike familiar?
---Hoping to be a cousin,
Lorraine

Yes, I have the info. you posted. Gary and I are researching together with Bonnie Ferguson and John Ferguson. Just wishing that someone on this list could clear up our brick walls. A dream...
How do you come down this line?

First there are 2 Jesse Bernard, just for clarification. My Great Grandfather was Jesse Bernard Ferguson b. 17 Mar 1853 Charlottesville, Albemarle, VA, d. 14 Dec 1930 Electra, Wichita, TX. His parents and siblings were:

1. Samuel A. FERGUSON. Born in 28 Jan 1815 in Fluvanna County, Virginia. Occupation: County Constable.
Samuel A. married 7 Aug 1837 Batesville, St. Anne's Parish, VA to Eliza Jane BARKSDALE, born in 6 Apr 1820 in Albemarle County, Virginia.
They had the following children:
2. James FERGUSON. Born in 1838. No more info on him.
3. Mary Louise FERGUSON. Born in 1840 in Albemarle County, Virginia, m. George Washington Butler in the VA home of Samuel Allen Ferguson 1864.
4. John W. (Wood?)FERGUSON. Born in 1843 in Albemarle County, Virginia m. Letitia. Census says her name is Lit. A.
5. Sally (Sallie) Willie FERGUSON. Born on 22 Jan 1845 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Sally (Sallie) Willie died in St Mary-Corwin Hospital, Pueblo, Colorado m. Norman Phineas Barton in 1864.

7. Benjamin H. FERGUSON. Born in 1851 in Albemarle County, Virginia m. Annie W.
8. Annie V. FERGUSON. Born in 1853 in Nelson County, Virginia.

10. Samuel R. FERGUSON. Born in 1859 in Nelson County, Virginia.

I correspond often to a descendent of Robert Emmett and Sallie Willie and also Samuel Allen's brother.

The 2nd Jesse Bernard Ferguson is actually the brother to the 1st JBFerguson's father, Samuel Allen. He is Jesse Bernard Ferguson b. 27 Jan 1827 in Augusta, VA d. 14 Jun 1910 Waynesboro, Augusta, VA m. Nancy A. Burnett. They had 8 children: William Bernard, Eva Jane, Fannie, George, Cora, Annie, Gertrude and Edgar.
