>Hi; 
You are not alone in the senior Fergusons looking for their roots. I was
born in 1928 so I know exactly how you feel. As for health , all of us only
have one day at a time. I put a lot of time and effort into taking good
care on myself, and above all I try to set a good example for my family and
friends. That was a lesson my father taught me. I have not been able to
find much on my line of Fergusons, however I have learned how to find what
I need. I have met so many wonderful people on the net, that alone is worth
all the time I spend. My G-G-grandfather William Ferguson died on board
ship on his way to the USA in 1852, he only had one son John Hunter
Ferguson b. Dec.25, 1838 in Dumfries, Scotland. He lived most of his life
in Iberia, Missouri. He was in the Civil War. He lived to the age 101 yrs.
I remember visiting with him when I was a young boy. I was 12 yrs. old the
year he died. As one old-thmer to another, hang in their we have a lot to do.
God bless you and yours. 
Your friend and fellow Ferguson

>Hi Sharon;
 I understand how you feel about never finding family members. I have a
situation that is unlike most. My Fergusons came to the USA in 1852, My
G-G-Grandfather died aboard ship during the voyage. My grandfather was the
only son, so only  one person could pass on the family name. I have a great
uncle named William T. Ferguson born May 20, 1863 in Iberia, Missouri. All
of my family of Fergusons have now migrated all over the country. I live in
Denton, Tx. I was born in Dixon, Mo. If you have a connection to any of the
Missouri Fergusons, please contact me, I would love to exchange information
with you.
Sincerely.

Harold E. Ferguson, Denton, Texas

"List,"
I am looking for any of my Ferguson/FERGUSSON family anywhere around the
"world. My G-Grandfather, JOHN HUNTER Ferguson b. Dec. 25, 1840 in Dumfries"
Scotland. His parents were WILLIAM JOHN and ISABELLA (HUNTER) Ferguson. His
"Grand parents were GEORGE FERGUSSON, and MARTHA KERR. His G-Grandparents"
were WILLIAM FERGUSSON and JANE LINDSAY. All of the above lived in the
Dumfries area. I do not know of any other members of this family immigrating
to the USA or any other country. I am trying to find anyone related to this
family.
"WILLIAM JOHN Ferguson, and his family,wife ISABELLA, one son and two"
daughters immigrated to the USA in 1852. William died aboard ship. His wife
"and three children continued the voyage, landed in New Orleans, La. and"
"later settled in Missouri. This family is well known in Miller, County"
Missouri. The Iberia area.
I would be delighted to hear from any interested parties.
Sincerely
"Harold Edward Ferguson Born Dixon, Mo. Now live in Denton, Texas"
