Subject: [Ferguson-L] Fergusons - Stokes Co, NC>Pulaski Co, KY>IN>IA I'm new to the list, and am researching the following Fergusons who apparently migrated from York Co, VA to Stokes Co, NC to Pulaski Co, KY to Owen Co, IN to IA (Council Bluffs and other towns). I've pieced together the following direct line from various sources. Looking to verify info and/or fill in holes. Would be especially interested to find descendants of some of the more recent Fergusons in the direct line. I'll start with this overview: William Ferguson (b. 1724) married Elizabeth ?, York Co VA --> John Ferguson (1755-1842) married Phebe Hill BARROW (1751-1827), their children born in Stokes County, NC ---> David Barrow Ferguson (1783-1834) married Nancy Rand PEGRAM (1788-1838), their children born in Pulaski County, KY --> Joseph Martin Ferguson (b. 1820) married Elizabeth HILSABECK (b. 1821), their children born in Owen County, IN --> John Samuel Ferguson (1841-1923) married Hannah Melissa MILLER (1842-1901), their children born in Council Bluffs, IA --> Hugh Oscar Ferguson (2/24/1879-5/3/1954) married Sarah Rebecca SMITH (7/31/1877-7/11/1956), lived in IA and WY Ruth Elizabeth Ferguson (1/18/1905-2/1980) married Frederick Adrian KINCH Jr (10/21/1901-6/25/1975) (= my husband's grandparents) (she was born in Cheyenne, WY-->married in KY/lived in OH--> lived in/died in Westfield, NJ) Anything look familiar??
