This is all I have, and it came from cemetery records. !SOURCE: INSCRIPTIONS OF SHELBY CO., IL CEMETERIES by Ed Boedecker who with his mother gave additional info -son of Zachariah Ferguson -moved to Ohio about 1829, married a Miss Fires who died leaving him with 2 children -in fall 1857 moved with second wife Penelope Sears to IL, settled in Ash Grove Twp. as a farmer & breeder of fine horses -Penelope born 1834, died 1921 - had many children I would like to think that I can connect these Fergusons with our Fergusons at some time in some way. -1 OBITUARY of son Zimri P. Ferguson, born 3 Mar 1857 in Fayette Co., OH to Anderson and Penelope Ferguson says he moved with his family when he was "only a babe in arms" to Ash Grove township, Shelby Co., IL.
