Joseph Fergusonwas born
SC in the 1780s. He went to KY. then to
Ill. then to TX by 1834.
Not sure about 1st wife, 2nd was a Hannah Brown &
3rd was a
Hannah Penrod he married
in Tx. I am not sure about the wives so don't take
it to the bank right now,
still working on him.

My Fergusonresearch is centered in TEXAS & follows
these lines:
DELLA MAE Ferguson(1887 Brady TX-1974 Rule TX) m William Edgar
Hollingsworth (b 1882 Ellis co TX d 1962 Rule TX) m 1906 Brady
Co or
Haskell Co TX
dau of DAVID AULSTON Ferguson(1857 Longview Co TX -1938 Coleman TX) &
Mary
Ann (McCullough/McCullin ????) d 1903 TX
son of ALSTON JOSEPH Ferguson(1823 Kaskaskia IL - 1867 Erath Co? TX) m
Sarah Carolina Smith 1847. He was given a Harrison Co TX land grant
by
Anson Jones, President of Republic of TX 1846.
psbly son of JOSEPH FURGUSON b ~1788 TN or KY d 1839 Harrison Co
TX) & Jane
Gragg/Gregg (b1798 KY d 1874 or 1875 Harrison Co TX)
There were several Joseph Fergusonfamilies listed as settlers of Texas,
many with children named Alstan/Alston/Aulston, etc.
Anyone have info on this line?? I have accumulated info on "unrelated"
lines, esp in early TEXAS 1840-1870 timeframe and will share any or all.
The Joseph Fergusonlines of Brazos & Limestone Co. Tx. are my lines.
The
East Tx. Joseph & my Joseph have been mixed up I think. They
either had
children by the same names or someone yrs. ago put all the children
together. I will have to go back & dig out old records of Robertson
Co. Tx.
I may have some legal papers signed by your Alston.
I don't know which Joseph was married to Jane Gregg, some say mine, some
say
your. I do know that his last wife was Hannah & she &
Joseph are both
buried in FergusonCem. Oletha, Limestone Co. Tx.
Limestone Co. Joseph was the father of Robert M. Ferguson

Rebecca was
born in Ill.
