From: "Annette Rascoe" Subject: [Ferguson-L] Re: SC Magazine of Ancestral Research, V. 1 & 2 I picked up the following info from a current free database of the day from Ancestry.com.

Ferguson b. 2 Sep 1855, in Walker Co., Ala, m. Roxana ?, d. 11 Dec 1881, buried at Scott Cem. near Saragossa, AL. His father was Henry Ferguson b 9 Sep. 1832 in Chester Co., SC. If you think there might be a connection, let me know and I will supply further info. Annette Hutchinson Rascoe ---------- There were a number of Ferguson families that went south to Alabama and Mississippi. I am descended from one that is also a brick wall. One of the sons was named John W. Ferguson, born in AL about 1855. According to census records (all that I have to go on) the John's father was born in AL, TN or VA, depending on which census you choose to believe. He was also born in 1832, 1846, or 1838, reflected by the ages shown in the three census records. There was also a James H. Ferguson (brother to John) born about 1857. There was also a very wealthy older James H. Ferguson residing in the same county. I suspect kinship, but dont know how. Unable to tie these to another Ferguson family.
