Larry, 
In our family group of Fergusons we have a John W. 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.

----------


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.

This is the list the ancestors of Adams Ferguson are listed on.  There
