This is my first posting to the Ferguson group.  I have subscribed for some
time and have seen no Fergusons related to my line.  My data is mostly from
family records, so I can't verify its authenticity.

My family records have John Ferguson, Sr. as the son of William Ferguson,
Sr. and Sarah C. Smith Ferguson.  However, in the History of Highland
County, Ohio 
James and Rachel (Walker) Ferguson are listed as John's parents.  The
History states that William came to America from County Antrim, Ireland in
1750. ( I have John Ferguson, Sr. being born in Ireland abt. 1757).  It
says they originally settled in Cumberland Co., PA.  (I have John Ferguson,
Jr.
being born in Washington Co., PA). The history also says that John's two
brothers James and Matthew settled in Ross Co., OH. (I have no information
on any brothers). 
This is all confusing to me and I hope someone out there can help me.
