My grate?grandfather William
Ferguson arrived in
America in 1771 at
the age of 17, from County Down, with what's believed to be with 2
other brothers, Later 1 returned to Ireland,
Williams Father Josiah
Ferguson B:1725 also from County Down came to
America and is buried in
Morgan County Kentucky, I don't know if Josiah
Ferguson came to
America with William or later after William served in the
Revolutionary War (8th
Penn) 3 years and 1 month then settled in what
is known today as
Morgan County Kentucky some time around or after
1785.
I am looking for any of William
Ferguson brothers decedents
I have a Josiah/Joseph
Ferguson (
Williams Brother)B: 1763 County Down
D: Oct 1830
Fayette County Va.
He would have been around 10 years old when William Arrived in
America, he would have came later and maybe with brothers and there
father after the War.
William being one of the first settlers along with
Elder DanielsWilliams in
Morgan County Ky, I haven't found any other
Ferguson in
that area in late 18th very early 19th century.
So if
Williams brothers came to
America? then they must have lived in
different parts of the country.
