1. [FERGUSON-DNA] Scots Modal Haplogroup [1]
The FERGUSON of this group are among the early settlers of Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. Their ancestors originate in Scotland but until now there has been little if any indication of where within Scotland. John McEwan has mapped the distribution of this group for all surnames and his result suggests the group originates in counties north and west of Glasgow. For us the most likely locale is the county Argyll. http://www.geocities.com/mcewanjc/scotsr1b.htm According to Sir James Fergusson of

Victor Villarreal sent this through the dna genealogy email list. You have to save it, then open it in a program to make it bigger(I used Microsoft office picture manager), look for the Ferguson, it groups him with the E3b1a's. Which is Alpha Cluster. These diagrams Victor makes are wonderful. A new SNP is going to be announced soon to check for Alpha Cluster, if I'm understanding it right, so we'll test for that when it is available. Victor sent: Some new E3b diagrams are online. The 37-marker page

Colin, Our goal is to establish the likely haplotype for Archibald Ferguson. As you mentioned, a side benefit will also be an indication if there were any non-paternal events in either line from Archibald. We are not expecting any though. Thanks for the help and the discount.

5. [FERGUSON-DNA] Farris, Ferris, Fergusson [1]
We have two new participants who share a common ancestor about 1,000 years ago with John G. FERGUSSON of the Kilkerran line in Ayrshire, Scotland. They are Mark FARRIS and George FERRIS. You don't have to look to hard on the net to find statements to the effect "The Gaelic name MacFhearguis has been corrupted through translation into the forms, MacFergus, MacFerries, and MacFerris". FERRIS is among the sept names listed for Clan Ferguson and we now have some DNA evidence to support the inclusion. --
6. [FERGUSON-DNA] Speaking of Argyll [1]
Results are now in for David Lawrence Ferguson. His ancestor is John A. FERGUSON b. 12 Apr 1821 Kilinian, Islay, Scotland. His 37 markers match within 2 of Rodney Ferguson whose ancestors hail from Clones, County Monaghan, Ulster. They probably share an ancestor within 300-570 years. Heretofore I had grouped Rodney as R1b Atlantic but with considerable uncertainty and thus subject to change. I could not justify putting David in that same group and thus I had to search for a new group in which they wo
7. Re: [FERGUSON-DNA] Scots Modal Haplogroup [1]
Hi Colin and Sharon, I'll try and help here. Inverawe is today a tiny settlement, merely a hamlet in reality; the name possibly describes a wider, very sparsely populated area between Lochs Etive and Awe in Argyll. See Map: http://tinyurl.com/yf9nkw I see no reason to believe that there have been greater concentrations of population in this area, thus the pool of possible ancestors of any living FERGUSON will be very limited. A needle in a very small haystack still takes some finding! The nearest vil

Hello Ina, No perhaps about it! Ian should be encouraged to get his DNA tested. Please tell more of his pedigree. I see that results are in for your donor, John Ferguson, and he does not yet match anyone. What is John's middle name? We have another John Ferguson in the project and it will help in distinguishing the two. -- Cheers, Colin

10. Re: [FERGUSON-DNA] DNA For Christmas [1]
Scott, I can see no reason to test your father or your brother. Your money would be better spent sponsoring someone else who (1) is as distantly related to you as possible, (2) might be related to you or (3) by contributing to our general fund. Finding some distant cousin validates your DNA all the way back to your common ancestor. If you test your father, then you have validated back just one generation. If you test your cousin, your common ancestor is your grandfather and you validate back two gene

14. [FERGUSON-DNA] Archibald FERGUSON b. 3 Mar 1790 in North Carolina [1]
Christopher "Scott" Ferguson recruited a distant cousin Arthur Harrison Ferguson to join the project. Their common ancestor is Archibald FERGUSON b. 3 Mar 1790 in North Carolina who married Sarah MCMASTERS b: 10 AUG 1801 in North Carolina. Scott's goal in recruiting Arthur is to rule out any non-paternal events between Archibald and himself. This uses up the first of the two Christmas gift certificates given to us by Family Tree DNA.

Holly,these two Ferguson lines coexisted in Hancock co, Tn since 1830. It's really going to be interesting to see if they were truly related. In addition to David's line having a 'Lee', our line also had a Lee Samuel Ferguson on addition to Wesley.

16. [FERGUSON-DNA] Dan Ferguson [1]
Randy L. Franklin has joined our project after discovering his DNA matches 6 of 37 markers to our Scotland to Virginia participants Harold, Elbert, and Johnny. He reports that he is researching a Dan FERGUSON who was the husband of an Orlena Belle FRANKLIN and sister to his great grandfather John Newton FRANKLIN. -- Cheers, Colin Ferguson
17. Re: [FERGUSON-DNA] (no subject) [1]
David, I can't answer your question, but my husband's Fergusons are from Hancock County Tennessee. He is the first one listed on this page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~colin/Ferguson/DNA/Participants.htm His kit number is 72234. It would be interesting to see if your Y dna matched his. We have two other matches on there and we're trying to fit them together with genealogy right now.

Hi Colin, You were kind enough to say: > Terrific information, thank you! No problem! You continued: > I contacted Margaret Ferguson who owns one of the trees you refered to > Genes Reunited. The eariest ancestor she lists is Thomas Ferguson b. > 1897, Oban. I should have said this earlier, but be aware that Oban is/was a key 'hub port' serving virtually all of the islands of the Inner Hebrides; the likelihood of Ferguson originating from Bute let's say or any of the other islands is high. As with all
19. [FERGUSON-DNA] Christopher FERGUSON b. 1812 PA [1]
Results are in for Pam's donor Neil Ellsworth Ferguson. He matches perfectly 37 markers with Frank Howard Ferguson. The both can trace their ancestry to Christopher's sons William and Joel respectively. Given the DNA match their is no doubt that their DNA is representative of said Christopher. Neil is part of the R1a Viking group. Their closest match within this group is to Jeffrey Scott Ferguson whose ancestor is James FERGUSON (born 1808) emigrated from Corroneary Manor, County Cavan, Ulster to Up

Angus, Your caveat rang true. I heard back from Margaret on Genes Reunited regarding Thomas FERGUSON b. > 1897, Oban. It turns out the family traces back to Lanarkshire with a Thomas FERGUSON who in 1866 married the widow Janet formerly LEGGET nee HAM
22. Re: [FERGUSON-DNA] Scots Modal Haplogroup [1]
HI Colin, I posted a query on one of my sites for the location of Inverawe, and the reply I got from someone who knows a great deal about Scottish Parishes was: It should be in Ardchattan, but is very close to the parish boundary with Glenorchy and Inishail. At a push, it is also close to Muckairn. I am in contact with an Ian Ferguson whose ancestors originated in Strachur, then moved on to Greenock. I know that one of his ancestors, a Dugald Ferguson left Strachur and went to Virginia,

Hi Colin, Some more info on Inverawe. Go to http://www.nls.uk/maps/early/os_scotland_2nd_ed_list.html Click on sheet 45 - Oban Ardchattan is the large yellow-coloured parish that is on both sides of the north-southish limb of Loch Etive. Glenorchy & Inishail is the blue-coloured parish to the south and east of Ardchattan. Muckairn is the other yellow-coloured parish to the west of Glenorchy and Inishail. Inverawe is at the mouth of the River Awe (gaelic Inbhir = Inver, meaning at the mo

David, Do you plan to do the DNA test? I have been looking for someone from Joseph's line to do the test. I am descended from Andrew J Ferguson of Hancock co, Tn and need to find out if they were related. andrew was born ca 1800 and was married to Elizabeth Gray and a descendant has been tested. In studying the other 2 matches to Andrew, we think that they came from Wilkes co, NC. The 1830/40 census for Hawkins co (War Creek) show an Abner, Joseph, George, and John Ferguson.

25. Re: [FERGUSON-DNA] Scots Modal Haplogroup [1]
Angus, On the parish map I note that the parish of Strachur is proximal to the candidate parishes for Inverawe. Strachur is of interest for there are records of a FERGUSON family here as early the mid 1500s. Herein lies the origins of one our Sept names, McKerras. The following is from the Campbell site http://www.ccsna.org/septs.htm "Gilbarchan MKerras had sasine of the lands of Stronchrevich in 1542; in 1547 the Earl of Argyll confirmed these lands to his beloved servitor, Iain Makane VcKerres of
