You probably hit that about right. I don't suppose that site would be the one to use for general type questions on Ferguson genealogy.
For some reason I haven't been getting much off the Ferguson-L list lately.
I stand corrected!
Now on the second part you are also probably correct, as that ship carried prisoners from the Jacobite rebellion, assuming of course other Fergusons from Ireland didn't get involved.
In any case I'l still open to any and all information on my Ferguson family.
