It sounds like they have as much of a convolution as I do.

It seems that I remember making contact many years ago with a branch of the
Ferguson family that is descended from Lewis Ferguson, son of John of
Culpeper, and that they were mostly in Ohio and maybe Missouri. As I
remember it, they even have a yearly reunion with all of the descendants of
Lewis Ferguson invited. That may have been twenty years ago when one of
them contacted me.
