Subject: [MDPGEORG] FERGUSSON Family of Scotland - Charles Co., MD
Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2003 09:45:09 -0500


Sorry for the first file I sent out, it was garbled because of format. I
will try another way.

Does anybody have this Fergusson family found in Charles Co., MD?

I am trying to find origin of my Josias Ferguson c 1743 - aft. 1810 in PG
Co., MD
He Married Margarey Duvall, of the large Mareen Duvall family of PG Co.,
MD.
I would appreciate any help you can give me!

Thanks,

Morris L. Ferguson
