I've been reading these various posts, and I don't know if any of these are
my Fergusons. Can anyone make a potential connection?
My line comes from Samuel who was born in Ireland about 1780. Samuel's
children were John, who emigrated to the U. S. and spent most of his life in
Pennsylvania (perhaps in Canada earlier) , and James, Samuel, Mary, and
Margaret who stayed in Ireland. James had twins George and James, born in
Co. Monaghan in 1819 who emigrated to Canada around Hamilton (east point of
Lake Ontario). From there the lines moved to Pennsylvania and to North
Dakota, then into Illinois and Minnesota.
James, one of the twins, stayed in Canada, but I have no information on him
except that he died in Hamilton, Ontario sometime after 1885.
George, the other twin, had a son John J. b. 1848, who spent his life in
North Dakota. John J.'s son James lived in Winnepeg, Manitoba.
George had several other children, all born in the 1850s and 1860s: James
m.Hattie Totman, Esther m. Walter Jenkins, Margaret m. James Henderson
HUNTER, Martha m. John Doty, George m. Ardell McCulloh, and Mary m. Elbert
King.
Somewhere in my notes I feel certain that I have someone in Kingston, but I
can't find a way to search for place names in my PAF program.
