William Ferguson - Campbeltown
« on: Saturday 11 February 17 03:35 GMT (UK) »
I am descended from William Ferguson born in Campbeltown in 1841 born to Hugh and Janet Ferguson. He migrated to Canada and then to the US in Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, and Iowa. I am wondering if there are any Ferguson descendants from my family line still residing in Campbeltown. I believe William had 3 brothers James, John, and Hugh one of which may have traveled to Canada with William. He may have also had a sister I do not have her name. I am planning on visiting in May 2017 and would like to meet with any Fergusons from my line who may still reside there. I was also advised to contact Angus Martin who may be able to assist. If anyone is able to provide contact information such as an email address I would greatly appreciate your help. Regards, Lori Fogarty

Angus Martin may be this RootsChat member here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=24763  If so, he has not been online here for some time. Hopefully someone can give you further details on contact for him.

Thank you for the response Monica. Kathleen Kane who provided much of the information in the two links about the family is my mother's first cousin. My grandmother and her father were siblings.
