I searched diligently thru all the lists hoping to find my William Ferguson who was born in KY in 1798 and settled in McDonough Co. IL around 1833 to 36 along with his wife Ellen (Sandusky) Ferguson. He was a gunsmith and lived in McDonough Co the rest of his life. He died 1862 and Ellen died 1872. Their oldest child was born in KY but remainder of children (8 or 9) were all born in IL. Would like to connect with someone who could tell me about his father & mother and siblings. Their daughter Isabelle Ferguson married Sylvester Metz who were my great grand parents. Carol Murphy Ulrey
