Our line started with John Featherstone from England, born 1801 and married Bridget, who came to New York. He later moved to Chicago Illinois in the late 1800's. He had a sister named Mary Ann and a brother named William. - He married Ruth Featherstone and had a total of four sons: John, George, Arthur and Edward. Do you think any of this matches with your line?
