Descendants of John Ferguson Generation No. 1 1. JOHN2 FERGUSON (UNKNOWN1) was born in Scotland, and died in Franklin County Virginia on Pigg Creek in Virginia. Child of JOHN FERGUSON and ELIZABETH UNKNOWN is: 2. i. JAMES (SIR)3 FERGUSON, b. Abt. 1757, Franklin County Virginia; d. Abt. 1837, Wilkes County, North Carolina. Generation No. 2 2. JAMES (SIR)3 FERGUSON (JOHN2, UNKNOWN1) was born Abt. 1757 in Franklin County Virginia, and died Abt. 1837 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. He married ELIZABETH MARY SMITH Abt. 1773 in Franklin County Virginia1. Notes for JAMES (SIR) FERGUSON: So the story goes like most others , it begins with two brother came to America, or three brothers came to America......Thomas, Richard, John, James Ferguson or Farguson are the names that I have collected as the four brother that came from Scotland. William married Elizabeth Dula and moved to Tennessee.Richard married Verlinda Triplett and they had 10 children,.John Ferguson married Francis Triplett, and James married Elizabeth Smith. I am not sure about the first part of the information and that is what I am looking for. James Ferguson came from Franklin County, Virginia. He was born abt. 1750 and was the son of John Ferguson and Elizabeth Smith. They lived on Pigg River. The first four children were born in Virginia. He was called Sir James but no one knows why. Good question. I have never found a marriage record for a Ferguson and Smith. The first four children were born in Virginia and the rest were born in Wilkes County North Carolina. James Ferguson is listed in the Wilkes County Will book no. 4. Listed Nov. 1834. So he probley died about a month before. I also suspect that there could have been a second wife because he has two daughters listed as Elizabeth and one named Jane. James and Elizabeth Smith are the parent of my Elizabeth Ferguson who was born in 1785 Wilkes County, now Caldwell County. She married William Bradley in Wilkes County, 26 January 1812. Elizabeth’s brother would marry Mary Castoven and they would have a daughter named Elizabeth that would marry Thomas Maltby.
