I am descended from Richard Ferguson and Verlinda Triplett of Wilkes County, NC. Richard was born on March 1, 1765 and died May 24, 1854. Verlinda Triplett Ferguson, daughter of William Triplett and Eleanor Harbin, was born in 1775. She died between 1830 and 1840. They were married in Wilkes County about 1789.

Angie, I looked through my Wilkes resources and didn't find anything about your Edward Ferguson in that time frame. Of course, the Heritage Book I is small print, is a large book and it is possible I overlooked something. I did note something in the Heritage Book. One article mentioned that the Feguson Books were in the Wilkes Co. Public Library. I was there just after Thanksgiving but of course, wasn't looking for info on 'Fergusons so I can't confirm that bit of info. If you ever do go to Wilkes, may I recommend that you also check out the Wilkes Co. Community College library? They have a very nice genealogy section. And their people are ourstanding in their assistance, guiding one to specific resources that go along with the surname for whom you are searching. If they have it, they will help you find it! .
