Dear Linda, While searching for info on my Watts family, I came across a site with Biographical sketches of people from Ross Co., Ohio. It includes one on the Fergusen Family (#470-472). The website is http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Ross/RossBio468.htm If you don't have this site, then perhaps it may be of some help. Good luck.
