I got this info from the book "Captain Bill, Book 3 - A Genealogy of the Catawba River Valley of SC " by Robert J. Stevens. The book covers the Edwards, Culp's & McFadden's of Chester-York-Lancaster Counties of SC. Abram Ferguson b.1788 d. 19 Nov 1832 is the son of James Ferguson & Agnes Adams. Abram married Elizabeth Edwards who was born 28 Jul 1790 in Edgecombe Co, NC & died 23 Apr 1847 in Chester Co., SC. I show 11 children born to this couple. One daughter Martha Matilda Ferguson married Benjamin Culp. I don't have birth dates on all the children so they are not listed in birth order. All this info came from the above book, I have not done any research on this line.
