Hi, It has been a while since I asked if everyone has any information on the Early Fergusons of Pittsylvania. I spent the day looking at the Personal Tax Lists from 1782-1812 I am looking for information on the following Fergusons. Robert Ferguson Veteran of the Revolution born 1761 died 1850 Pittsylvania.

Surnames: Craft Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AC.2ACE/1457 Message Board Post: Hello, I am looking for various members of the Craft family in Pittsylvania County. My great grandmother was named Orney Craft, born in 1901 to Alexander Craft and Betty Walker craft. The few searches that I performed found a few Alexander Crafts in Callands VA, who were both black and mulatto (my great grandparents were both mulatto), but the dates and ages found on the census would make them very old when they had my great grandma. Does anyone know of any Crafts in the area, who possibly owned land as well? Thanks! I can be reached at [email protected]

Due to oppression the family was on route to America and came to New York first and moved from there to Virginia where they settled near the Peaks of Ottar in Bedford County and finally moved to Pittsylvania County on Bannister River. He married Mildred Payne, in 1776. She was born 1758 and died 12 March,1832. He was remarkable for his longevity. living to be one hundred three years old, and physical manhood. On one occasion he was walking in the woods where he was encountered by a bear,and, having no weapon with which to defend himself, he picked up a pine knot and killed the bear through his extraordinary human strength. He commenced life a poor boy,but,through economy and safe dealing, accumulated wealth. He bought a calf,traded it for a colt,which he placed on a piece of land and continued thus to make small deals until he became a large land owner and owned many slaves. He was accustomed to relate incidents of his life to his children. He clearly remembered seeing the horse that Braddock, the British General, rode on when he was killed at the famous Braddock's defeat in the year 1775, which was an event in history he never forgot. Another, a strolling fortune-teller warned his mother when he was a babe that he, her child, would not live to be seven years, but he lived,not only seven,but a period of time covering more than thirty-three years above that allotted by the Psalmist. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you can add, subtract, delete, change any of the above data please advise.
