FERGUSON, SHANKS
I am researching information on a FERGUSON family who lived in Montgomery County. Joseph P. FEGUSON was born around July 26, 1829 in Montgomery County to Price FERGUSON (b. 1802) and Mary Shanks FERGUSON. Price was a farmer in the county, and the family likely had another daughter named Elizabeth, born around 1828. According to my information, both Price and Mary died on the same day, 3 weeks after the birth of their son, Joseph, around August of 1829. One source said Price and Mary died in an accident in Tippacanoe. Joseph was raised by his grandfather, Aaron FERGUSON (1778-1847) in Montgomery County and then later lived with various uncles and moved to Iowa. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family? I do have the names of Aaron FERGUSON's other sons and daughters. Any information would be helpful. My address is: Tami Stallard, 10259-A Lakeridge Square Ct., Ashland, VA 23005
