Ferguson Surname

Hi, I am trying to research my mother's Ferguson line.  Her father was George Marcus Lafayette "Lathe" Ferguson (1876-1945) and his father was Andrew Jackson Ferguson (Abt. 1833-?).  That is as far back as I can go with any proof. Andrew was first married to a Sela/Sealy (surname unknown) and they had four sons & a daughter.  She died & he married Elizabeth Redden.  They had my grandfather & a daughter.  Apparently he died & Elizabeth took the two children & moved to Robertson County Texas where the family still is today.

I know he is related to a William Ferguson born in Kershaw Co., SC but not sure how.  I think he may be his father but not sure.  He lived in Louisiana for awhile.  William married Martha Ann Daniel/McDaniel on 30 Sep 1813 in Amite Co. MS. I think I found him in the 1830 Census in Copiah County, MS.  In 1840, 1850 & 1860 he was in Choctaw County MS.  I have not found him after that.  Other researcher say his father was a John Ferguson & that line goes back to a John Ferguson, born about 1673 in Scotland, and was married to a Mary Rudd.  I would appreciate any help anyone can give me on my Andrew or on William's line.  Check out my Ferguson page at:

Sorry, Tom, I don't actually have a Coleman and I'm in the UK. Hopefully one of you compatriots can now pick this up

Tom, it might be helpful if you could at least give a country and approximate date range

Hi, I am researching my gr gr grandmother. Her name was:
Mary Frances Crenshaw b. 25 Oct 1854 AR d.06 Jun 1899 OK.
On the 1860 Scott Co.,AR census she is listed in the hld of a James M. Furguson family. This leads me to think her parents may have died between 1854 & 1860. On the 1870 Scott Co.,AR census she is married to Isaac John Allen Warford. Living with them was a female listed as "J" Crenshaw. She was said to be 1/4-1/2 Cherokee. But, had no roll card. Her heritage was a hush, hush topic. I am trying to document her parents and perhaps her sister ("J").

I descend from Patrick Henry Ferguson who was born in 1845 and was the son of Dr. Green Ferguson of Upson County, GA. I am quite sure Green's parents were Joseph Ferguson and Emily Dubose. Joseph came to Georgia from South Carolina. Would love any information you might have on this family. Thanks

Looking for Fergusons in Lancaster Co. PA John and Mary Ferguson and children Samuel, Abraham and John. There may be more. These people lived in West Hempfield Twp. Samuel Ferguson and wife Joanna and their children Samuel, Ada, Abraham and Clayton are buried in Mountville.
