General Notes: Husband - William Ferguson

---

Pigeon Creek, Washington Co, PA

He was one of the prominent citizens of Washington County, Pennsylvania, in his day. He came from near Chambersburg, Franklin County. In 1796 he purchased from Jacob and Michael Book [Bauch] a tract of land "Devises," in Somerset township, containing 296 acres, for which he paid 888 pounds sterling. He was married before coming west, and they brought with them several children. He was for many years a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church of Pigeon Creek-a man of fine personal appearance and more than average intelligence.
Toward the close of his life Mr. Ferguson entrusted his farm to the care of two sons, and removed to Williamsport (later Monongahela), to be under the care of daughters residing there.
