Rev William Ferguson (1804-1884)
Rev William was a Circuit Rider with the United Brethren Church. He and his wife Catherine (Campbell) migrated from their home in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, to various communities in Ohio, eventually settling and retiring in Saybrook, McLean County, Illinois. Most of their seven adult children settled in these areas while one ventured to the far West frontier (marrying an Indian maiden and permanently residing on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington) and another as an early settler in Kansas. Included herein are biographical sketches for the subject persons and their adult children, a four-generation compilation of their known descendants, and indexes of their known descendants and their known spouses.
