Notes
He was listed on two documents as Robert Ferguson rather than William Ferguson, but these records were written with informants' information given after his death and those informants may not have known the correct name, or he may have gone by the name Robert at times since there are so many Williams in this family. Regardless, there is some question about his real first name.
