THE JOHN HILL FERGUSON SR. FAMILY
Mary Ann Ferguson Stewart

 

The following information on the Stewart family was generously shared by  Charlene Mundy.   She has done so much research on the John Hill Ferguson Sr family which is the line from which Mary Ann Ferguson Stewart comes.  She has written a book which is with a publisher right now. The genealogy part is being published by the Illinois State Genealogy Society Journal this month.   Ms Mundy has complete transcripts of both James and John's civil war journals which are a part of the book.  June 2012
