Notes: I am not certain whether James Ferguson Sr. or James Jr. married Marion McNeill. Marion's father, Turquill McNeill, was an Argyll Colonist and was about 40 or 50 years of age by the time Marion was born in the 1760s. the earliest date I have so far for James Sr. is 1771; that is the date of James's land grant near Beaverdam Creek in old north Robeson, now Hoke County, NC. It is possible James Sr. may have come from Cumberland County.
