Author: Goodspeed (1884)

   JAMES FERGUSON, a native of "Bonny Scotland," was born in 1819, and when four
years old his parents, William and Christina (Cullen) Ferguson, left the land of
his birth, crossed the Atlantic to New York, and became residents of the United
States. He received only a common school education, and early in life worked in
woolen mills for a number of years, but since coming to Greene County, Ind., in
1850, he has been engaged in farming. Mr. Ferguson married Miss Margaret Baker
in 1847, and ten children have been the fruit of their union—Barbara A., William
B., James C, John, Benjamin F., Catharine, Christina, Mary E., George W. and
Ida. He is an enterprising and industrious citizen, owns a good farm of 180
acres, is a Republican in politics, and has served his township two terms each
as Justice of the Peace and Trustee.
