Notes |
- Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions shows:
Duncan FERGUSON, 1 JAN 1798, age 66, interred (at) Callander, their son Alexander merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 5 JAN 1815, age 56 (sic), Archibald, born JUN 1784, died age 18 months, Duncan born NOV 1786, died 1789, William merchant (in) Lancaster, died there 22 SEP 1819, age 30. (on pedestal) AS HL.
The age at death for Alexander being 56 is likely a transcription error for 36 in attempting to read an old gravestone. Otherwise, Alexander would have been born when his mother was only 8 years old.
