• Notes

  In 1861 Peter Ferguson is working as a servant at Braeleny in Callander in the household of Archibald Campbell. A John Stewart, age 48 (b 1813 in Killin) is working as a shepherd in the same household. In 1891 Peter and Margaret are found in Dalhouse District, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada surrounded by several other Ferguson families. It seems likely that they Peter and Margaret immigrated late and joined other members of their family. However as the other Ferguson lines are beyond the scope of this research project, verifying their connections will have to be left to Ferguson researchers.
