Hello,
From the Knox Co. Marriage Book "A":
FERGESON, Andrew to CRAIG, Margaret on October 28, 1803 by A. STEWART
FERGUSON, Mary to James JODGE on December 14, 1806 by A. STEWART
FERGUSON, Andrew to GREEN, Betsy on November 14, 1815 by Daniel DUFF
FERGUSON, Hannah to Edward CHESTNUT on August 20, 1819 by Thos. ROBINSON
I do not see the marriage for William FERGUSON that you were looking for. As you probably know, all the records are not complete and they may well have married there but just no record.
In the 1850 Knox Co. Fed. Census, there is:
Dwelling 522-533
FURGERSON, Andrew, 48, farmer, b. VA
. . Margaret, 44, b. TN
. . William W., 22, farmer, b. TN
. . Mariah, 20, b. TN
. . Peter, 17, farmer, b. TN
. . Samuel, 14, b. TN
. . Joseph, 9, b. TN
. . Enoch, 5, b. KY
. . John, 1, b. KY
Backwards to the 1810, there is:
FERGUSON, Andrew, male, bet. 26-45
. . Female, bet. 26-45
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, under 10
. . Female, under 10
. . Female, bet. 10-16
FERGUSON, Thomas, male, bet. 26-45
. . Female, bet. 26-45
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, under 10
. . Male, bet. 10-16
. . Male, bet. 10-16
. . Male, bet. 16-25
. . Male, bet. 16-25
. . Female, under 10
. . Female, bet. 10-16
. . Female, OVER 45 years
By 1820 there is only ONE FERGUSon listed: This is Agnes FERGUSON who is over 45 years who has 3 children under 10 years (males) and a female who is bet. 17-26.
This is also the time (1819) that Harlan Co. was formed and perhaps the FERGUSONS were transferred to that county. I do know this happened to my gg-grandfather, although he never actually moved.
I am not related to this family, therefore, don't have much else to share with you. I do not see William listed. I also don't see any FERGUSONs listed on the 1850 Harlan Co. Fed. Census. They may have shown on earlier census but I don't have those.
Good luck to you in your research.
