Notes for Alexander (John) Brown FERGUSON
From: DCJWalker@aol.com
Is your Alexander Ferguson the one who immigrated from Scotland with his wife Jane Leitch (daughter of Archibald Leitch) and their first two children Anne and James about 1842? My Alexander and Jane had two more children after they settled in the U.S. (First in New York for a brief period and then in Illinois.) The children born in the U.S. were named Jane and George, I believe. Alexander was an engineer or draftsman and worked on the Monitor (the iron-clad Civil War vessel). My uncle has a set of the original plans that has been passed down on that side of the family and my mother has a letter written by James during the Civil War to his sister Anne in which he writes to tell his father that he had seen the Merimack. James died before the letter reached his family. If it is the same Alexander and Jane Leitch Ferguson, I do have some information that goes back a little farther.
