To Whom It May Concern:

I am trying to trace the ancestry of my 3rd Great-Grandmother Robinette FERGUSON. I estimate that she was born ca. 1830-33, since her first child was born in 1851. According to census records for her oldest son my 2nd Great-Grandfather James (Jim) FERGUSON, Sr. she was born in Kentucky or Tennessee. According to family tradition she lived in Madisonville, Kentucky. She was White, and she had four children Moses, James, Polk (twins), and Nicholas. The children were all last named FERGUSON. The children were fathered by John Clemons/Clements who was also born ca. 1825-33. He was born in either Kentucky or Georgia. He was a blacksmith, who was of Caucasian, Native American and African-American Ancestry. Robinette died in Madisonville, Hopkins Co., Kentucky about 1865-1867. James,Polk and Nicholas were sent to live with a Captain STULL until age 21.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!
