Whately, Oct. 18, 1858. Rev. Prof. Tyler, D. D. - Dear Brother; You
have requested of me such reminiscences of my life and family, as may assist
you in preparing to preach the sermon at my funeral. I mentioned to you that,
so far as my father's family are concerned, I am the last of my race, and, so
far as regards my own family, I may be regarded as its founder in America.
Probably my descendants, for generations to come, will trace back their
ancestry to myself as the first of their race. For this reason I shall dwell
for a few moments on this view of my family descent, not as affording matter
for a sermon, but as an appendix in which my children will feel a personal
interest. My father was over fifty when I was born. I was his oldest son and,
having long been disappointed of an heir male, was, from my childhood, indulged
and allowed my own way, greatly to my own injury. My grandfather was from the
north of Scotland was one of the Duke of Marlborough's army, in the Scots'
Grays, through all Queen Anne's wars. When discharged from the army, he married
and settled in the south-east of Scotland, in Duns, Berwickshire, where I was
born on the 9th December 1788..... [John Ferguson. Oct. 28, 1858]
