Dulcius Ex Asperis

Colonel Isaac Ferguson entered the Revolutionary War as a second lieutenant and served over five years, coming out a colonel. Major Thomas Ferguson, his father, was a captain the old French and Indian war, and at Braddock's defeat, July 9, 1756, had three bullet holes in his clothes, his powder horn shot to pieces and his hair badly singed and was also under Washington at the Great Meadows when attacked by the French and Indians. Thomas was an early settler on the Monongahela River, eighteen miles above Ft. Duquesne, the first lodgment west of the Alleghenies, and there his sons, Isaac and Henry were born.
