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.
