John FERGUSON and Mary GILL

The DNA of descendants of John FERGUSON and Mary GILL falls with Haplogroup: R1b - Clade: Scotland to Virginia and they are distinguished from other FERGUSON within the clade by DYS385a=12.

R4. John FERGUSON

Father: Moses FERGUSON b.~ 1707, Henrico Co., VA
Mother: Martha (perhaps WOMACK)
Born: about 1723-1726, Henrico Co., VA
Married: Mary Ann GILL
Will: Proved 25 Sep 1786 Bedford, VA

Descendants According to Christie Ferguson Cirone

Other genealogies can be found for son John but the one given here is consistent with the DNA results. The DNA results are not proof that this descendancy is correct but rather evidence of same. It has to be admitted that there are other possibilities such as Capt John being a nephew of John FERGUSON and Mary GILL as that too would have been consistent with the DNA results. Only if someone from one of the conflicting lines were to DNA test and found to be in a different clade could they be ruled out.
