Oral tradition in the family dating back to 1754 says Jeremiah's father is Robert the son of Alexander FERGUSSON and Annie Laurie of Craigdarroch. Robert was a merchant and settled in Cork Ireland where he traveled back and fourth to London and Dumfries. I am in receipt of a letter he wrote to his brother James to look after one of his daughters while she was in Dumfries. The same tradition is held by a distant cousin I have recently found. We have the same GGG grandfather, David Ferguson buried in Black River NY.
