Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Matthew Ferguson of Newtown Limavady (Irish Stray)

These all sound like good leads.   I did find a reference on a page of first families of New Brunswick which suggested the Benbow connection was through Matthew's wife, Mary Kerr who was the granddaughter of Admiral Benbow through his daughter Mary Benbow and a Reverend Kerr.  I could find no evidence of Mary Kerr searching from Admiral Benbow's descendants so likely her connection may be through Limavady Benbows.  More information would be helpful.  Mary Kerr would have been born around 1767 as she died in 1867 at the age of 60.

The 1831 census Windes*** reference could be a grandson of Windefor.

There is a family bible in the provincial archives of New Brunswick which was given to Matthew  Ferguson by his father Windefor Ferguson and lists Matthew, Benbow and Robert Ferguson as sons of Windefor.   The names on the  Freeholders list appear to be all sons of Matthew.    The copies in the documents I received are very poor so the source is a transcription provided as a reading guide.

Hi,

I am looking for more information on Matthew Ferguson of Newtown Limavady (Irish Stray).   I am trying to trace information on his father Windefor Ferguson of Ireland.
