According to extract of marriage of John Ferguson & Martha Curry his father was a DONALD Ferguson but IF it has been misread and father was DANIEL then everything makes sense (not sure what is going on with 2nd extract- LDS error?)-Marriage- https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FGNR-VXQ

Aghadowey thank you. 

I thought in view of the lack of links back that this was a totally new set of people .......it would have been useful for the OP to have summarised including that the family came from Gortnessy etc.

I am interested personally in this from the point of the Rev'd and farmer Buchanan that are mentioned as executors etc  bye the bye. My grandmother from Shanreagh had this name either Buchanan, Buchan, Bamingham, Birmingham Bannigan as her second name here in NZ.  But this is another story and work for me. 

Thanks for your help for Kristen2344.

I posted to this thread because I am certain they came from Londonderry (Gortnessy specifically).  Daniel Ferguson died in Gortnessy 17 Sep 1862.  He (as well as Agnes and her siblings  John, Hannah, Andrew and Jane are mentioned previously in this thread, which is how I landed here.  I am not sure how they all tied into James.

In view of the abundance of info on this thread and latterly, and as well as earlier from Aghadowey could you let us know  exactly what additional info you are seeking for Daniel and Hannah? 

The ability to double on info by researchers is greater with this amount of info around.

Aghadowey has a wide knowledge of this area and her info is to be relied on, in my view. 

ETA See below there is a thread specifically for Daniel and Hannah.  The link is below.

There is a separate thread for the work that Kristen2344 is doing to research the Daniel Ferguson/Hannah Hassan links to her family ie Agnes Ferguson Sandersfield. 

This is the link.
