  Archibald Ferguson was a Scottish born farmer who raised five children with his wife Christie Anna McVean. Two of their sons, Peter and Archibald Jr., died as young adults. Their three surviving children lived normal lives. Archie's first son Duncan Ferguson, settled in North Dumfries, now Cambridge, Ontario about 1825. His younger surviving siblings, sister Jane and brother Alexander, remained in Caledonia until Jane's death in 1878. Alexander retired and moved with his grown family to Thayer, KS in 1880. Both Duncan and Alexander have living Ferguson descendants. Archibald Ferguson was baptized and probably born in 1770 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland and emigrated to New York during the 1790s.
