Number of Children 17 June 1817

Three children living in the household in June 1817: one male over 12, one female over 12, one female under 12. None is named in the return. Only one son, Stephen (b. 1808), is so far recorded in this tree - so at least two daughters of John Ferguson are unrecorded, and the tally does not obviously accommodate Stephen himself, who was 9.
