## Timeline
- 1774 — **Born** at North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland
- FROM 1811 TO 1817 — **Military Service** — Sergeant, 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot. Credited with 6 years 31 days' service at 17 June 1817, implying enlistment about May 1811, when the regiment was garrisoned in New Brunswick. Recorded as born in Scotland.
- 17 JUN 1817 — **Property** at Drummond Township, Lanark County, Upper Canada — Located as a disbanded sergeant of the 104th Regiment in the Perth Military Settlement: 25 acres of lot 3, Concession 10, Drummond Township (in place of NE half lot 12, C10, which passed to Lieut. Cummings of the same regiment). Two further locations on 31 July 1817: Lansdowne C3 SW23 and Drummond C12 NE4. Settling duties performed.
- 17 JUN 1817 — **Number of Children** — 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.
- 19 JAN 1819 — **Property** at Drummond Township, Lanark County, Upper Canada — Regranted the north-east half of lot 12, Concession 10, Drummond Township, the location originally held by Lieut. Cummings of the 104th Regiment; exchanged out of SW 11, Concession 8, of the same township, that lot being reported bad.
- 20 NOV 1848 — **Died** at Bishops Mills, Ontario, Canada
- **Buried** at Bishops Mills Cemetery
