For John Ferguson

"1 adult male and 1 adult female"

The unnamed wife of family 1267 was living and resident in Drummond Township, Lanark County, in June 1817 - ten years after the 1807 New Brunswick marriage. The return does not name her. She is therefore a real person to search for in the 104th Regiment's married-establishment returns and in Upper Canada land petitions, not merely an inference from the existence of a son.
