Find a Grave — Bishops Mills Cemetery, memorial 102381278 (George Ferguson) · Bishops Mills, Ontario, Canada · other

For John Ferguson (1774–1848)

"George Ferguson", b. 1783, d. 20 Nov 1848, Bishops Mills Cemetery, plot N21. Inscription: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord."

UNRESOLVED CONFLICT — flagged for future research, not evidence for John's own record. This Find a Grave memorial is for a different named man (George, not John Ferguson) who died on the same day and lies in the same small cemetery. John Ferguson #3014's death and burial data carry no citation of their own (uncited GEDCOM import), and no John Ferguson appears anywhere in this cemetery's own Find a Grave listing. Either two men genuinely died on 20 Nov 1848 in this one village, or #3014's death/burial were copied from this memorial with the name silently changed. Leave the recorded date and place as-is until an Ontario death registration or an actual photographed headstone settles it. Owner confirmed 2026-08-31: no data change to make yet, flag only.

NEW EVIDENCE for the flagged conflict (see citation 50304). George Ferguson's own memorial page (source 1563, already cited on this conflict) carries a Family Members block naming a wife and son, both with their own memorials at this cemetery (102381290, 102381299), each of which reciprocally names George as spouse/parent. George is therefore a real, independently-documented, distinct man with his own family — not a bare, possibly-mistaken stub — which reinforces rather than resolves the suspicion that #3014's death/burial were copied from this memorial with the name changed. Still no direct record (church burial register, newspaper, probate) has been found either confirming John's presence at Bishops Mills or locating his actual grave in Lanark County. Owner ruling 2026-08-31 stands: flag only, no date/place change.
