We descend from Thomas’ oldest son, George Dowell. George was born in 1730 in Prince William County, Va. and being the oldest son, eventually inherited his father’s land. He married Margaret in Bedford County, Va. George was the last Dowell who knew himself as a citizen of England. He died in 1772, leaving a very young and large family. A copy of his estate inventory is available at Bedford County courthouse. Such items as skillets, gun powder, etc. are listed.

http://www.sceee.com/genealogy/dowellfamily.htm 1706 - 1780 Elizabeth Ann Coomes 74 74 Elizabeth Sarah or Sarah Elizabeth 1705 - 1769 Thomas C. Dowell 64 64 Thomas Dowell was born around 1705 in Surry County, Virginia. By 1740, he lived in Prince William County, Va. Some researchers have his wife listed as "Elizabeth" or "Sarah." Thomas died in 1769 in Bedford County, Va. Bedford County would have been on the western frontier of the colonies at this time. The natural barrier formed by the Appalachian Mountains was not far away and for the time being slowed western migration. Hostile and friendly Indians were also in the area and frequented the famous Warrior’s Path.

http://www.sceee.com/genealogy/dowellfamily.htm Elizabeth 1683 - 1756 William Dowell 73 73 Came to Virginia from England on the ship Harpshine landing 28 May 1695

---

William Dowell was born in 1683 and came to America from England in 1695 as an indentured servant. Surry County, Virginia records indicate that William arrived aboard the ship, Harpshire, and was a servant to John Hancock. Often indentured servants apprenticed in a trade for a period of seven years to pay for their passage to the New World. William resided in Prince William County, Virginia after earning his freedom. In 1756, Thomas Dowell was awarded 267 pounds of tobacco "for keeping Old William." William probably died at this time and Thomas Dowell could have been his son. These details and a few more are sourced in Opal London Cox’s book, Kinfolk.

Crossed in the ship "Harpshire" as a 12 yr. old boy from England, May 28, 1695, he was bound to Wm. Edward of Surry Co., VA. who received 50 acres for a head count of 12, including William.

(FARGESON)

From Larry Ferguson III, , as cited by Gingram, in data file at http://data.ancestry.com, record #22255:

"John was probably brought to America as adeportee/indentured servant in 1667 (Patent Book 6, pg 45). He married Ann Stubbleson in 1683 (Book D7,pg 129). I'm still trying to prove John's arrival in America but circumstatial evidence supports the theory strongly."
-----------------------------------------------------------

From Myra Elliott, , rec'd 14 Ma y 2001:

"In the interest of sharing I have a piece of circumstantial evidence.

The only John Ferguson/Farguson listed in the Scots Origins in Scotland is one John Ferguson born 23 March 16 49 to John Ferguson and his wife Janet Turnbul in Gargunnock Scotland. There is not another listed until 1653. I am hopeful that this is our guy but still researching. On
another stepback shows us John Ferguson born 6 Sept 1630 to Alexander Ferguson and his wife Beiggis Miller in Gargunnock Scotland I can't find Gargunnock on the maps anywhere. I have sent for several books on interlibrary loan for Indentured servants/deportees from Scotland, hoping to find his arrival.

While sources are not included in this report, almost all of the data(dates, places, notes, etc.)in this data file are documented. Further, if you see (!) or (?), the source will contain additional research information.

John Markham Ferguson Jr states John was probably brought to America as a deportee/indentured servant in 1667 (Patent Book 6, pg 45). marriedAnn Stubbleson in 1683 (Book D7, pg 129)

Summary of John Markham Ferguson Jrs theory: He claims (at least to hissatisfaction) to have discovered our immigrant ancestor, John (and hisbrother James), who arrived on a ship (Phoenix of Leith) out of Leith,port of Edinburgh, Scotland in May 1666. James Farguson (sp), age ca 14, was indentured servant to Otho Thorpe. It seems that the period ofservitude at that time was 10 years to repay the cost of transportation.If the "servant" completed the term, he was to be given 40 acres and a new suit of clothes. If he was released early, he would receive nothing.
John was allegedly released after 9 years with nothing.

John Ferguson Sr was imprisoned in Edinburgh Tolbooth at age 14 yrs. The Edinburgh, Scotland, prison was in Tolbooth(Tolbuith). In May 1666, he sailed on the Phoenix of Leith out of Leith, port of Edinburgh, Scotland. He came to Virginia as an indentured servant in 1666 on the
ship Phoenix of Leith. This is based on the following information:

1. The Edinburgh, Scotland, prison was in Tolbooth(tolbuith), and the original Scottish records below are for the Tolbooth.

It has been told through family oral histories that John Ferguson's father was King Fargus. There is suppose to be a museum in Edinburgh, Scotland that is dedicated to the Ferguson Clan. (From Ancestry file)
John Ferguson Sr. married Ann Stubbleson (of Essex County, Virginia) the original immigrant from Scotland.
In an article by John Markham Ferguson Jr, with a letter from David Dobson (Scottish Writer) research is done that compares a seventeenth
century ships passenger list against Virginia headright lists of the same time period. Analysis is that John Ferguson of Essex County,
Virginia sailed in May 1666 on the ship Phoenix of Leith out of Leith, port of Edinburgh, Scotland and landed in York County, Virginia before
December 11, 1666. There was a James Ferguson who was born ca. 1652 also on this ship. Possibly Johns brother, cousin,?.

B. There is also other research done through Scots Origins that lists John Ferguson Sr of Essex County, Viriginia parents and grandparents as
follows:

10th GGP Alexander Ferguson married Beiggis Miller (Gargunnock, Stirling, Scotland)

9th GGP John Ferguson married Janet Turnbul (Gargunnock, Stirling, Scotland)
