I am descended from Roderick and Flora. Jessie Mc Kenzie married Donald Cameron Ferguson and had my great great grandfather Allan Martin Ferguson who moved to Barcaldine and set up the wool scout. He married Agnes Mc Cabe who had Peter Ferguson, my grandfather. My father is Russell ferguson.
Jo Ferguson is my name. You can find me on ancestry. I would love to know more about these early colonists.
