• Notes

  Jury still out on this person. The descendants from him all work out. However I can't find a suitable birth for him. His parents, Samuel & Elizabeth marry in 1797 Discounting John, we have no births until Jane in 1804 I would expect some births before then, so I am letting this record stay. Searched for all 'Ferry' baptisms in Cumberland, 1801 +/- 5 yrs July 2024
