In my view that more or less sorts it. I knew nothing about your other connection with Drumadds (spelling varied). Good luck with the Fergusons, they are numerous, some in and around Ardtrea. Although its for a later period, the wills available on the PRONI website might show a few Fergusons who had property to bequeath in Tyrone and in the Coagh/Moneymore area. If you can narrow the area, there might well be a Ferguson gravestone, especially if, as the story says, the Ferguson connection were relatively wealthy. Evelyn

One of the Caulfield daughters married James B.

Never heard of a Lord Ferguson, or his castle in East Tyrone. Maybe it's an exaggerated version, where the reality might have been a wealthy farmer with a larger house than usual. Lots of Fergusons in that area of NE Tyrone.

Tyrone.The most recent letter repeats that Bettie Ferguson was the daughter of Lord Ferguson/Fergusson, that she lived in a castle, and that she eloped with the groomsman James Caulfield and that would be about 1785. Former letters said it was Samuel Caulfield. Anyway, this letter says that the castle was in the town of Dumas in Co. Tyrone.Does anyone have knowledge of this town and its castle?Thank youPeggy_______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: CoTyroneList@cotyroneireland.com Change Your Preferences: http://cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
