General Notes: Husband - David Ferguson


By profession he was a civil engineer, and located nearly all the lands in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, as well as considerable in adjoining counties. He was county surveyor of Clearfield County, nearly continuously during his life; was elected to and served two terms in the Legislature of the Commonwealth, and also served in many minor offices during his life, such as county commissioner, justice of the peace twenty years, school teacher, school director, besides holding several other township offices. After leaving the old home he settled on a farm later owned by Anthony Hile, in Lumber City; from there he moved, in 1838, onto a farm of 160 acres on the south side of the river, near where his brother John was already located, and assisted in developing that section of the country. The township was named in honor of him and his brother John.
