General Notes:
James moved from Muirkirk to Catrine, near Sorn, possibly working in the cotton mills, the village's largest employer. The Kilmarnock Standard in 1879 noted "the Fergusons belong to Catrine, where the connton mills were established at the time of Burns. With these works, the Fergusons were connected, thoroughly knowing the whole system of management."

(Mary Fisher was born in 1781 in Sorn, Ayr, Scotland, christened on 26 Jun 1781 in Sorn, Ayr, Scotland, died on 22 Mar 1869 in Catrine, Ayr, Scotland and was buried in 1869 in Sorn, Ayr, Scotland.)
