Aka: FARGUSON. Author: susan smith Date: 29 Apr 2002 on Ancestry msg bd: `Cherry Walk' This property originally was owned by John Ferguson of Scotland. (His wife was Ann Stubbleson; he is believed to have arrived here in the 1660s as an indentured servant);

"Old Homes of Essex County, Virginia," (1957) says this about Cherry Walk, once Cherry Row: Cherry Walk, situated between Millers Tavern and Dunbrooke, has been a Broaddus home for over one hundred years. It is a Colonial site, and it was occupied prior to 1700. In 1739 James Farguson sold the place to John Croxton, Sr., for the sum of "7000 pounds of good tobacco and cask." He left the place to his son, John Croxton, Jr., who married Mary Anne Haile he, in turn, willed it to his oldest son, Carter, of Revolutionary fame whose remains now rest in the old burying ground back of the garden. This Carter requested that no stone or tablet mark his grave, as he wished his work in life to be his earthly monument. It was he who built the present house in 1781.

The house is in a good state of preservation. It is built of brick in Queen Anne style, with Dutch roof, cypress shingles on the lowest portion, and dormer windows both front and back. The house contains ten rooms, three porches and a high basement which is still used as a dining room. There is a large chimney at each end of the house. The fireplaces within have tall fluted mantels. There is a hall through the center with double Cross and Bible doors at each end.The old bar fastening is still used. The first floor windows contain eighteen panes of glass with sash frames put together with wooden pegs. Even the big kitchen is in good repair. In it is the old crane with pot hooks and pots, waiting from year to year for "hog killing" time.

Alexander Woodford Broaddus of Caroline County came to live at Cherry Walk in 1854. His first wife was Fanny Ellen, daughter of Carter Croxton. In 1859, he married Sally Haile, a daughter of Captain R.G. Haile of Beaver's Hill. They reared a large family at Cherry Walk. He was a successful farmer and added many acres to his estate. he was county treasurer for a number of years and died in office in 1883.

Fiser, Mary Ferguson, Wichita, Kansas, ] John Ferguson and his children spelled their names several ways, even within the same document, as evidenced by the will abstracted below. While Fargisson, or Fargeson are probably the spellings they used most, I have chosen to list them with the spelling "Ferguson" which their decendants adopted (during the 2nd or 3rd generation from John Ferguson, Sr.)

From Larry Ferguson III: "John was probably brought to America as a deportee/indentured servant in 1667 (Patent Book 6, pg 45). He married Ann Stubbleson in 1683 (Book D7, pg 129)...
Still trying to prove John's arrival in America but circumstantial evidence supports the theory strongly. " [email protected]

From Jesse Ferguson:
1. Name is spelled Fargeson in the records of Old Rappahannock County, VA. where the marriage is recorded under the date 1682. Ann is spelled Anne in this same record.

2. In the Order Book for Old Rappahannock County on page 16 is an order under the date of 2 April 1684 for John Fargeson to be paid by the County Court for services rendered.
