Ferguson, Fergus, D.D., second son of the Rev. Fergus Ferguson, of Bellshill, near Glasgow, and afterwards of Aberdeen, was born at Glasgow, September 6, 1824, and educated at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated B.A. 1845 and M.A. 1858.

He received the degree of D.D. in 1876, from Cumberland University, U.S. His two hymns appeared in The Daystar, the magazine of the Evangelical Union, and were contributed to the Evangelical Hymn-book of 1856, and the Evangelical Union Hymnal of 1878, he having been a member of both committees of compilation.
