Sir John is of interest because he is mentioned in the context of Joseph Ferguson of Mullingar suggesting a relationship. The wording in Memorial 106 is ambigous by today's standards due to the lack of commas. Hence we cannot be sure if the reference is to a FERGUSON who is a Knight or to a John whose middle name is Ferguson and his surname is KNIGHT; this is one of the fundamental questions which must be answered regarding the man.
