The Families of Byce Ferguson with Delilah Barker and Delilah Craiger
Byce Ferguson
Byce was from Montgomery County(I think Broadalbin) and moved to Galen, Wayne County with his parents. He married Delilah Barker there(we don't know what happened to her) and then married Delilah Craiger. Byce moved to Michigan through Ohio in the 1830s. We think he was named after his mother's maiden name. His name has spelled Boice and Boyce in different documents.
