It is interesting that the IGI research in Dad's file there is another Abraham Ferrier shows up, married to Charlotte McGlashan. Their children are born in a simultaneous time frame to Abraham and Christina. I suspect that Alexander Ferrier;s father, might have had a brother who named a son Abraham also. The children of Abraham and Charlotte born at Kirkintilloch, Dumbarton were:
John or Abraham 28 Dec 1805,
Janet 5 mar 1808
Mary 24 Aug 1810,
John 15 Sep 1812,

Died:
On the morning of our communion Sabbath, in December, when I went over to the church I was informed that Ab Ferrier, the evening before, going home from Perth drunk, had been killed by his wagon running over him. The night was very cold, and the road rough, and there being no box to the wagon, his furious driving threw him off, and the wheel passing over his neck killed him on the spot. I had often tried to induce this man to become sober, but without effect. He even told me one day, after Mr. Wilson came here, that he could now take a glass in spite of me.

Could this be his father?
And Cardross has links to three men: Colin Campbell of Colgrain, Alexander Ferrier who built Bloomhill House, and Charles Edmonstone of Cardross Park.

Strathleven House, which is now home to the Strathleven Regeneration Community Interest Company (SRCI), is linked to James Ewing (1775-1853), a slave owner, West Indian merchant, former MP and once Lord Provost of Glasgow.
