Alan,
The Fergusson of the Kilkerran line are I1a whereas as you point out
others in the area are I1c aka I1b2a1. We've not been able to locate a
definitive descendant of the Craigdarroch line.

Regarding comparisons to other surnames, I have looked for DNA matches
to names mentioned in the various Fergusson histories but can nothing
definitive about the I1c. Fergus, the prince of Galloway, is thought
to be an important figure in our history. Leo B. McDowell's pedigree
shows that he is a direct descendant of Fergus and he is R1b1c7
(Ysearch ID: NAZGR). The closest any Ferguson comes to NAZGR is a
genetic distance of 10 for 67 markers for an estimated TMRCA of 1080
years.
