April 29, 2012:Boone County Indiana is where Patrick Cragun died. It seems he owned property there but was poor enough he didn't have to pay property taxes.
Two of his chldren died in Indiana: Lydia Cragun before 1820 per New Family Search and Isaac Cragun who died in 1855 in Harrison, Cass, Indiana. Isaac had 6 children all in Indiana.
This is the beginning of my research on Indiana with the exception of I found the Boone County Historical Society in the Cragun House once owned by Strange Nathaniel Cragun. I posted this article about the Cragun house on my family blog, click here for that.
This link, click here, takes you to the Cragun Organization website. details on the Patrick family, and some detail about his children are here.
Are you related to Patrick Cragun, the boy who left Ireland in the mid 1700's? The one who is said to have been a part of the Boston Tea Party? If so, this blog's for you. I am going to make it easy for us to work together on solving the many puzzles unknown about Patrick and his many descendants. In early August I will be posting a research plan which can guide us to be effective, even more effective together. I believe once I have that document posted you will see what I mean.
