Their are some interesting stories published about Patrick Cragun. So far I have determined they are word of mouth stories by one persons seeming credible to another person who wrote them and published them.
The stories are fun and interesting. However, in the world of documentation it would be best if we could find a journal entry or other documentation. If you can add facts or documentation, please do, for all our benefit.
#1: Was Patrick Cragun really in the Boston Tea Party?
#2: Was Patrick really arrested 4 times for coloniala civil disobedience?
#3: Was our dear granfather Patrick an indentured servant to a bootmaker in Dublin at the age of 12?
#4: Did the adventurous Patrick Cragun run away at age 15, persuade a boat captain for a ride to America, and dive out at Boston Harbor to save himself from being the Captains boy?
While you are here, can you help clear up his wifes name? There are questions on that.
Oh, also, little is for sure about his parents. Were the from England or Ireland? Did they come to Ireland as a part of the British taking Irish lands in a deal for peace?
Yes, there is much to learn about our grandfather.
We western United States Craguns could use some help from you who live or have journals or stories from those who lived in Kentucky, Indiana, and elsewhere east of here.
