Searching Through Books In the Sale Lake City Family History Libraries

The Salt Lake City Family History Library has from 10 to 30 historical books and reference books on the areas Patrick Cragun is believed to have lived: Boone County Indiana, Sullivan Tennessee, and Russell County Virginia.

It has been said he was arrested 4 times for civil disobedience in Virginia. Was it there? I see no records of his being there, as incomplete as the books coverages is.

Cass County was also referenced in those available books. I need to review them soon. I found a property even in Sullivan County using the name Patrick Craguner and a Patrick Cragon reference for both the purchase and sale of land in Sullivan County, a few miles from Booher Creek, near Booher Creek. The purchase was in 1784 and the sale in 1812, 164 acres. In 1806 he was exempt from taxes as Patrick Cragun due to age and infirmity, that was in Russell County, Virginia - 30 miles north of Indian Creek.

For those interested outside of Patrick there was a book, "The Cragun and Related Families in Boone County Indiana 1835 - 1988. The largest Cragun notation was to the local eduator and newspaper owner Strange Nathaniel Cragun, owner of The Cragun House.
