With my using my 43 different spellings of Cragun form I was tediously but fairly quickly able to search this website, as I do others, for variations of the name Cragun. Most of the time I search using the first initial and the last name. I entered C for Caleb and the spellings, using 1750 as a target date. Patrick was supposedly born in 1740, so I used a year within 10. The spelling Creagh is interesting, I also had a positive response when using that spelling.
On 10 of those versions they say they have records for those spellings. You get 10 free page results then have to pay.
I used 1 of those pages and the photo below is the result for C Cregon. Note the results came up Creagh,. This is helpful. It names counties I have searched: Limerick and Cork. Other research suggested I look in Limerick.
Being cheap, I didn't buy credits to view the documents. I am more likely to spend money when I have an idea these are relevant.
In the meantime, they are clues.
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.
