Isaac Craigen

This is a photo of the 1850 Census of Isaac Craigen Family. The 1820 Census spells it the same.

Data from this census: Esther not Esher
Both Isaac and Esther born in Virginia
Patrick age 23, Caleb age 21, Martha age 15, Esther age 13 confirms new family search data: all born in Indiana: Interestingly shows Caleb and Martha attending school that year.

Looking for Craigan records

Having found a census spelling Isaac the son of Patrick, with a spelling of C R A I G E N, I searched findagrave.com for any deaths with the same spelling. Many were cited, none who I am familier with.

Same no results on Billion Graves.com

Same no results on FamilySearch.org

Found 1850 and 1820 Census through Ancestry.com Both spelled CRAIGaN. The indexing doesn't match the image. The indexing shows it spelled CRAGAN.
