Boone County Indiana

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.
