Patrick Cragun: Find A Grave

The Following is on Find A Grave. The provider of this monument is Bart Fowers Cragun. I tried to reach him by email about a week ago and haven't heard back from him yet. Bart seems to be quite prolific in Find A Grave, which is noble of him.

I will post here only a portion of what Bart has posted and then a link to the memorial and full text. Below is the other links of family members of Patrick, also on Find A Grave.

Birth:  1745, Ireland Death:  unknown Whitestown Boone County Indiana, USA Versions of Patrick Cragun's migration to America vary. The first one, by Homer McCarty, was forwarded by letter 25 July 1962, by LUCY C. FOULGER (Mrs. WALTON E. FOULGER), to JEAN (CRAGUN) TOMBAUGH of Rochester, Ind.: "In Ireland Patrick Cragun's parents bound him out to a saddler for a number of years to learn the trade. Hearing much of that wonderful America to which so many people were going, Pat became obsessed with the desire to go there too. Without saying anything to his parents or his boss, he left the work bench and made his way to the sea. Fortunately a ship ready to sail for America lay anchored in the harbor.
