HARRISON, HOOD, RAGAN, REAGAN posted by Vickie Elam White on Sunday, July 6, 1997

RAGAN(or REAGAN) & HARRISON -- Looking for information on children of Jeremiah RAGAN and Abigail HARRISON, especially his daughter Abigail b ca 1778 in Rockingham Co. VA. I have recently received some information that it was this Abigail RAGAN who married Nathaniel HOOD, son of Robert HOOD, in 1795 in Greene Co. TN. I do know that Jeremiah and his family moved to Washington Co. TN sometime after the Rev War, so it sounds plausible. I also know that there was a HOOD family living in the Rockingham Co. - Augusta Co. area in the mid 1700s, so perhaps that is how the RAGANs and HOODs became acquainted. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

CRAIG posted by Lin Cannell on Saturday, July 26, 1997

Am researching a book on William CRAIG, born 1807 Greenbrier County, VA, died 1869 Washington Territory. He left Virginia for the far west and became a fur trapper. He may have attended military school as a boy. Does anyone know of a military academy in Augusta Co. during the period 1812-1828? I'm almost sure William CRAIG comes from the Craig family in Augusta County but so far am unable to connect to his parents.
