CRAGAN CRAGGEN CRAGIN CRAGON CRAGUN CRAIGEN

(An Introduction to the Family of Cragun)

        Tradition in the family of Jean (Cragun) Tombaugh, tells that our ancestor  was originally of Scotland and the name was McCRAGUN. Also, that Caleb Cragun moved from England to Ireland where he married and had children, one of whom was a son PATRICK, who came to America about the time of the Revolutionary War.[1], [2]. So, right or wrong, we will begin with the Craguns of Scotland.

        "CRAIGEN - Local. In 1272 the church of Cragyn (now Craigie) in Kyle was  confirmed to the Monks of Paisley by THOMAS de CRAGYN son and heir of JOHN HOSE,  who had assumed his surname from his lands (RMP., p.232). He may be the THOMAS  de CREGEYN del counte de ARC who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain 11, p.206). ADE CRAGYNE who held a tenement of Irvine 1477 (Irvine, 1, p.149) most probably derived his name from the same source. A family of this name in New Pitsligo village were remarkable for their longevity. (AEI., p.47) CHRISTAIN CRAIGANE was liferenter of Readfurd, 1630 (LIM., p.110) PATRICK CRAIGEN in Burnebray of Gorthie, 1670 (Dunblane) and ROBERT CRAIGIN in the Parish of Sumbennan, 1716 (SCM., IV, p.171). WM CRAIGEN was a member of the Huntley Volunteers, 1798 (Well p.19) (a history of the volunteer movement in Strathbogie from 1798-1808) and JOHN W. CRAIGEN from King Edward served in the first Great War (Turriff) of Craigie.[3]

        LETTER. Written by Charles Hartwell Cragun, A.M.M.D., 16 Feb 1862, at Georgetown, D.C. Copy made by Ella M. Cragun wife of Edmund Cragun, in 1935, and made available to Jean Cragun Tombaugh (Rochester, Ind.) by Eva Cragun Heiner  of Salt Lake City, in August 1964.[4]

"Tradition in all branches of this family points to Scotland as the original home of its head. In my father's family it was handed down by him that three brothers had originally come to this country, one of them settled in Maine, one went to the south and the third settled at Acton, Mass. I have always had a curiosity to learn our early and true history and on a visit north in 1857, I visited my cousin FRANCIS KIMBALL CRAGIN, who resides in Woburn, Mass., and there saw the result of his investigation, which was a very complete genealogy of his branch of the family from its founder, the original and only JOHN CRAGIN, who had settled and died in that town just about two centuries ago. Availing myself of his labors, I proceeded to enlarge upon the facts thus gathered, and, by writing to every possible source of information, I have been enabled to form with a few exceptions, a complete genealogy of every descendant of this original John Cragin.

"These results show that the family originated in the south of Scotland where JOHN was born about 1634. When about 16 he was pressed into the services of Charles who was terribly defeated by Cromwell in the battle of Dunbar, 5 Sept 1650, where he (John) was captured, and exported in the year 1652 as a prisoner of war with 270 other prisoners in the ship "John & Sarah," Capt. John Green, Master (see Vol.1, No.4, for Oct.1847, of the New England Historical & Gen. Register, for the list of the passengers, where his name appears as "JOHN CRAGON"), arrived at Charleston, Mass., (their?) labor was sold to defray expenses, they working three days for their masters to pay for their houses and land and money expended for them, and the other three days for themselves. Tradition says that JOHN was attacked with 'smallpox' on board ship, and would have been thrown overboard but for the earnest interference of an English woman named SARAH DAWES, who thus saved his life, and to whom he was afterwards married.

"There are a few CRAGINS in the city of New York, who are not his descendants, but have come recently from the north of Ireland and they write me that their ancestors came originally into Ireland from the south of Scotland. They are Protestants.

"Furthermore, there is an old Virginia family now in Hampshire Co., but originally from Hardy Co., who spell their name CRAIGEN, and whose ancestors originated in Scotland, but left there about a century later than John. Very probably all these sprang from the same neighborhood in Scotland.

"The following letter from the present head of this Virginia family will be read with interest. It is very curious that he speaks of his grandfather fighting loyally for Charles, being captured and sent to this country about the same time that JOHN CRAGIN settled in Acton. The writer's son is a young physician in Washington and has decided Cragin features. In this letter, MR. JACOB J. CRAIGEN speaks of ROBERT CRAIGEN, his grandfather, who had but two children, ROBERT and JOHN. John Craigen his father, was for some years High Sheriff of Hardy Co., and had but two sons, JACOB L. and GEORGE SEE (Craigen). The latter had no sons, left on a tour to Ohio and other western states about 1825, and never returned, being probably dead. Mr. Jacob J. Craigen has two sons, Dr. WM. J. of Washington City, and JOHN, a younger brother at home. Besides these two sons he has, I think, six daughters.

                                      'Green Spring Run, Hampshire Co., Va.

               'Dr. C. H. Cragin:

           'Dear Sir: I received yours of the 7th inst., and am compelled to say my knowledge of my father's connections is very small. My grandfather died before I was born, and my father before I was old enough to take any interest in the matter. My mother said my grandfather was taken in some battle fighting (I judge for Charles Edward of Scotland, styled by English History as the Pretender) and sent to America. He first settled in Maryland, somewhere on or near the Patuxent, afterwards moved to Winchester, in Virginia. His name was ROBERT, he left several brothers in Scotland, and I think he was not aware of any of them ever coming to this country. My mother also said he had a large number of letters he had received from his friends, which he and also my father kept carefully locked in a chest. But sometime after my father's death, when she went to show them to me, they were gone, and I believe they were never heard of after. ROBERT CRAIGEN had but two children, ROBERT, his eldest who died without issue, and JOHN who was my father. You will see he came to this country near a century after Cromwell's time.'

"With these exceptions all of the Cragins in this country are descendants of the John Cragin who settled in Woburn, Mass. about 200 years ago, and there lived and died.

"Generally at the North the name is pronounced with the 'a' as in Crag and the 'g' hard as in the same word as if written Crag-in. The Virginia family spell and pronounce the name softer as in Craigen. By the advice of an old Scotch Schoolmaster in Mendon, Mass., the Branch of the family in that neighborhood were induced to spell the name CRAGGIN, as is still incorrectly done by some there. For myself I prefer the softer pronounciation.

"JOHN (Cragin) had but one son to bear his name and that son died at the age of 26 leaving his family to the guardianship of a Mr. BARKER. His son, JOHN, the grandson of the first JOHN, married JUDITH dau. of his guardian, and settled on a farm about a quarter of a mile south of the middle of Acton. There he had a large family of sons and daughters; when about 1766, they mostly removed to Temple, N.H., where they were among its first settlers, and from which place as a center most of the younger branches have emmigrated. This third John had an only brother who went south from Acton and settled in Mendon, Mass., and became the center of another branch of the family, who still reside mostly in that neighborhood. Before the removal to Temple, N.H. one son of the third John, named JOSEPH, had married and removed with two of his sisters (also married), to Maine, on the Kennibeck river. Here we have probably the foundation of the tradition above alluded to of three brothers, one settling in Maine, one going South, and one settling in Acton, Mass.

"In a very interesting letter from Miss HATTIE B. DINGLEY, the grand-daughter of ABIGAIL NEWELL, who is still living, and is herself the grand-daughter of JOSEPH CRAGIN, I received the following incidental information. Grandmother Newell related an incident connected with the origin of the name Cragin, which I will write you, although you may be aware of it. DOROTHY (Joseph's sister) gave it to her years ago:

'After a thirty years war in Scotland the Irish took posession permitting any of the Scotch to remain that would join their party, and many, rather than desert their cattle and lands, remained and intermarried with the Irish nobility. The greater part fled to the mountains, and lived there until they were a powerful army, and then came down and retook their lands. The name was then a combination of Irish and Scotch, being McCRAGIN.'

"This completes all that I have been able to learn of the Mendon branch of the Cragin family and the entire genealogy of JOHN CRAGIN of Woburn, Mass. I am very grateful to all those of my numerous kinsmen and kinswomen who have so promptly and kindly aided me in my work of love, for such it has been to me, and beg them to accept my very cordial thanks, and also that they will continue their kindness by sending me notice of my mistakes found in the preceding pages, and all future dates and names of births, marriages, and deaths that may occur in their several families. If the family continues to be as expansive, and, I may truly add, 'as faithful' for the coming two centuries, as it has proved itself since 1652, about which date John first arrived in Charleston, Mass., our genealogist A.D. 2052 will find here the roots and main branches of the goodly tree truly presented from which he can trace out its growth to some thousands of Cragin twigs and leaves and blossoms also, that with God's help may bless and make beautiful our country."

        CRAIGEN FAMILY, from Scotland to Virginia.

        This is an old Virginia family, now in Hampshire Co. (formed originally from  Hardy Co.), who spell their name "CRAIGEN."

Some time since Mr. Hill suffered a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered and following came the second stroke on Monday, which caused his death. The deceased was born 29 Feb 1856, being 54 years old at the time of his death. He grew to manhood in the near vicinity of Leiters, and was at the time of his death vice-president of the Leiters bank. He was also ex-trustee of Aubbeenaubbee twp, and was well and popularly known throughout the county.

         "He leaves two sons, WALTER of South Bend, and ELMER who resides in the state of Washington. Besides the two sons, there are four brothers and three sisters, MARSH and JOHN HILL of this city, being the brothers of the deceased.

         "Since the death of his wife, which occurred some eight years ago, he resided with Mr. & Mrs. Al Yelton at Leiters, and was actively engaged in various business pursuits at the time of his death.

         "The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the Methodist church in Leiters. The exact hour for the service has not been set because it is not known when the son from Washington will arrive."

They were baptized in a stream called "Jackson's Run" which flows through the Pleasant View Church yard. His wife had died in 1844, Elisha sold his land in 1845, and then made his way to Nauvoo where he died. This was where more than 600 members of the church died in the winter of 1846-47.[31]

Eva (Cragun) Heiner's book on the Cragun & Ellis family (p.38-39) tells that Rebecca (Cragun) Beaman and her husband, Aaron, seem to have been in Iowa with the Mormon group. However, the two sons evidently returned to Indiana. This was indicated in a letter written 4 Jan 1909 from Chicago, Ill., by Dr. Wiley Moroni Cragun, who was studying medicine, and visited Elisha Beaman (son of Rebecca) who was living in the country seven miles from Lebanon, Ind. The letter said: "This man is seventy-two years old and is one of the party who turned back when they reached Council Bluffs, Iowa."

                         m. Louise DUDLER

While Louise and the children were in Salt Lake visiting, Homer McCarty, Samuel's brother, received a telegram from Boise stating that Sam had suddenly died. It was 500 miles to Boise with only a horse and buggy for traveling, so Homer wired back to bury Sam in Boise. A week later when Louise returned to Boise she could find none of Sam's possessions. Of the details of his death she could learn nothing - only that he had died from a gunshot wound. Louise returned to Salt Lake City and was very successful in the cafe business.

Sam was a slender boy and stood as straight as a ship's mast. He had blue eyes and blond hair. When he was about 16 years old he went north to Salt Lake County, and there found work chopping timbers for the mines in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The axe slipped and almost cut his foot in half. He was brought to Salt Lake City where he lived at Dr. Seymour B. Young's home until he was able to work again.

After he married, he had no regular training for work, but he took up law. He and his wife moved to Rocky Bar, Idaho. Law was not a flourishing business, and Sam could hardly make a living. Two children were born to them, then a fire destroyed their home and all their belongings. They had to start again.

When eleven years old, a mysterious illness affected her, first in one foot then moving upward along her leg. The nearest doctor was in St.George, 75 miles southward. Homer said: "Father took Ella, Mother, Martha and I to St.George. We went with an ox-drawn wagon, a rough conveyance for a desperately sick girl, but all we had." Nothing was able to be done and after a few weeks in St.George, Ella passed away.
