My Melchizedek CRAGOE was born or baptized in 1712 in Boconnoc Parish. He was the son of Francis CRAGOE and Tamson TOM, who were married in Boconnoc in 20 April 1712. The CRAGOEs and CRAGOs favored Francis as a given or Christian name. Steade Steade Craigo, FAIA, Architect In a message dated 11/26/2012 3:04:34 P.M.
