It is all I have found so far. I am descended from Marvel Calavan, Sarah Elizabeth's brother. Michael lived in Kentucky when he married Sarah.December 24, 1848 Michel and Elizabeth moved by covered wagon to Mercer Co, Mo, from Kentucky somewhere between 1849 when Marvel was born and 1850 when Marvel was born. It is quite possible I have the name spelled wrong. When I look for information on my Hagan family I have to look for Hagan, Hagen, Haggin, Hagar, Aegan, etc. Don't forget that those were also the time where if you were trying to make a fresh start you might use a new name also. My source for much of the information on their children came from another descendent of this line. If you would like to E mail me at downey@bellsouth.net I would be glad to put you in touch with her. My memory is bad today. Do you have the information on her parents? Send me your E-mail and I will send you what I have on the line from her parents down. It is quite a lot thanks mainly to others hard work. But it is quite an interesting story.
