James According to the Estate settlement, John ( son of James and Joan) Regon left unnamed children. It took 9 years to come to settlement...probably waiting for youngest to come to age of either 14 or 21...whatever. His widow was admx. She then remarries hubby #3 and becomes Eliz Carroll. She was first the widow of John Wood Jr. This is important because John Wood Jr and Elizabeth had a son John, who died young, in 1740. Elizabeth is named as his mother in that estate settlement. As witnesses to this disbursement, there was present: the mother, two half sisters, and two half brother the sibs, unnamed, of the deceased. The only half siblings John Wood jr could possibly have were the children of Elizabeth Wood Regon Carroll and her second hubby John Regon. So.... there was 5 kids of this union...2 are female, One John Jr Regon died in 1728, that leaves 2 males as sons of John Regon Jr who were alive in Charles Co MD in 1740. There is also a John in 1737 that I suspect is one of Mathew's. The McDaniel name marks this as of "our" group of Rgns. William and Charles, both sons of James and Joan, both have sons named John who begin in VA. See will below...this has to be a son of Mathew and Sarah, as the others are dead or gone and John Rgn Jr. is unlikely to name 2 sons by one wife , John.

Was there not a James Regan-2 b. 20 Mar 1685 s/o James-1 & Joan? This would conflict with John-2 who was born 24 Mar 1685. However, from another source, I have John b. 12 Feb 1694 along with sister Margaret born same date. Can anyone confirm these dates? M'elen, I also note that Wm Regon-2 was b. Jan 1690/91 and has his first child John b. 1717. That would make Wm abt 16/17 yrs old when John is born. Is this right? JW Garrett

M'ellen Re: John R-2 (James/Joan-1) was John dec'd by 1730? How many unamed children? males or females? There were at least two John R's in Granville NC by 1755, John Ragon by himself 1-0-1 and John Regan with Francis Regan 2-0-2. Re: Mathew R Apparently there were two Mathews. The Mathew-2 b. 1687/d. 1716 And the other Mathew who sells in 1752. To whom does he belong? Re: Charles R-2 Do you have proof of his children? Speculativly I have Jemima, James, and John-3, and Elizabeth, but no Charles I think this possible son John-3 is the John who died 1826 Rockingham NC. He had lived in Guilford and served in Rev War. He and George Oliver (husband of Jemima R) owned adj. lands on Dan River in Rowan NC. The Charles b. 1735 I think belongs to Timothty-1 of AA MD via son John-2 (no proof). This Charles was in Frederick, Dumore, & Shenandoah VA before moving on to Blount Co., TN where he died. This Charles md Elizabeth Henry. The Charles R who was in Rev War NC was b. 1759 NC enlisted 1778. He md Milly Poplin and lived (1790, 1800 census) and died in Lincoln Co NC. Another Charles R enlisted Rev war in 1776 Charles Co., MD. He allegedly collected his pension in Warren NC. Tell me more re: Wm Powell who buys land then delivers to Charles Raggan. When and where? 1766 Bute NC tax list Charles & son Riggan 1771 Bute Charles Riggan Sr Charles Riggan Jr 1774 Bute Charles Riggan md Zillah Lindsey (I think this Charles is b/o my Peter Reagan who md a Lindsey) 1775 Bute a Charles Riggens was on a jury 1800 Warren Charles Reggon b. bef 1755 1810 Warren Charles Riggen 1812 Warren /Capt Turner's dist Charles Riggens John Riggens I would like to be able to sort all the Charles R's out.

Mr. Garrett, Eli Ragon (1766-1807) was married to Mary Stewart in about 1780. They had 9 children: Delilah b.1782, Sara b.1784, Mary (Polly) b.1786, Jacob b.1788, David b.1790, Daniel b.1792, Eli Jr. 1797, Absalom Newton b.1801 and Jacob William b.1807. All the children were born in N.C. Absalom Newton was my great, great grandfather. Many of the children moved on to Tennessee but Absalom and Eli Jr. went to Arkansas.

All I have is a handwritten story from an older relative. She refers to him as Owen Ragon (the same name as my great grandfather and ggg grandfather) but she could well have been wrong. This was written back in the 30's if I remember right and she was elderly at the time. She waxes poetic about her wonderful husband etc., but come to find out she married her dead sister's husband which she doesn't even mention. I think, all in all, there is some truth to the story but it could have been embellished as time went on. I have just moved and am remodeling my new home. If, and when, I ever get things situated I will send you a copy of the story.

M'ellen Re: Wm R's of Bute NC in May 1765 Bute a Wm Powell & Wm Riggan witnessed an account sale of Daniel Harris, dec'd. I am guessing this is the Wm Powell Riggan-3 of Stafford VA?? I note that you mention a Michael Harris whose will written 1739 was witnessed by Samuel Thompson. Any connection? The Sept 1769 Bute NC abtract mentions a "Wm Raggan". Is this Wm Powell-3 or his son Wm-4 from Stafford VA or Wm of Surry VA. The abtract does not say "Wm of...". The only Wm of Surry VA I know of is the Wm b. abt 1730 (John-3, Francis-2) who had sons John, Wm, & Ira. This Wm of Surry died 1813 in Surry VA. Whereas the Feb 1769 Bute NC abtracts does identify "Wm Riggan of Surrey VA" The Dec 1770 Bute NC abtract mentions both "Wm Riggan of Surry VA" and a "Wm Raggon" This Wm Raggon is likely Wm Powell R-3 or son Wm-4, likely Wm-4 since Wm Powell "R" has dec'd earlier in the year.

Our family lore tells of a young Ragon who wanted to come to the new land. He broke the Blue Laws (hunting on the King's land and on Sunday to boot) to win a free trip to the Americas. He was said to come from County Meath. His Mother was killed while serving food to the troops during the Battle of the Boyne (River). (We even have an Orange Ragan - named after William of Orange) He served in the Revolutionary War.

The book names a Charles Regan from County Cork, Ireland and a Timothy Ragan also from County Cork, Ireland being transported to America. Timothy on March 18, 1742/43. Robert Williamson was paid sixty pounds to transport Timothy's group. Those transported were convicts, felons, or vagabonds mostly. -------------------------------------------------- From: "james garrett" <jwgarrett@webtv.net> Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 4:00 PM To: <ragan-roots@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [RAGAN-ROOTS] William R's > > M'ellen > Deed transaction would certainly help to identify the Wm Powell "R > mentioned in the 1744 Will of Wm. > When and where he obtained land in Stafford and when and where he sold > land when he moves to NC (if he is the Wm Powell b. 1722 who went on to > NC) > > OK I remember the Wm of Surry NC.

M'ellen Deed transaction would certainly help to identify the Wm Powell "R mentioned in the 1744 Will of Wm. When and where he obtained land in Stafford and when and where he sold land when he moves to NC (if he is the Wm Powell b. 1722 who went on to NC) OK I remember the Wm of Surry NC.

I have Bridget Rogan born to Wm and Eliz. Bridget Rogan and then death of Bridget Rogan same day...has to be child as Wm and Eliz. Brid. go on to have more kids and I assume the point of the Elizabeth Bridget constant reference is to differ her from Charles's wife...also Elizabeth Riggin/Regan in the Stafford Records. I am bothered that only Bridget is listed as mother of Kisiah in May of 1744 and William did not die until Dec. 1744 Usually a mother listed alone is a widow, or more likely, unmarried. Is it possible an unrecorded Bridget was born to this couple and she had an illeg. child? There is an Elizabeth recorded born to William and Eliz Brid. in 1717. Then there is another Elizabeth born to Wm. and Eliz. Bridget in 1731. I don't think there are 2 Elizabeth Bridgets. So, I am assuming the first Elizabeth died and then we have a second daughter. While we are at it... ho ho ho looky what I just found.......Saint Paul's Register... Elizabeth Powell born to William and Amy ( Raleigh...me) Powell 1717...Elizabeth dau of William and Amy Powell died 1728 How about them apples!... no other Elizabeth listed. This chick didn't have no Powell Rgn in 1722 ! This father William Powell died in 1745...his sons were Richard ( married to Grace XXX) Joseph...died no kids, and William who married Elizabeth Regan, dau of Charles....whoooooeee! No dau Elizabeth of William Powell' s Yeah ! Anybody want to talk Richard??? M'ellen Seriously, I could be missing something here...think I'll go find me a Powell researcher and get bashed about a bit. But I'm convinced Grace Powell's dead dau was the wife of William mentioned in the will and that's why she leaves guns to his son Powell and chickens etc to his dau Jane.

I have Winifred b. May 1744 as d/o Bridget Regan Also Isaac b. Dec 1746 s/o Margaret Regan JW Garrett

You are correct on 1717 birth of John, and 1718 death. Bridget died the day she was born. VA law which we must refer to as NC is gone...must be 14 for personals (17 to sell personals 21 for land) and 21 for control of land... thus the guardian till of age as land could go to pot...

BTW, I have never seen an original will...don't know if there is one...what we have is the final distribution, not the actual will, and it does NOT ID Kesiah or Eliz as daughters... just pays them... in fact, I'm not sure it calls William Powell R a son???

They move or were redistricted into Farquier Co .Then the Durhams sell out and with the Colcloughs, and senior Durhams, also head for NC. This bunch of R's is all James and Joan ! The William of Surry stays there. Don't forget, this gang sure sounds like the bunch in Westmorland Va< whom Nola Duffy spoke of, that move across VA and into NC : "William's brother, Samuel Thompson, must have left him a very well to do man for he and his son, Samuel, were left most of his brother's property. He was the only one of the sons of Rev. William Thompson who left children. He made his will December 20, 1731, probated October 18, 1732. The will is badly torn and partly destroyed. He names son, Samuel Thompson; daughter Katherine; daughter Hannah Thompson (devised 100 acres on land on Deep Branch); son John (10 acres after the decease of his mother and the gun and pistols given him by William Moseley) and grandchildren, Samuel and Mary Thompson (rest and remainder of his estate). The Witnesses were Jane Regan, Mary Regan and Mary Mastin. (Will Bk. 8, p. 240). His son, William, must have been included in part of the will that is missing for it is proven by his brother, Samuel Thompson's will that he had a son, William. In naming his brother William's children he named William as the third child. John Thompson also mentioned brother William in his will. Samuel Thompson (William, William, John), born circa 1686 married Sarah Edwards. He was a witness to Michael Harris' will Jan. 1739 (Bk. 9, p. 464); to John Bamers will on Oct 2, 1731; and to his brother-in-law William Edwards' will on Feb. 10, 1744. There is a deed Oct. 24, 1748 from Samuel and Sarah Thompson to John Thompson, both of Surry for 23 acres, part of 150 acres Samuel purchased of Joseph King and Catherine, his wife, land on east side of Cypress Swamp. Witnesses were John Riggan, Sen., Wm. George, John Riggan, Jun. and Joseph Riggan (Bk. 5, p. 371). On August 31, 1751 Samuel deeded to his brother, John Thompson, 250 acres on east side of Cypress Swamp (Bk. 6, p. 439). It would appear these deed represent the sale of property in anticipation of moving to North Carolina. (Note the references to members of the Riggan family. )" Though no William is mentioned here, it is here that Grace Powell wrote her will.
