Jesse Reagin is my ggg grandfather. He is a son of John/Rezin/Timothy Reagin. He was born in Newberry Co. in 1769 & died in Abbeville Co. about 1823. Married Rachel Jay abt 1790. Their children include Young Reagin and Edwin O. Reagin. Descendents settled in Alabama, Georgia & Texas.

Her father , John Gant, has a young woman and a young child living with him in NC in the 1800 census. In MD's 1800 census is a young Littleton Riggin with 2 young kids and an old lady. It is possible these two are them. Mary may have taken the young girl and Littleton and his mom kept two others. I'm just throwing this speculation out there.

Hi Michael, your message and that of Maryellen's is of interest to me. I have been trying to locate more information on the parents of my gg grandfather, James Ragan, and have butted my head against the proverbial brick wall many times! What little I know of my James is that he was born in Lancaster, SC, married Elizabeth Decker, is found on the 1840 census in Talbot Co., GA but not the 1850 census. They had at least eight children, Peter Fleming (born in SC), Simeon (or, Simon), Sarah Jane, Alfred Asa, Mary Elizabeth, W.L., Lucinda, and, J.C., all born in GA. There is always the possibility of others that we do not know about. Most of the issue left GA for TX and MS but Elizabeth (wife) died in GA. In your research have you seem any information concerning this family? Any ideas or suggestions? I have been in touch with a lot of Ragan (variant spellings) researchers and keep hoping that I can find one that either knows about this family or can suggest a site to search. I have relatively good records of most of the issue but would really love to uncover information on the parents of James. I have lots of data on the family (Decker) of his wife, Elizabeth but none of them have more than that she married James Ragan. Thanks for your time.

Thank you Bob. Since posting to the list, I discovered by googling the name, that Brian O'Regan had passed away. I have a letter in the post to Brian's old address - maybe the O'Regan listed as residing there is a relation and may be able to help. The Father Vincent Regan mentioned in the article is the late uncle of my sister-in-law and I am continuing his research.

Hi Listers, My name is Larysa Cheary and I am new to this list. I have recently found the above named article in the list archives and would dearly love to make contact with the author. The article was posted on 15 May 1998 by MW Ragan as a forward from a Bob Reagan. I am hoping someone may be able to help me with a current email address for Brian O'Regan - the one given at the end of the article bounces. It seems the postal address is current, so I can always write, but email is so much faster. Larysa Cheary Adelaide, South Australia

Unfortunately Brian O'Regan passed away shortly after he had given me the article which he had written after doing much research in Ireland. Brian was a Canadian residing in Ottawa, Ontario. For a short time after his death, his son maintained his website but I am not sure if it is still active. You may try to google his name.

Wm Powell Riggin (b. 1722) would be age 24 when he received his fathers land in 1746 8 may 1770 Bute NC court Minutes John Riggin orphan of Wm Powell Riggin dec'd to be bound to John Hawkins till he attain legal age, being 16 yrs old the 1st of Jan next...

Interesting.. I only saw one Joseph Ragan on that list of Ragan's in NC where my Joseph said he was born. However, he wasn't born until 1806...but I am wondering if that might have been his father... I know it has been discussed that my Joseph Wesley Ragan might be related to Nathan Ragan, though and that would be a different county. Any thought's on this?

I'd like to take just one census in NC ( it seems to be such a breeding ground for R's) and first, see how many R's we can find and where, and then try to prove who is who. I tried spellings of Ragan Ragans Regan Regans Riggin, Riggins Riggan, Riggans. I am working from the actual handwritten lists on Heritage, not someone's typed list.I am sure I missed a bunch. There was some Rogers listings that looked a lot like Ragans.sigh, bear with me. Most of the counties in the 1800 census were put in alphabetical order. A few were not. Regarding county names. Some researchers use today's names to describe the area of their ancestor's birth. Most use the names in place at the time of birth of the ancestor. I prefer this. However, sometimes the new divisions were ignored by the people involved. It is important to look at the county that your ancestor was born in and see when it was formed and from what. For example, a lot of early Delaware land records were filed in MD well after the drawing of the Mason Dixon line. Folks just ignored those government pests. This exercise began due to a discussion of Nathan Ragan who in the 1850 TN census says he was born in 1803 Person Co, NC. But there is no Person County 1800 census listing for a Ragan family. BUT, Person Co NC was formed from Orange Co, in 1792, and Orange Co has a Ragan and a Rigings. Hmmm. Please check this for errors.I'm on the fly here In 1800 NC census I find: Ashe Co: Eli Ragan 3 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 xxxx ( Ashe Co was formed in 1799 from Anson, Rowan, Surry, and Wilkes.) That makes Eli away from the bulk of R's. Bladen Co:John Riggins 1 x x 2 x 2 x x 2 1 x x Northhampton: Jonathan Riggens 1 x x 1 1 x 2 x 1 x x ( Northhampton came from Bertie in 1741.so did Edgecombe.)

I know who is in Orange, but who is in Wilkes? Any additions? Corrections? I'd like to talk about who is how and how we can prove or assume that. Maryellen

Maryellen, Looked at the name incorrectly...that makes total since given that the head of HH was a female, not a male. Unfortunaltely, I am not going to be of much help with the SC R's, since I have only been focusing primarily on Peter R. of Wilkes NC & TN. much of my research is in VA & NC. Here is some of what I have on Peter, Thomas, & William(s) There was a Peter & Thomas Reagan who enlist in Rev War in 1774 Rowan Co., NC A Peter Riggins sells land to Micajah Hart in Dobbs Co NC sometime 1777-1779 There are 2 Wm Rigins in 1778 Rowan Co., NC tax list in 2 different districts. A Peter Riggin enters land in Rowan Co NC in Mar 1779 abt same time Peter Ragan enters land in Wilkes NC in Nov 1779.

I know this sounds like a good thing to do. I would caution anyone about sending anyone your DNA. They can be use for much more than Genealogy. I may be cautious but in todays world of ID theft it is a good idea to error on the side of caution. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

I'm a Ragan from North Alabama/East Tennessee area, not "directly" related to Michael. Back in 99, Michael sent me a family listing from his database.I still have it and look at it from time to time. Does anyone have the GedCom database on which Michael worked so hard? All of the links to it I can find in the archives are old. I would also be interested to see what info anyone has on these names (my gr-grandparents): Arthur Ragan - 1888 - 1975 Bertha May Foshee - 1887 - 1950 The oldest relatives that Michael provided back in 1999 were: William Ragan - born ca 1806 in Tennessee who married Nancy ? born ca 1823. They had 2 children: Mary Jane and Laborn R (my gr-gr-grandfather). Also, any possibility of finding any links back to "old country" (Ireland or Sweden) using these names? I guess I'm asking, is it likely my "line" of "Ragans" come from Ireland? Thanks in advance for any help!
