Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire/1393 Surname: CREGER, CREAGER, KRIEGER, CRIGER, CREEGER ------------------------- I am researching the Creger/Creager surname. My search has taken me to Jacob Creger, Sr., who moved to Tuscarwas County, OH., in 1811. Some information I have recently found suggests he may have come from or through Hampshire County, WV, on his way to Ohio. Jacob Creger Sr. was born approximately 1763 (in "VA" according to 1820/1830 census records), and it is possible he was born in Hampshire County, as well as any of children: Peter, b. 1793; John, b. 1802); Henry, b. 1803; Jacob Jr., b. 1799, Catherine, Margaret, and Sarah. Jacob Sr.'s wife was named Sharlot/Charlotte. Jacob moved onto land in Ohio he bought from George Kail, who I have been told was born in the Capon Valley area of Hampshire County. It may be the two families knew each other in Hampshire County before moving on to Ohio. I can be contacted via the e-mail address indicated or at 4217 Starr St., Lincoln, NE 68503, or (402) 471-6882 (work days).
