I'll try again. This afternoon a thunderstorm was brewing and I wanted to shut down my computer.

In my research I have found two major Hagan families in Mississippi. One is located in the Yazoo area and the other in the Kemper-Newton area. There are many similar names in both families but I have yet to find a connection between the two families.

I am descended from the family that settled in the Kemper- Newton area.
My early records are from an old family bible.

James Richard Hagan was born in Virginia 12 Sept 1812. A cousin doing research said it was the part of VA that is now West Virginia but I have no proof.
On 14 July 1836 in Sumter County, Alabama he married Rebecca Martin. I have the Sumter County record. Died 28 Feb 1881 in Union, Newton County MS. ( Go to the Find a Grave web site and search the Union Cemetery in Newton County MS for a picture of the tombstones of James and Rebecca)
James and Rebecca had the following children:
1. Francis Plesant Hagan aka Frank. b. 25 Sept 1837 in Alabama. m. G. M. Perkins on 02 Dec 1855. d unknown

5. James Rufus Hagan (Uncle Jim) b 04 Mar 1874 in MS m Mandy d unknown. He lived in the Lubbock area of Texas. I met him several times at the Hagan family reunion which was held every July 4 for many years. He told me his grandfather came from Ireland but I have found no evidence of that. It was farther back than his grandfather.
6. David Hagan b 30 March 1876 d 30 Mar 1876.

The children I have for Pascal and Kate are mostly taken from census records. They are Henry J., b 1900, Richard, Velma, Clara, Dolly, Olier or something like that, Ines, and Loxie born in 1916.
