John
Hagans came to
America prior to the Rev. war, served in a NJ militia unit under Geo. Wash.
Then moved to Botetonet Co., Virginia. Had several children, 3 sons; John,William and my line was James he moved to
Ohio, then Ill, and then to near
Greenville, Ind. His son was Richard, and his son was John Morris
Hagans.
Besides the 3 boys he had 6 girls; Mary,Margarett, Elizabeth,
Melly, Nancy, and Martha. Eliz was born 3-7-1835.
She went by
Eli, and married maybe a
Radcliff? The family history was copied from a family bible in the late 1800s.
The writer expected the reader to ref. to the old bible, which I've never seen. The original paper I have is hard to read.
