More interesting Hagan ancestors - part 2


Interesting/famous/immigrant Hagan ancestors - 2

I have two different online genealogical websites:

1  1)  One is my toast.net website that I have to program and upload myself.  I haven't updated it in years;
2  2)  The other is hosted by rootsweb/ancestry.  I upload my genealogy database and it is put in a format that's easy to navigate.  The advantage to using this system is that ALL my data is here - not just what I purposely wrote up and recapped. 

So that being said, as a way of presenting my information, here are several interesting hagan/crego ancestors:

Some more interesting Hagan ancestors

1)  Asahel Bacus Parker, Baptist Circuit Rider.  Moved with family from New York, then into Ohio, where he met his wife.  Then on to Indiana, then into St. Joseph County, Michigan.   His wife died in 1861 and he in 1862 in a carriage accident. 
.


2) Cephas and Cyrus Parker, twin sons of Asahel Bacus Parker and Hepsey Ann Johnson.  Our written family history had stated that they fought against each other in the civil war.  After much research and collaborating with other researchers, we have determined that they both, in fact, fought in the Civil War for the Union Army.  Cephas stayed in Cass County Michigan for the rest of his life.  But for some reason, Cyrus ended up in Tennessee and married there.  In fact, his widow applied for a pension, based on his union service.



 3)Daniel H. Johnson.  Father of Hepsey Ann Johnson, who married Asahel Bacus Parker.  Daniel.  He married Anna North in Connecticut and moved to Ohio.  In fact, they were settlers into Ohio around 1809.  Ohio had just become a state in 1803.  Daniel fought in the War of 1812.  A published local history by his granddaughter states that while Daniel was off at war, his wife, Anna, slept with a pitchfork at the head of the bed to protect their family from the Indians.




Hagan ancestors that I know about, but haven't done a lot of original research:

Caleb Johnson.  Father of Daniel H. Johnson.  Born in 1745 in Middlesex County, Connecticut.  Served in the Revolutionary War in the Connecticut line for 2 years.

Interesting Hagan Ancestors, part 1

1)  One is my website (http://members.toast.net/jan.monnin/) that I have to program and upload myself.  I haven't updated it in years;

Hagan Ancestors:

1)  John A Hagan, Irish Immigrant.  Draftsman.
Here's the link to the biography I wrote up on him:

2)  Owen Deal.  operated an iron foundry.  In 1839 he came to Cass County Michigan. He went into business with Nathan Baker and they were the manufacturerers of the first iron plows in the entire county.

3)  Ebenezer Robinson, revolutionary war soldier. Served several terms.  Was deathly ill during his last tour of duty.  Through many complications, took the government 17 years to grant him a pension. He died 3 months after receiving his first payment at age 92.

4)  Charles H. and Aramintha Hammond.  Their story was made much more personal by a 3 page hand written family history of their marriage by Aramintha.  They were from Michigan, moved around a bit, but came back to Constantine Michigan to help Charles' parents in their old age.  Charles' occupation was listed in the census records as laborer, and one time as farmer.  But starting in 1880, his occupation was always listed as stone mason.  So in 1891, Charles and their eldest son Eli, went to California.  Aramintha, Charles' Mother and the rest of their children, all stayed with aramintha in Michigan.  Aramintha didn't join her husband in California until 1893, after Charles' Mother had passed away and she could sell their property.   In Charles' obituary, it states that he was a stone mason and had a part in building up of the city of Redlands - its fine buildings, homes and public improvements.  What a strong, pioneer family!


Hagan ancestors that I know about, but haven't done a lot of original research:

Captain John Whipple.  Born about 1617 in England..  Came to America in 1632.  One of the original prominent settlers of Providence Rhode Island. https://genweb.whipple.org/d0584/I366.html

Van Frank/Van Vranken family.  John Van Frank married Harriet Whipple.
This family's origin is Dutch.  I don't know the immigrant ancestor yet, but there is a reputable family history out called"Van Vranken/Van Frank Family Genealogy" by Roberta (Bobbi) Dodge,2005.  THis family were members of the Reformed Dutch Church.  Lived mostly in New York.

* Hammond immigrant ancestor was Thomas Hammond, born about 1630 in England.  He married his wife Elizabeth in England and immigrated to America.  Their children's birth records are all listed in Newton Massachusetts starting in 1664.  Newton wasn't settled until 1630, so they were early founders of this city.
