This John Ragan/Reagan is strongly believed to have been the son of Ezekiel Ragan/Reagan.He was born circa 1752 in Frederick County, Maryland.He was married first circa 1772 in Frederick County, Maryland to Lydia ?_____? who is the mother of all ten (10) children.Their children were: Richard b ca 1774; Maria b 09 Sep 1777; Eli b 30 Jun 1778; Lydia b 03 Sep 1779; John Jr. b 17 Feb 1781; Elizabeth b 01 Oct 1783; Infant b & d ca 1786; George b 04 Jul 1789; William b 04 May 1791; and Samuel b 18 Oct 1794.
After the death of his wife Lydia on 17 Jun 1797 in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, he was married on 26 Sep 1799 in Washington County, Maryland to Barbara Ordorff.
Then John Ragan died on 27 Mar 1828 in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland.
His occupation was farmer and inn-keeper there.
Again, he and his two wives were buried in St. John's Lutheran Church Cemetery in Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland.But their remains have been moved to Rose Hill Cemetery there.
I strongly beleived that he and his father, Ezekiel descended from Daniel Ragan, Sr. and his wife Sarah Lewis of Anne Arundel County, Maryland and Baltimore County, Maryland.
I do welcome any inquires on this family.Please contact me.
