Patriarch of the Fourth Oldest of Ten Early Crago/Craigo Families in America
John Crago was born in Pennsylvania, but seems to have started his family in Lincoln County, North Carolina. Later he appears to have moved to Callaway County, Missouri about the time of his son's (John F Crago) death in the 1820's, when he seems to have taken up residence with his son's widow and family.
John Crago and Haney Lewis Crago appear to have had nine children, but little is known about several of them. In the 1810 Census there are four sons and three daughters apparently living with John and Haney. Although these children are unnamed in the census, it is believed that the sons are Thomas, Samuel, John F, and Robert J Craigo, and the girls are believed to be Mary, Martha, and an unknown other daughter.
Thomas Craigo went to Gilmer Co., Georgia in the late 1840's, John F went to Missouri in the 1820's or 1830's, and Robert stayed on in North Carolina. We don't know what happened to Samuel. Other descendants, grandson Robert M Craigo, and great-grandson Robert Craigo, went to Bradley County, Tennessee and Greenville, South Carolina, respectively. By 1920, we no longer find any Crago's or Craigo's in North Carolina.
Many of these connections are poorly documented and deserve more research. It is believed by some historians that this John Crago may be one of the sons of Thomas Crago who was killed by Indians about 1771 in Greene County, Pennsylvania. There is currently no known evidence, however, for this supposed relationship and we would be very interested in any information about this man's parentage, or to have additional volunteers from among his descendants for our ongoing Crago/Craigo DNA studies, and Crago family history research.
In the 1790 Federal Census we have identified only four Crago or Craigo households. With DNA testing we now know that Thomas Crago, Robert Crago and James Cragoe, of Washington Co., PA in 1790, all appear to share a common paternal ancestor. As of this writing, however, we have not tested enough people who descend from John Crago of Lincoln Co., NC to know if he belongs to this same Crago family tree.
