"In December, 1855, Wm. Gragg, with a colony of eight or ten families, took possession of Cedar Creek. -- Among the number were Henry, Zack and John -- sons of Uncle Billy, -- and G. McDaniel and J. W. Rogers, his sons-in-law."

The death date of Henry Gragg, son of William and Catherine Gragg, is well-documented in Jefferson County, Kansas records.

Most likely, he is buried in the same location as his parents, but this will probably never be confirmed.
