Wow, I never heard of this site before. I'll have to take a look around.

Anyone else decended from Hiram Thomas Gragg (b1820 d1892)?

Who's Hiram's Dad?

Thomas Gragg (1794-1879) his father was Thomas Gragg (1761-1805) his father was Robert Gragg (1732-1796) his father was John Gragg (1690-1758)

Thomas Gragg is my GGG Grandfather,

My line starting with my father going back is Silven Everett Gragg - Samuel Gragg - Alexander Richardson Gragg - Hiram Thomas Gragg - Thomas Gragg. Do you have any pictures?Here's one of Hiram Thomas.

I have 2 one of my GG Grandfather Washington Jackson Gragg and his brother Marion Gragg.

here is the other :)

I do have a pic of the Gragg Family but I dont have a clue who is who in it, There was no names on it. It said Gragg Family. :(

Thomas Jackson Gragg son of Washington Jackson Gragg and Fanny Emilia Hummel Gragg. He is with his step daughter Mary Dennis.

I have a Marion Gragg born in 1838 married to Martha Jane Leaky. He was the son of Thomas Gragg born 1792 which would be the cousin of Thomas born 1794.

Yes that is correct Jeff. Alexander Marion is Washington Jackson Gragg (my GG Grandfather) brother.

If you go to find a grave you can see who all is buried in the Gragg Cemetery in Bates CO. MO.

I have the Gragg / Gregg Book that Ted Gregg wrote

Do you have a birth and death year for Washington Jackson? He's missing from my tree.

yes I have everything you can think of on him :) Born Greene CO. TN. July 15 1815 died Feb 4 1897 buried in Melrose Methodist Church Cemetery, Melrose, IA.

At the age of 21 (1836), he left Tennessee and moved to Jackson County, Missouri. He was united with the Baptist denomination.

In 1863, he enlisted in the Merrill's Horse troop, 2nd Missouri Calvary. He saw very hard service and served to the close of the war. He became badly disabled by disease contracted in the service of his country.

In 1875, he moved to Albia, Iowa. There being no Baptist denomination there, he joined the Christian denomination, and lived a consistent Christian life in the full hope of a better life hereafter. He died at the age of 81 yrs, 6 mos, 10 days.

Jeff my mother was a Gragg.

here ia a pic of her when she was younger.

Do you have a gedcom file you can send me? I think we have 2 Thomas Graggs born in 1794. My GGG grandfather Thomas was born in 1794 and died Nov 1879 in Cock county, TN. My info is based on research done by Robert and Della Fay GREGG. I was told they found errors in the Ted Gragg book.

here is a link to my Thomas Gragg born 1794 buried in Gragg Cemetery Bates CO MO.

As per Ted's Book yes I also found some errors but in all its a very good book with alot of right info in it that I didnt have till I did my own research on it.

Martha Jane Gragg, born 16 Oct 1822 in Clay Co. MO. Married at the home of her mother, 5 Jan 1843 (Clay Co. MO) died 7 Dec 1885, Milam Co. TX and buried in the Marlow Cemetery there. Her husband William Byers Magill was born20 July 1819 Clay Co MO died 5 Jan 1843 Milam Co. TX also buried in Marlow Cemetery.
. Martha Jane Gragg was the daughter of Henry Gragg and Elizabeth Pharoah.

Martha Jane Leakey Married Marion Alexander Gragg. I think you have the 2 mixed up. The pic of them is on the 2nd page here. By the way Alexander Gragg is my GGG Uncle.

The information I have on my Gragg family is documented in Clay Co. Mo marriage records, the Magill Family Bible Records, The Will of Henry Gragg, Ray Co. MO dated 14 July 1823.proved 3 May 1824. This Henry Gragg lived 32 years in TN and moved to Missouri at the age of 55. I don't think we are talking about the same Martha Jane. Quoting from an abstract of the Will of my Henry Gragg, will dated 14 July 1823. Wife Betsy Gragg. Nine children that live at home and the one wife is pregnant with: Robert, William John, James Hervy, Mahala, Jefferson, Jacob, Rachel, Martha Jame. House to be built and made comfortable to live in, on quarter of land wife chosses. Exrs., Samuel Gragg & Benjamin Gragg, Robert Gragg. Proved 3 May 1824. This is from Will Bk A46, in Ray Co. Missouri.

My Martha Jane Gragg who married William B. MaGill is my great, great grandparents.

What was her maiden name? Also can you please send me a copy of the will. nettech_00@yahoo.com

I will check the death certificate site for the death certificates for Ray and Clay CO. MO

In Clay CO MO. there is a Martha Brown who married a Ben Gragg.

Georgie all I have is an abstract of the Will. I haven't seen Teds Book. I have sone my own research. I had to put genealogy on the back burner for a few years due to the loss of a son and my husbands illness. The complete Will for my Henry Gragg is in Book A46, Ray County, MO. wills. The Heirs listed were: Robert, William, Polly, John , James H. Mahala, Jefferson, Jacob, Rachel, Martha Jane, and Henry. This is from "Missouri Pioneers. Vol. 8.

I don't think Missouri had birth or death records in the period we are talking about..

Her maiden name was Martha Jane Gragg. She married William B. MaGill.

I am very sure there is more than one Martha Jane that was either born a Gragg or married a man by the name of Gragg. Many of the Gragg's changed the spelling of the name to Gregg. Is your Gragg ancestor from Missouri?

Yes my mother was a Gragg. My side of the Graggs came from Monroe CO. Iowa. My GG Grandfather was Washington Jackson Gragg son of Thomas and Nancy Ellender Crow Gragg. Washington was born in Greene CO. Tenn. Washington married 2 times. 1st to Fanny Emelia Cousins Hummel. Fanny lost her 1st husband in the war. She then married Washington and had 5 kids. Fanny died in Delaware CO. Iowa. Washington then moved to Mercer CO. MO where he met my GG Grandmother Nancy Jane Myers Wright Gragg. Nancy was married to Joseph Wright he died looking for work in Memphis MO. My G Grandfather was Tolbert Rockhold Gragg. Tolbert married Ida Belle Thompson. My Grandfather was Rev Ira Thomas Gragg. He was the minister of the same church for 32 years.

Great. It may be we are related some place further up the line. Don't you think?

If you are related to Robert Gragg/Gregg Sr or JR. then yes we are.

I just looked in my Legacy and yes we are Henry Gragg is my 4th Great Granduncle. I have him listed as died in Ray CO. MO.

This is what I have on Robert Gregg SR.

Robert Sr was from Northern Ireland and emigrated to the colony of Virginia as a single man. He married into a respectable family by the name of Harrison and settled int eh neighborhood of Stanton, Augusta County. He was respectable farmer and a member of the Presbyterian Church.

He was the father of seven sons and five daughters. Thomas, Henry, Robert Jr, and Samuel all married and moved to Tennessee.

In a few years, Robt Sr. followed with his two youngest sons, John and William.

Robert Sr. purchased a fine tract of land and for a number of years lived as a patriarch, surrounded by six sons and four daughters.

Clovis do you have 2 Nancy Crow's in your family tree? My Nancy is the daughter of Benjamin Crow and Ann Gregg. If Walter Crow and Ann Miller had a Nancy also thats where the confusing part come from cuz alot of people think my Nancy name is Nancy Crow Crow Gragg. BUT mine is Nancy Ellender Crow Gragg.

Georgie, I have Henry Gragg married first Nancy Crow (with a question mark because I got that from some one else and never proved it) supposedly the daughter of Walter Crow? So that tells me I need to do more research before I claim her as his first wife. My information shows that Henry Gragg and his first wife had Samuel, Elizabeth, Benjamin, and Thomas. He married Elizabeth "Betsy" Pharoah (farrow) b. ca 1784 NC. married 25 Nov 1800 Greene Co. Tenn Children by second marriage were: Robert born ca 1805/1801 Greene Co. TN married 16 Aug 1827 Nancy Brewer, William born ca 1808, Green Co or Cocke Co. TN married 11 Mar 1830 Cathering Jones, died Jefferson Co. KS, John b. 14 Feb 1810 Co9cke Co TN md 1st 16 Jan 1838 Elizabeth Ford. James Harvey b. ca 1812 Green or Cocke Co. TN md 17 Mar 1833 Nancy Ann White, died March 1849 Clay Co. MO This is getting to long, the rest of the children were Jefferson, MahalaM Rachel, Martha Jane who is my ancestor, Henry II, Mary Monroe "Polly" born after her father wrote his will.(child my wife goes with). If you don't have the rest of the data on these last kids I will be happy to give that info to you. I guess we are cousins.

Georgie you are doing great. Now maybe we can find someone else that is related. I show that Robert Gragg/Gregg and Lydia? Harrison was Henry Gragg's parents. The rest of your questions and comments will have to wait until tomorrow.
Have a good evening

I will have to look at the Gregg/Gragg book to see what Ted Gregg has. I know there are mistakes in there but its a start.
