good morning Ron, I hope you're doing well. I'm glad you messaged me I've been looking for more gragg relatives.I would enjoy speaking to you if that is a possibility. My telephone number is 405 6591300.feel free to call me anytime or give me your telephone number and I will call you. I know my great grandfather was from the Oklahoma City area and had many brothers and sisters. However my father is an only child and his father died at a very early age. I have done quite a lot of genealogy research and would be glad to share it with you especially if we can find our connection. I look forward to hearing from you.
please excuse any typos. I am sending this from my phone.
Hi Ron. I'm new to the site and still figuring it all out. I've done quite a bit of Gragg research, many in and around MO and OK. I briefly glanced at some of my notes and we may have a distant connection, it gets sketchy back where our connection might be, but I'd be happy to share what I do have.
Hi Ron, I believe our tie will be with Thomas Gragg Sr. (born 1761), your lineage appears to go from him through his son Malcolm (born 1788), where mine goes through his son Thomas Jr. (born 1794)
I know for fact I have some from my line that went into MO, and also have one in my line that also married a Cornett like yours does right around the same generation, probably were sisters, and they married in MO as well. We can go over some of that later though.
I say things are "sketchy" only because I have a TON of information, but I'm really critical about verifying it as mush as humanly possible because I have come across many family trees and whatnot that simply were not correct. (especially around the 1750's back) There are several generations that have used names from previous generations, several Thomas's, several Henry's, more than one Nancy Ellender Crow, etc, etc. So knowing correct birth and death dates and relationships is key. Lots of cousins marrying in there too....
I'll piece together something to show our two lines at a quick glance for comparison, a simple version so we can see if we're even on the same page and that we are indeed related, very distantly, but related non-the-less.
Shoot me an e-mail, might be easier to pass information back and forth, I have several documents I've typed up to help me keep some of it sorted.
