Thanks Sue,
We have talked before. I recently found a descendent of Clarissa's on the
Dragoo page at genforum. If you have not looked at it recently there are 5
lines now including yours of Frederick's children I have been communicating
with: Peter (mine), John, William, and Clarissa. I knew of Lydia of
course. Carol Van Sickle came to our Fetters reunion in Montague, by
Oceana County last July. She is from John Dragoo's line. She believes this
line is the one of Frederick's that used but one "g".
Peter and Nancy (Williams) Draggoo's daughter Sarah Jane is my GGgrandmother
who was married to Henry Fetters. I am still looking to find her grave in
Dekalb County, though it is likely under Rhodes or Briton, possibly O'neil.
She had also been McCue. All these men died before she did. I think it
was after 1890, but cannot find any given names save Emerson McCue, but he
is probably in Oceana or Newaygo counties, MI, her second husband.
Can I ask what you know of Zeruah Johnson. I keep running across this
name close to James Dragoo, and I think this is his wife's name as well. I
find it unusual, believe it is a bit rare, yet there it is often in the 1850
census of Concord. I believe they (Johnson) were in Ashland County, OH.
Dan
