Judy,

As far as I'm concerned noone is too far removed from Timothy and Mary LARY
RAGAN to be included in our database. If they're a RAGAN (any spelling) or
descendant I'd like to include them.

All your family is still in the database. Where have you been looking? I
don't have them listed on our Web Site because of space, but they're all in
the GedComs that have been made available for research. Have you downloaded
the GedCom and looked at it?

I'll paste your Ahnentafel Report below.

Yup I just looked and they're in there.

John Henninger REAGAN (1818-1905) was the son of Timothy Richard RAGAN/REAGAN
(ca 1797-ca 1847) and Elizabeth LUSK (1799-1831). I don't know the actual
link between Jacob and John's family yet.

John H. was the g-grandson of Timothy RAGAN and Elizabeth TRIGG. Timothy
served in the Revolutionary War. Here are some notes I have in the database
on him:
======
Timothy Reagan served in the Revolution with the Continental Troops of
Maryland. He was seriously wounded at the Battle of Brandywine and again
later in the war. Muster roll records found in the National Archives,
Washington, D.C. Show that he served as private with Captain John
Eccleston, in the 2nd Regiment of Maryland Troops, commanded by Colonel
Thomas Price. The records also show that he was left at a hospital in
Chester, Pennsylvania, on 12 September 1777, the day after the Battle of
Brandywine. He was reported as still being in the hospital six months
later. No records of a pension or bounty land grants were found.
