Francis CRAGO, born around 1755, Cornwall

[craigo]

Hello,

I am searching for the parents of Francis Crago, born about 1755, died 3
February 1831, Liskeard Parish. He married Sarah Russell 28 June 1784, St Germans Parish. Sarah Russell was baptized 20 January 1760, St. Germans Parish. Her parents were George and Dor[i}thy Russel. 

Francis and Sarah's children were John Crago, baptized 7 November 1784; (Frank) Richard Crago, baptized 7 November 1790; Dorothy Crago, baptized 5 August 1792; William Crago, baptized 15 November 1795; and George Crago, baptized 25 December 1803.  All baptized in St. Keyne Parish.

Frank Richard Crago's son, Francis Crago, and his family migrated to Pennsylvania, USA before 1899. 

George Crago's son, John Henry, also migrated to South Dakota, USA about 1872 with his family.

Recent DNA test results have indicated that my family is related to this Cornish Crago family, with a common ancestor in very early 1700s or last half of 17th century.  My family was in the English American colonies, at least, during the first half of 18th century based upon primary documentation.


Regards,
Steade

Hello Cousin,

Thank you for your response and the additional information.  Is my estimated 1755 year of birth for Francis Crago correct?

On the Cornwall Family History Society's records website, I found a Francis Cragoe, (incorrectly noted as "Dau" given forename spelling) baptized 17 September 1740, St. Clement Parish, the son (or daughter) of John Cragoe and Frances ULN.

I also found a Francis Crago, baptized 15 December 1719, Braddock Parish, son of Peter Crago and Margaret ULN.

I have not found a Francis Crago born or baptized near 1755.
