James Fagan, the immigrant ancestor, was born, 1744, Dublin, Ireland to Erin and his wife, a McCrea. His parents died sometime before 1754, and "Jimmie" Fagan was brought to America, disguised as a page, by his Uncle Silas McCrea. On arrival in the Colonies, the Captain of the ship gave him or bound him to Moses Grigsby, a wealthy Virginia planter. [Fagan Family Bible; Letter by Henry B. Fagan, Perry, MO 1890,]
James Fagan, the indentured servant and orphaned lad of Irish blood, fell in love with Elizabeth Grigsby, the daughter of the planter to whom he was bound. Against the wishes of her father, Elizabeth and James were married in 1764, [Fagan Family Bible; obituary of Sue (Fagan) La France, Perry Enterprise, October 7, 1940].
From the estate file, it is learned that James Fagan died in Culpeper County, Virginia before October 25, 1793, the date his estate was inventoried and appraised. At court held for Culpeper County the 20th day of January 1794, the inventory was returned to Court and ordered to be recorded [Cul-- peper County, VA Will Book D, 1791-1803, Reel 321 pp. 107-108).
James Fagan was only 49 years of age when he died. Hardships suffered or injuries received during the Revolutionary War may have contributed to an early death.
Elizabeth Fagan, widowed at age 44 and the mother of eight children ranging from ages 25 to 11, had a big responsibility. The family appears to have been closely knit for they stayed together through several moves.
Sometime between 1794 and 1800, Elizabeth with her large family joined the growing number of people moving to Kentucky. The Fagan family landed at Lewistown, now Maysville, and entered the fort at Washington, four miles south of the Ohio River [Letter of Henry B. Fagan]. The term 11 landed11 leads one to believe the family went across Virginia to the Ohio River and then by boat to Lewistown, also known as Limestone.
Soon after arriving in Kentucky married Mr. Pullen. This second husband died or was killed at, or
near, Paris, Bourbon County. The widow married the third time a man by the name of Engle (English) and they lived between Lexington and Paris. Her children persuaded her to leave Mr. Engle and join them in a move to Missouri .
Zachariah Fagan, third son of Elizabeth and James Fagan, married Sarah Pullen, daughter of Jedidiah Pullen of King George County, VA. There is a strong possibility Mr. Pullen whom Elizabeth married was related to her daughter-in-law, Sarah.
In 1818, the Missouri Territory opened for land sales and Zachariah made entry for 220 acres in that part of the territory that is now Marion County.
A land entry for Elizabeth Fagan Engle was not in the records of the Marion County Original Land Purchases. With the acquisition of land in Missouri, it appears Zachariah made provision for his aged mother and his brother, Grigsby, to reside on his homestead.
In 1820, Zachariah and his oldest son, Henry Grigsby, went to Missouri to lay claim to their land. Other Kentuckians immigrated to the new territory that year. Their settlements were made in the timber, along a stream or spring. Water was indispensable to an existence in the wilderness. The Feagan home was built south of the proposed town of Palmyra. I.ater, the Hannibal-St Joseph Railway ran through the farm and the depot was located near the Feagan house.
Elizabeth Feagan Engle, born 1747, Stafford Co., VA, died in December 1831 at age 84, The cause of death, cited in the Greenwood Cemetery records, was "old age''· She was buried in the family graveyard on the farm. After the city cemetery in Palmyra was established, the remains of all the Fagans were re-interred in Greenwood Cemetery, May 17, 1871.
