Message Board Post:
Erika,
I just found your message about Amos Reagan of Harrison County, Indiana. I am a direct
maternal descendant of his sister, Rebecca Reagan who married (1) Mr. McKee, (2) John
Lang, and (3) Lemuel Mallory.
I am identifying all the descendants of John Lang and Rebecca Reagan.
I don't believe I have documentation proving Amos and Rebecca's kinship, but they
both lived in Jefferson County, Kentucky for a while. John Lang actually signed for one of
Amos' daughters to marry in Jefferson County. Both John Lang/Rebecca and Amos Reagan
moved to Harrison County, Indiana around 1810 and lived next to each other, implying
kinship in my opinion.
According to Rebecca's great-grandson, Thomas James de la Hunt, Jr. in his 1916 book
"Perry County [Indiana], a History" the Reagan family were from Frederick
County, Virginia and Rebecca's parents were Michael Reagan and Nancy O'Connell. He
does not mention Amos or any other siblings. I will admit that de la Hunt made some
mistakes in his genealogical research, but I believe it to be mostly true.
Have you looked for probate records for Amos or Phebe to see if their heirs are mentioned?
Also, have you checked the marriage consent notes to see if Hiram's father is listed?
I can't seem to find my notes on this family at the moment. I live in Harrison County,
Indiana by the way.
I would be interested in sharing my information on Rebecca Reagan for your information on
Amos Reagan.
