John H. Reagan, of Civil War fame, said, "...I seperated from my family before
I was grown and went to Texas, consequently know but little of other branches
of the faimly; but I remember when I was a boy hearing our family speak of two
of the sons of great grandfather moving to what was then called the fever and
ague country, north of the Ohio River. I am now 69 years old, and they went
there before I was old enough to remember them, possibly before I was born..."
