Ewell "Vell" Dragoo

The first mention of Dragoos in Monongalia Co. WV that we found is the 1830 census.  We have a Jacob that is between 40-50 years of age and John who is between 70-80 y/o.  

In the 1840 census there are three Dragoo families; Peter 50-60 y/o, Elizabeth (widow of Ephraim) 50-60 y/o and W. Dragoo 20-30 y/o. W. Dragoo had two females 0-5 y/o and one male 5-10 y/o. This is most likely, Ewell's family.

This family moved to MI in approximately 1845.

After Jane's death Ewell married a widow, Cornelia (Lewis) Graham. Both Jane & Ewell are buried in the McCoy Cemetery, Berrien Co. MI.
