Dated statements about this place

1700 — Gragg -- my father's people -- they came originally from Fishire to North Ireland in probably the early 1700's. And began coming to America before the Revolution, because some of them served in the Revolutionary War. Gradually, they began going West. I've got them back to Tennessee now and into Missouri, where my grandfather was born. Bessie Murphy · source · Before 1844
