Summary: "Patrick Fagin, progenitor of the Fagin family treated in this history was born in Ireland and came to the American colony of New Jersey some time around 1740. ... tradition says that he came from northern Ireland -- the "Orange Country" -- ... Patrick Fagin was originally in the colony of Irish settlers of Salem Co., New Jersey, and was apparently a schoolmaster in Elsin Borough, Salem Co. about 1759. Before 1766 he had moved, ... to New Hanover Township, Burlingon Co. ... there Patrick's children were born. ... [there is] no record of his marriage. ... Patrick Fagin and his family left New Jersey before 1790, ... [moving] to western Pennsylvania, and settled in Fayette Co., Menallen Township, on the Monogohela River near Brownsville."--P. 6. "Patrick Fagin died before 1820 ... He may have died in Clermont before 1810"--P.8. It is said that he was buried in the Old Clough Cemetery. Descendants lived in Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, California, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere.

• * * * * There was a flood in 1793 and many families decided to move westward along the Ohio River. He then, with the help of his brothers, built a flatboat from logs, loaded all they had in it, and in the spring journeyed the Ohio River. Indians were numerous along the way and gave them a great deal of trouble, but they landed safely at the mouth of the Little Miami River, a few miles above from what is now Cincinnati, Ohio. At the mouth of the Little Miami there was a station or fort called Jarrett's Station (Gerrard's Station). A number of families settled there the same year (1794) and commenced clearing the land and farming it. In spite of the fact that the Indians were very troublesome the county filled up fast. -- Account from Dominicus Fagin, son of Aaron and grandson of Patrick Fagin; page 447 from Family Ties and Tales (Final Edition): Family History of Doug Boylan By Doug Boylan, 2018
