Francis Marion Reagan

Notes on Francis Marion Reagan from crvarnado2760112 at FamilySearch, https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:2:9HVJ-YRP

Frances Marion Ragan does not know himself where his father & mother were born or at least the person answering the questions for the 1880 La. census does not. It is stated that his father was born in Tenn. & his mother in Ohio. We know for certain, his mother was born in Virginia. Frances Marion Reagan died in a nursing home in Wisner, La. according to Mattie Reagan Rogers. On June 14, 1998, several years after the above was written, I find a letter from Thomas C. Reagan to Pansy Reagan dated July 10, 1929 and he says that Frances Marion was paralyzed in one arm and not fit to serve in the was between the states. He was baptized in October of 1872 by James M. McKey according to Guice Book of Methodist Baptism from Franklin Parish in the local library.
