Volume 1


In the late 1730s, four relatives with the surname Pagan immigrated to Martic Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. By 1800, half the family had changed the name to Pegan. Until now, except for one partly delineated line, the Pagan/Pegan family, which includes several Revolutionary War veterans, has never been researched. This book, part of a two-volume set, traces thousands of Pegan descendants who now live in all 50 states.


The result of 20 years of meticulous, proprietary research by a descendant, Volume 1 is thoroughly sourced. It traces the author's direct line from the immigrant, including all of her g-g-g-grandparent's progeny. Volume 1 also discusses the origin and meaning of this unusual surname, and includes an inset of family charts, maps and documents to illustrate the history and migration. This lineage book would be a valuable addition to anyone's genealogy collection.
