Her father was John George CREAGER b 11 May 1771, in Frederick County, Maryland and reported to have died 23 August 1865 in Van Zandt County, Texas. He is also reported to have died in Red River in 1845. He married Margaret Ann Myers 19 March 1798 in Washington County, Kentucky. She was born about 1777 and died before 1850.
They had the following known children.
Sarah CREAGER b: 24 DEC 1799 in Kentucky She is at FG #75971922
Hester Wyatt CREAGER b: 1807
William Sawyer CREAGER b: 9 SEP 1808 in Washington County, Kentucky, U.S.A. He is at FG # 10484381
George CREAGER b: 1815 in Illinois, U.S.A.
Jacob CREAGER b: 1818

Contributor: Creager (48392529)
Wife of Joseph Holcomb.
Mother of: George, William, Margaret, John Wesley, Lewis, Joel M., Thomas, Malinda, Henderson and Mary.
NOTE: Sarah died in April, 1870 per Texas mortality schedule and her
obituary, as reported in Nacogdoches Genealogical Society Yesterdays Journal, Vol. XIX, Num. 2 Sep 1999, pp. 11-12. Others have also commented on this discrepancy and none have an answer about why she died in 1870 but her gravestone shows 1881. 1870 census (done in Nov 1870) and 1880 census both show Joseph as a widower, which is
consistent with Sarah's death in spring of 1870 rather than 1881.
**NOTE: her husband's death year is 1881**
-------------------------
Another discrepancy is how her maiden name is spelled: Creager or Craiger?
