Loving Unkle
By axident I hapned to get acquaint with Mr. Hughs and he gave me an acct of you, otherways I have not heard from you this many years. It would be tedious to relate to you the various vicistudes of life that I have gone through since I left Pens (Pennsylvania). Let it suffice to tell you that I got safe by sea to Cara (Carolina) and married a certain Margaret Burns lived with her almost 4 years & she died. About 14 months after I married a Jean Hamilton and not loving that part of the world, I made an attempt for Kentucky which succeeded prosperously & I am settled on a small piece of land 1 mile from Milford Town. I always subsist by my trade and lives easy. I have acquired much knowledge in mettals since I left you. I work chiefly in silver work & gold watches and plating. I understand and make considerable profit thereby. Very few men I fear at engraving and carving in gold & silver and setting of rings, etc.
My Father and Mother is living yet in Carolina, and I think they will come to this country next Fall. They were in health the last letter from them. I have one sister living here, wife to a Samuel Boyd. There is a son of Grand Uncle William Campbell of Virginia lives 3 miles from us that is all the relations I have here. Uncle John and William was dead the last time I was in Pens. Uncle Tomy married shortly after I left there. I would be proud to hear from them all, particularly from Uncle Thos. for I think he will come to this part of the world yet.
Indeed every man that wants to live easy and well can do it here better than any place I ever seen, either Tradesman or Farmer. Please do rite by the bearer, he goes through your Town and is coming here shortly.

To Benjamin Campbell
Uniontown (Pa.)
Dear Unkle and Aunt This opportunity offers for your information of my situation in this world. I have had many dispensations of Providence, some prosporous, some adverse. Perhaps you heard of my loss of my first wife after having two children which is yet alive and well.
I married again in Carolina & has 3 children by the last wife all boys one of the others is a girl. I have traveled a great deal since my apprenticeship and I think this Kentucky state is the best poor man's country that ever was., plenty of provisions and cheap and abundance of business for any tradesman's labor& money tollerably plenty. God of his providential care and provision has gratiously bestowed plenty upon me and my family and I think that any man that has a rising family may with the use of a little industry and economy support them well here.
My father and Family is living here. They are all in good health. Six? is maried and four to marry. Father is old and much failed as likewise mother. I desire to have a few lines from you and give an account of our relatives as near as you can. I have not had a letter from any of you since I came to this country, only one from Uncle John's son John from Delaware State. I heard of your son John being at Lexington lately. It would have satisfied me much to have had a night's conversation with him.
If ever any of you be in this country again oblige me as far as to tarry with me a few days. Should fondly hear of Uncle Thomas - where he lives and how. Please to inform that I am solicitous that he should come to this country and I think that you would live better here than any other of the United States. It is glorious country flowing with milk and honey. We are all in good health at present. Father and mother send their respects to you both and family our compliments to you both and all enquiring friends. Fairwell,
Hugh and Jean Hagans

Boyds from the book "Pioneer Life" "Autobiography and Sermons of Elder Elijah Martindale" also Pioneer History of the Boyd Family" Belle Stanford, 1892 published in Indianapolis, Indiana by Carlon and Hollenbeck, Printers.
Isabella Higgins, wife of Samuel Boyd, was born in South Carolina, February 13, 1764. Her father, John Higgins was a native of Scotland. Her mother's name was Elizabeth Campbell.
She was also of Scotch-Irish descent . Samuel Boyd and Isabella Higgins were married in 1785. She was named in honor of the queen of Spain, and also had the honor of being escorted by Andrew Jackson in her youthful days. Her love settled on the one-eyed soldier of the revolution, who was an honest farmer and afterward became a faithful pioneer preacher. They first became members of the Presbyterian Church and afterward joined the Newlights. It was favorable for their vast progeny that they were inclined to go westward and seek more productive soil. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Tennessee and settled in a cabin home. While living there a great shadow fell across their pathway. One of Isabella's cousins in Carolina married a somewhat wealthy man and they arranged to visit their cousin in her new home in Tennessee. The road they were to travel was hilly, or rather mountainous, and unfrequented. At that time the only mode of travel was by horseback. They made their visit, but soon after they set out on their return trip they were murdered and their bodies left lying in the forest. Their saddles were left lying beside them, but they had been robbed and their horses taken. This left a sad memory on the minds of the youthful pioneers. They moved from Tennessee and settled in Madison County, Kentucky.

William Anderson HAGANS1 was born on 22 Mar 1832 in Fulton Co., IL. He died on 8 Jul 1911 in Ukiah, Mendocino Co., CA. Also known as Anner. Jeanne Miller lists him as a member of the 1853 Hagans-Cockrill wagon train. However, his published biography (below) indicates that he came to California during the earlier Cockrill immigration of 1851, and nothing is said about his possible return for the 1853 trip.
From biography in History of Mendocino County, California, by Lyman L. Palmer (San Francisco: Alley, Bowen & Co., 1880) page 528, 645-646:
William A. Hagans, whose portrait will be found in this history, was born in Fulton county, Illinois, March 22, 1832. When about eight years of age he, with his parents, moved into Bates county, Missouri, where they resided on a farm until 1851, when they crossed the plains to California. The father and one son had come to this State in 1849 and at the time the subject of this sketch came, he was accompanied by his mother, two brothers and one sister. The father and brother met them at the Sink of the Humboldt and returned with them, arriving at Sacramento September 17, 1851. They all stayed on a ranch which the father had previously bought, located in Yolo county, about twelve miles from Sacramento, until January, 1852, when they moved to Sonoma county and settled near Sebastopol. Here they followed farming, stock-raising, and dairying, for about one year; then moved upon a ranch about five miles from Petaluma. In August, 1855, the subject of this sketch, settled by himself on a ranch located on Mark West creek, about five miles above the old adobe house, where he followed stock raising and dairying until 1863, when he came to Mendocino county and brought a half interest in the Ukiah hotel, of his widowed sister. He took charge of the house until 1868, then settled on a farm about one mile below Ukiah, where he farmed for one year, then leased the Fountain House, which is located on the old road leading from Ukiah to Cloverdale. This house he conducted for two years, then, in company with a brother, E. B. Hagans, engaged in wool-growing in Lake county, where he remained about five years. He then, in November, 1876, returned to Mendocino county and brought the remaining interest in the Ukiah Hotel, which he has since conducted. His father is now living with him, while his mother died, December 25, 1874. Mr. Hagans married, January 9, 1865, Miss Miranda Case. By this marriage they have had one child, now dead. Parents: William Boyd HAGANS and Lucinda COCKRILL.
Spouse: Miranda CASE. William Anderson HAGANS and Miranda CASE were married on 9 Jan 1865. Children were: Edwin HAGANS.
Spouse: Mary CARTER. Children were: Willie HAGANS.

Pleasant Gap Township.
The topography of Pleasant Gap township is broken, mostly what is called locally, high prairie; but it is good agricultural land. It is watered principally by Double Branches and Willow creeks. Some timber is along the creeks.
History has written that those who settled in this township prior to 1839 were: the Osbornes, a large family from Illinois; two families of Requas in the southwest; Daniel Francis and two sons-in-law, Arthur and Constable; and Abram Towner, these latter being refugees from Mormon settlements in Jackson county, Missouri. Two families named Harris and Collins lived near the center of the township, Jimmy Ridge, the Walker family, and a family named Beatty. William Harvey came in 1842 from Texas and left for California in 1849. William Hagen located two miles north of the village of Pleasant Gap and went to California in '49. His brother who came at the same time, and at one time was county surveyor, left for California in 1852. Joseph Wix located, where his son now lives, in 1843. James Cockrell came some time prior to 1843, also James Cockrell, Jr. and also Larkin Cockrell and James, Jr. All went to California in '49. Henry Beaver came from Kentucky and went with the others, William Deweese and his sons, Jesse, Evan and Eliph, came from Illinois in 1844. Evan was killed in the battle of Lone Jack...
The first postoffice in the east part of the county was established in 1840, near where Pleasant Gap village now is and an old man named Anderson Cockrell was the first postmaster. A mail route was established from Boonville, Clinton, Pleasant Gap to Balltown, on the Little Osage river near where Horton now is.
From Allen County Kentucky (Order Book) Day Book 1826-1837, by Martha W. Jackson (Scottsville, KY, 1992) for Will Hagan (perhaps William or his father?):
p. 49. April Term 1829: JOHN MURPHY is appointed surveyor of the precinct of the road beginning at the Branch at JOHN THOMAS thence to the county line and the following hands ELIJAH SHIELDS, THO. SHIELDS, JOHN THOMAS and hands, ROBERT BLACKBURN hands, JOHN CARPENTERs hands, WILLSON CARPENTER, HUGH JUSTICE, HART WELL MOORE, JAS. HERRINGTON, WILL HAGAN, MICAJAH DUNNING and hands, BEN JACKSON assist said surveyor to keep said road in repair.
Colonel William B. Hagan, was a veteran of the 1831-1932 Black Hawk Indian War.
From a family history by Dr. John Baker:
Col. Hagans came out in the year 1849 from Missouri to California and settled in Petaluma on a ranch. He returned east again and made up a train of relatives of 31 wagons and started for California... There was no deaths on the trip... They brought 1000 head of cattle with them when they came west. They traveled in the wagons by day and did not always circle at night. The Indians came in camp once and took Uncle Williams Hagan's pinto stallion and rode him away. They also took one cow, but no one dared to interfere. Another time they followed and tried to take a couple of the girls (Aunt Adline and Cousin Helene Cockrill).
There were about 30 wagons in all and they were drawn by 4 to 6 oxen each. They came to the LaPlatte River which was up and they put logs on the sides of the wagons. There was a ferry but they wanted too much to cross. They met with severe weather at that river so they circled the wagons and built fires inside the circle. They took the northern pioneer route which ended at Sacramento. They milked the cows and put the milk in churns in the backs of the wagons and by traveling butter was made... One ox died so a milk cow was put in the yoke. Antelope and buffalo were killed for meat. The Indians set prairie fires, but as no trouble was wanted, no back fires were set...
After arriving from the east with the train, Col. Hagan and his family moved to Ukiah.
Listed in the 1850 Census for Bates Co., MO, living in District No. 6, dwelling #287, as William B. Hagans, age 42, a farmer born in Kentucky. Enumerated with Lucinda (a. 44, bp. KY), Alton[Oscar?] (a. 20, bp. IL), Anderson (a. 18, bp. IL), Cynthia (a. 16, female, bp. IL), Wallace (a. 12, bp. IL), and Edwin (a. 9, male, bp. IL).
In the California 1852 Census for Sonoma County (page 39, line 25) recorded August 19, 1852, it lists William B. Hagans (a 45 year old farmer) and his family right before James A. Cockrill's (a 36 year old farmer).
From E. B. Hagans, "Hagans" 1769 to 1887, p. 4:
In 1832, at the beginning of the "Black Hawk" war, Saml. C., Wm. B. and James Hagans enlisted and remained in service till the close of the war.
On pp. 11-12:
In 1849 Wm. B. Hagans James Cockrill and Oscar Fits Allen Hagans cross the plains to California, and in 1851 the other members of W. B. Hagans family followed to Cala. and joined him near Sacramento. They all moved to Sonoma Co. during the winter of 1851 and settled near where Petaluma was afterwards built.
In the summer of 1853 Larkin Cockrill (Jas. Cockrill's brothers) William Cockrill and Harrison Cockrill with their families also Henry Beaver a brother in law with his family moved to Cala. from Mo. and settled at various points in Sonoma Co. being among the first families to settle in the western part of the County.
From California Wagon Train Lists Volume 1, by Louis J. Rasmussen (San Francisco Historic Records, San Francisco: 1994), p. 166, a W. B. and O. F. Hagans show up on a list published in the Sacramento Union of 21 September 1852, of overland emigrants who arrived in Placerville during the second week of September 1852. This is an odd date in that it is between James Cockrill's return trip and the Cockrill-Hagans emigration of 1853(left Missouri April 24, 1853 and arrived in California on October 1, 1853). No other name associated with the Cockrill family is on this list.
From the biography of his son in the History of Mendocino County, California, by Lyman L. Palmer (San Francisco: Alley, Bowen & Co., 1880), pages 645-646, it infers that William Boyd Hagans moved his family to Bates County, Missouri from Fulton County, Illinois around 1840. William and his son (Oscar) came to the California Gold Fields in 1849. The rest of the family, except William Anderson Hagans, came out in 1851 (with James A. Cockrill and his family) and met William and Oscar at the Sink of the Humbolt, and the family arrived in Sacramento, September 17, 1851. They lived at a ranch previously bought by William about twelve miles from Sacramento in Yolo County. In January of 1852 they moved upon a ranch about five miles from Pelaluma. Though it is not mentioned in the 1880 biography, William's family was left living in tents on a side of a hill at this site, while he unexpectedly had to return to Bates County, taking on the role of his recently deceased brother-in-law, James, in bringing the remaining Cockrill family members to California in 1853. After his wife died, William ended up living with his son,William Anderson, who owned and operated the Ukiah Hotel in Mendocino County. Parents: Wlliam HAGANS and Elizabeth SMITH.
Spouse: Lucinda COCKRILL. William Boyd HAGANS and Lucinda COCKRILL were married on 21 Mar 1828 in Allen Co., KY. Children were: Oscar Fits Allen HAGANS, William Anderson HAGANS, Cynthia Blackburn HAGANS, Lafayette HAGANS, Wallace Montgomery HAGANS, Edwin Ruthren Bruce HAGANS, Mary Frances HAGANS.
