Welcome to the Fagen branch of the family tree of
Alex,
Susan,
Brandon,
Ryan and
Shannon Fagen.
Anton and Catherine Föegen |
The reunion for descendants of John and
Mary Fagen was held on June 19, 2004 in Des Moines, Iowa. Learn more
about it here.
Anton and Catherine Föegen
are our Fagen ancestors who came to America from Germany about 1853. We are fortunate to
have a picture of the log cabin
in which they first lived in Lake County, Indiana.
The John Smith Carris family migrated
from New York to Ohio and finally became some of the first settlers in the Keota, Iowa area.
John Smith Carris was Walter Junior Fagen's
great great grandfather.
Hila Ann Tupper was John Smith Carris'
wife and Walter Junior Fagen's great great grandmother.
Read the historical account of the origin of the Tupper family and
their move from England to America.
Rovena Fry was Charlotte (Kirkpatrick)
Fagen's mother. Rovena's great grandfather was Jacob Fry,
one of the first settlers in Johnson County, Iowa. He is buried in the Church of Christ
cemetery in Frytown.
