Notes:

James Crago was granted land in Putnam County, Va about 1860.

I am beginning to wonder if James was actually married to Sarah E. McCall at all.

Susan Jane (Scott) Craigo's death record shows that she was married to James Crago at the time of her death on 28 August 1878.

If James Crago did wed Sarah E. McCall it would have had to been a very brief marriage. James married Frances Price 21 August 1881.

According to the late Kenneth Collett Crago, James Crago was married to Susan Jane Scott. And Susan was the Aunt of Mary Elizabeth Scott that married John Madison Crago.

I have not been able to confirm that information but I believe it is probably true. Kenneth C. Crago was a descendant of James Crago through his son John Madison Crago.
