Thomas Craig was an older brother to my gg grandfather, Robert Craig. And James D. Craig was the son of another brother ( James) of my ancestor, Robert Craig. James D. moved to San Francisco in about 1875 and died there in c 1881. James D. Craig's sister, Nancy Craig Gill,(cousin of my great grandfather, Robert M. Craig) was the mother-in-law of Reese Darrington Gayle. B. H. Craig was most probably Benjamin Hogan Craig b. 1835 and was a son of James D. Craig. It was for a decendant of B. H. Craig that Craig Air Force Base in Selma, Al. was named. James D. Craig wrote of Cahaba, "We enjoyed , up until the war, the best of society, churches, schools, and sociable intercourse not excelled by any community of it's size." Later, however, he moved into Selma and then to California. What size is this map? And I suppose it was drawn in color? Would love to see it. Sincerely, Suzanne Shuttleworth Coats Forest, Ms.
