Smothers > ALDALLAS Listowner Dear ALDALLAS: I have done a good bit of research on the Craig family, especially Robert and Martha Hayes Craig family from near Selma before, during and after the Civil War. I have had most of my questions answered about them and would be glad to help someone else who is researching some of these people. The Craigs originally came to Charleston from County Antrim, Ireland in 1789. The moved to Tennessee about 1807 and lived in Tennessee until 1817, 1818, 1820 when each of them moved to near Selma. Craig Hill Cemetery was named for this family. The matriarch of the family,Catherine ( Katy) Craig, was buried in Craig Hill in 1824 at the age of 84 years. Some of Robert and Martha (Patsy) Craig's children moved to Texas, some to Mississippi and some are buried at Prosperity Cemetery in Dallas County. Robert and Martha Hayes Craig are buried at Prosperity Cemetery. Most of these people were Associate Reformed Presbyterians. I will be glad to share my; information with anyone who needs it.
