In the most recent queries to CRAIG-L@rootsweb you list Elizabeth Craig and husband Joseph Comer. Bill Davis lists Joseph Comer as spouse of Francis Craig, and James Matthews as spouse of Elizabeth. Which is correct? Also is John Sims who married Mary Craig the son of Nancy Boswell Sims? And if so what is his father's name. Thanks. Ron Gollberg. In response: Bill Davis is right about the marriage of Elizabeth to James Matthews and Frances to Joseph Comer. I personally have no documentation regarding either Frances or Elizabeth and he has obviously done extensive documenting. I think what happened is I wrote the wrong husband's name in in listing the photos I have. I should have said "Frances Craig and her husband, Joseph Comer." The photos with entries made on the back by my grandmother say only: Joseph Comer and Mrs. Joseph Comer. Sorry about the error. The following is the descendant tree as I currently believe it to be for William Sims, father of John Sims who married Mary May Craig, Mary and John were step-siblings, as Mary's father, Richard Craig, married John's mother, Nancy Boswell, around 1853. She was his 4th wife.
