Does anyone have a connection between the CRAIG and HARGETT families in NC or SC between 1750 and 1800? I suspect that some of the early Hargetts married Craigs but haven't found them yet. / Lloyd Hargett

My families Cherokee Blood lineage: Our earliest traceable ancestor so far is Ludovic Grant Born 1698 in Scotland, and died 1755, in Charleston South Carolina . Ludovic Grant was the Clan Chief of the Grant (also spelled Graunt) holdings in Scotland. After losing the the war in the Jacobite Rebellion,he was captured by the British and banished to the "New World". Ludovic arrived on the Savannah in the Carolinas and moved in with the Cherokees, his cousins all went to Boston and the Carribean. According to the Sir Alexander Cuming Journal of 1731, he with the aid of Ludovic Grant , convinced seven young Cherokees (Including future Chief Attakullakulla,The Little Carpenter) to visit England, and King George II. It was an attempt by the King to recruit the Cherokees to fight the French. In a statement recorded on page 301 of the Charlestown, South Carolina Probate Court , in the book of "1754-1758", in a sworn statement of January 12,1756, says"It is about 30 years since I went into the Cherokee Country where I have resided ever since, I speak their language". According to the Emmet Starr Journal of 1726, Ludovic Grant married an unknown woman of the Wolf Clan as his second wife. Ludovic Grant: Blood: Scottish. Christened April 12, 1702 Irvine Scotland. Emigrated (1) May 07,1716 from Scotland to the "New World". Emigrated (2) 1726, To the Cherokee Nation as an Indian Trader. Note: "Indian Countryman" of Cheoah. Occupation Fur Trader. (Starr notes B657) Child of Ludovic Grant and the unknown Cherokee woman was: Mary grant, born 1727, Cherokee Nation East,Tennesee, died unknown in Cherokee nation East, Tennesee Mary grant married William Emory born 1720 in England died unknown in Cherokee Nation East, Tennesee. Child of Mary Grant and William Emory is (one of Four) Elizabeth Emory born 1748 Cherokee Nation East died unknown. Elizabeth Emory married her second husband John Rogers Sr. born 1755 died unknown. Blood: English. Occupation Trader. Note; John Rogers Sr. started the Rogers surname which include Chief Willian Charles Rogers, Diana( Rogers) Houston (General Sam Houstons wife) and Will Rogers. Child of Elizabeth Emory and John Rogers Sr. Was one of Four: Charles Rogers born 1774 died unknown Charles Rogers married Rachel Hughes born 1790 died after 1851 Note: Rachel Hughes is descended from a long line of famous Cherokees. Including NANYE-HI FIVEKILLER also known as Nancy Ward. Born 1738 in Chota, City of Refuge, North Carolina Cherokee Nation, now Tennesee. She died in Womankiller Ford, Cherokee Nation (now Polk County Tennesee) There was a tremendous amount of information written about Nancy ward. She is mentioned in Teddy Roosevelt's Book On The West, the Virginia State Papers, the South Carolina State Papers, In Mooneys Book and The Draper Collection. There is a chapter of the American Daughters Of The Revolution name after her in Tennesee and there is a Descendants of Nancy Ward Association in Oklahoma. As a child she was called "Wild Rose". She was later called Nanye`hi. This means; One who is with the Nunnehi (Spirit People) .After being lost and having a vision of the Nunnehi helping her through the night. In 1755 she was given the title "Ghi hau" or Beloved Woman, for her heriocs in battle. During the batle of Taliwa against the creeks, she was chewing the bullets her husband Kingfisher was using. He was shot and killed . She picked up his rifle and joined the battle. Still in her teens and the widowed mother of two children, when vaulted into the high office of Chieftainess. She was an Ambassador and peace Negotiator for her people. She brought the first Cattle into the Cherokee Nation. Nancy ward had a vision where she saw "a great line of our people marching on foot. Mothers with babies in their arms. Fathers with small children on their backs. Grandmothers and Grandfathers with large bundles on their backs. They were marching West, and the Unaka (white) soldiers were behind them. They left behind a trail of corpses-the weak the sick who could not survive the journey". This drean proved to be Prophetic. On December 29, 1835, thirteen years after her death, a "Removal Treaty" was signed. the Cherokee called this journey the "Yunna-Da-Ult-Sun-Yi " The Trail Where They Cried. The Trail Of Tears. Nancy Ward aka NANYE-HI FIVEKILLER was of the Wolf Clan. She lived in the Overhills Settlement They were called the Overhills People (Cherokee) She died in 1822. Other famous ancestors in this line are: Chief Tame Doe born 1700 died 1775, and Supreme Chief of the Cherokee nation Amatoya Moytoy, Born 1674 died uknown Child of Charles Rogers and Rachel Hughes is One of eight children: Levi Rogers born 1808 died unknown.

My Brick wall in this line is the Children of Levi Thomas Rogers and Susan (Smith) Rogers. My line (Cherokee Blood only) as hand written by an aunt several years past is: Sallie Bullock Roll# non citizen Thomas Cookson roll# 316 Delilah (Cookson) Craig roll# 29995 Nanny Ratliff Roll# 4852 Amon Hale Craig Roll# unknown John Edward Craig Roll# Non citizen Levi (Rogers) Craig (Female) My Grandmother Roll# too late Thomas Jefferson Craig My Grandfather roll# 1294 Thomas Dewey Craig (my father) born April 11. 1928 died August 11, 1996. This line traces my families known Cherokee Blood Line which is why it seems a little Cattywampus.

Hi- I have gotten a couple of responses about Thornton Craig, M.D. He is not in my lineage but I ran across part of a biography on him. If anyone is interested, I know where to send to get it. I do have a biography on Fred Craig, a prosperous farmer in Davisville (now Davis, Yolo County, California). He was born in New York but his parents died when quite young and he moved to Ohio to live with an uncle. He married Juliette A. Royce. The biography is in a book I have on Northern California published in 1891 and he was alive then. If anyone interested in Fred I can copy the biography. Judy Cato, somewhere I ran across a reference to Kitty Cox and it said her middle name was Sedgwick. Have you seen this? I can run it down it if you think it is promising. Cassie

Jim; Only info so far is what is published in several places. The actual documents were last seen stored in a bank in Spartanburg SC. I have the obit for Joshua S.Craig who was the last known holder of the documents. I never made time to get the disposition of his property but the December 2, 1926 Laurens Adivsor had a pretty good description of his property dispersion. His two Brothers Samuel J. Craig of Ora and Niles A Craig of Greenwood and two sisters Isabelle E. and Elisabeth Craig of Ora. I'd be glad to mail a copy to you . Maybe, being a lawyer you may be able to get the probate report and find where the documents are. Where are you moving to?? I'm in Ohio now. Hope to retire next year and get to full time research on my ancestors. Let me know what you want. Did I send you the "Godfrey , a family of upstate SC", info. lonnie

Lonnie: Sorry, that I have not written lately but it has been real busy around the office lately. In fact, I may be changing jobs and moving. I was just wondering have you found any information (documentation) that would confirm that our Craig family arrived on board the "Betty" in 1773? Unfortunately, I have not had much time to research lately. However, once everything settles down I will start hunting again. Thanks, James Craig

My great grandfather Nathaniel was born 1844 in Marshall County, Alabama. Nathaniel was one of several sons of Lenard Craig who settled in Marshall County around 1830.
