Yes, Penny, please send me what you have on the Craigs. I don't live too awfully far from Blount County, so maybe I can get over there. I'm in the mountains of North Caolina on the borders of Tennessee and Virginia. I was born in Anderson County, Tennessee.

Dear Ima, I think that somehow James Craig II and Thomas Craig may be related but I have not made the connection yet. I have been researching Thomas Craig (my grgr grandfather) who was on the 1850 Benton County TN census. On the 1840 Carroll Co. TN census index is the widow of James Craig II, Ann (Alexander) Craig and a Thomas Craig.Thomas Craig on the 1850 Benton Co. TN census says he was born on TN. When I couldn't find out any more information on my 1850 Thomas Craig then I started researching the other Craig's in this area. Stewart County, Humphries County, and Benton County were all formed out of each other back in the early 1800's so county lines moved around. I looked and searched first through early Stewart County TN (on the computer and research from a cuz who lives up there) 1803 petition signed by some Craig's.I have eliminated one family of Craig's that were in Humphreys Co. TN (formed from Stewart County) and have their family history. They moved to Humphreys County in 1809 and in the fall of 1820, they moved to Alabama. I will be glad to share with you what information I have gathered in my search and I can send you a Carroll County TN court minutes book telling about the widow of James Craig II supeoning one of his sons William about a non culpative will, if you would like to have it. I don't have any information on a Mary Craig but Thomas Craig's 2nd daughter was named Mary Elizabeth (my great grandmother) b. 1841 TN. I think that it may be reasonable to assume that the Craig's from Maury County TN and Blount may be related but the hard thing to do is link them to one another. Do you have any information about a Thomas Craig tied in with the Maury Co. and Blount County TN Craig's? I wish that I could go to that area for a week or so and do some research and get with my cousin who lives in Henry County TN and go over what she has gathered. Let me know if you would like me to send you what I have.

For the parents of any ancestor, double his or her number for the father, and then add one for the mother. For any ancestor's child, divide the ancestor's number by two and drop halves. Full dates and places are provided, when known, for the birth, death and marriage of each ancestor (but note the exception below), with places before dates. After each forebear, following a comma, is his or her birthplace, then birthdate, a dash, and death place and date. After death dates for men follows a comma and then a marriage place and date. Former or later wives of male ancestors are omitted; former or later husbands of female ancestors are included, since the latter often thus married or died bearing different surnames. Although no rigid pattern is followed and user convenience is here the guide, when towns are known counties are usually omitted (pertinent cited sources usually designate counties, however, in case two towns or areas in a single state may have the same name), and when towns or cities are listed repeatedly in the same table states are often omitted.

Do you think that James CRAIG II and Thomas Craig are connected to my Mary CRAIG? She married Oliver ALEXANDER and they lived in Blount County and Maury County, Tennessee. Mary's and Oliver's son, Benjamin Grayson ALEXANDER, went to Haywood County, Tennessee. Since James also married an ALEXANDER and they are in the same counties as my ALEXANDERs and CRAIGs, I thought that there might be a connection. Does anyone know who Mary CRAIG's parents were?

I'm sorry Ladonna. I called Dad and he told me about Lizzie and Alice. Elizabeth was married to Louie Lane and lived in Brownwood, TX. Dad said Louie was a Mayor or some kind of public official there. Alice was married to Walter Bilbrey and lived in Blanket, TX. If anyone has anything...I mean ANYTHING... on Joseph (Joe) Craig who married Sarah (Sallie) A. B. Attaway in Marshall Co. Ala. on 18 Feb 1881 by J. T. Evans, Minister of the Gospel. Ladonna and I would be most grateful. Also, most of Joe's children were born in Ala. but, Lonnie's death notice in the paper said he was born in Florida (I guess about 1900).

My Summa/Summy/Summey (Sumi)etc family are Swiss. They also came to Lancaster Co., PA. They also called themselves Pennsylvania Dutch sometimes... Also have also heard Black Dutch....but found no Indian heritage that I know of...So I do not know why. Some of them went South to Va and the Carolina then whe Ohio River Valley opened some went to IN and IL etc By both that route and the southern route many made it to Texas. Some of the Craigs seem to have done the same thing. Paula Ima Stephens wrote: > > I need to add a note about my last message. The Pennsylvania Dutch were not > Dutch. They were German.
