Hi Lin, I just wanted to let you know that I finally received something from the Ssi office regarding the Craig Line. It shows that Albert G Craig was the father of my Ira Edward Craig. I dont know if you have an Albert G Craig on your side. Please let me know. Thanks Sherri > We have CRAIGS from Nebraska: > HOMER C. CRAIG b.1877 in Ulysses, NE, d.1955 in Auburn, NE. > His son, LLOYD LEROY CRAIG (my husband's grandfather) was b.1903 in > Lincoln, NE; d.1985 in Council Bluffs, IA. > Wonder whether your Bernard is connected??

There are a lot of Albert G. Craigs in my family, but so far I can't see a connection with the information posted. In our family the name Albert G. originates from a famous political figure of his time, Albert Gallatin. He was a member of Andrew Jackson's cabinet.

Sherri, No, sorry, I don't have an IRA CRAIG or an ALBERT CRAIG. Might be some unknown connection though. Lin

I've seen a lot of N. Carolina/Tennessee references lately, so I thought I'd throw out my brick wall: Richard Cragg/Craig b. 1/5/1773 Orange Co., NC, d. 6/05/1850 Perry Co., TN Married (1st) Frances Glamp/Glymph (12/28/1795 in Granville Co., NC)and had 10 kids. Married (2nd) Elizabeth Cates Wilson (1826/27 Maury Co., TN) and had 4 kids: 1. Elias, 2. Simpson T., 3. Solomon, 4. Ervin. Ervin (4th child of Richard/Elizabeth) was born in 1830, married Sarah A. Horner in Perry Co., TN., and died sometime after 1870 (showed up in that census). They had 7 kids: 1. John Calhoun, 2. Mary Evelyn, 3. Henry Louis, 4. Richard Cates ("Dickie"), 5. Thomas, 6. George W., 7. William Alonzo. George (6th child of Ervin/Sarah) was buried in DePriest Bend Cemetery in Perry Co., (Beardstown) TN. I have hit a brick wall in North Carolina. Anyone have any info. on Richard? Thank you, Lesia Craig Johnson jjohns43@bellsouth.net
