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.
