In researching thi= s family, I learned that one of his daughters, Esther L. CRAIG WILLIAMS, = died in Joplin in 1996. When I found her obituary, I read that her grand= son, David Williams, wrote a children's book about her early life. It is= entitled Grandma Essie's Covered Wagon (ISBN 0-679-80253-3). I was thri= lled to discover that our public library had a copy of the book, and in i= t was a picture of Essie, her siblings, and her parents John Samuel CRAIG= and Hattie LARKINS CRAIG. The book never mentions the surname CRAIG, bu= t it tells a lot about the family's travels from Missouri to Kansas to Ok= lahoma and back to Missouri.
