Krealyn ... I noticed the name Puryear to which I have a Craig connection....A Randolph Rice m Ruth Puryear and their daughter, Mary W. Rice married Frederick Craig Sr. son of John W. Craig and Elizabeth Huffman. Mary died before 1846 and Frederick remarried a Lucinda Briton-Powell Hunter. One of Frederick and Ruth's children .... John Rice Craig m Lucinda Wheat and had Mary, John H. And James ... Frederick was born about 1796 and Mary about 1800 .. they were married in Lancaster, Garrard County, KY ..... Mary W. Rice Craig had a sister, Sarah Ann Rice who married a John Bennington. They had a child (the only one I have noted) Morenda Benningfield ... Morenda married James C. Caulk and that is as far as I have. However, it certainly seems as if we have some connections via the Caulk, Rice and Puryear families .... what do you think?? Gary D.
