My grandparents were from GA. My grandmother only knew that my G grandfather was Joseph Alfred Craig. She also thought he had a brother, William. What I've learned from censuses was that my GG grandmother was from TN. My grandmother said that she was a Cherokee with the given name Suzy (Susie?). Doing a search of the 1880 censuses, I found a J.R. Craig who was born about 1873 (the existing censuses of my G grandfather, Joseph Alfred Craig, that I've found indicate he was born around 1872). It also lists 2 "W." Craigs as siblings. These are all from Crockett Co., TN. Now, I could see how a J.A. could be misread as a J.R. and one of those W's could be a William. The thing that really raised my hopes was when I found that their mother, S.S. Craig was Susan (Coffman) Craig. Do you know if there was any Cherokee connection to this family? My grandmother told me she had seen a photo of "Suzy" dressed in full Indian attire. I've traced most of my other family surnames back to Europe or so, but my own surname, Craig, I keep running into dead ends.
