In fact, my ggrandfather was born in Habersham Co. in 1851. These Craigs were in the Burke and Cherokee counties of NC and intermarried and migrated with the Connollys. Unfortunately, I don't have a Joseph, but maybe some of the info on my Craigs will give you some leads. My earliest known Craig was William (d. 1794 in Burke Co., NC). His will names children Thomas, Samuel, James, William, Mary, Henry, Pleasant, and Elijah. I descend from Pleasant, but he died before the families left Burke Co. Pleasant's son, Elijah (b. 1812 Burke Co., NC), married Cynthia Emaline Connolly(b. 1820 Burke), and they were the parents of my ggrandfather. Elijah's brother, William Cyrus Craig (b. 1809 Burke) married Cynthia's sister, Catherine (b. 1810 Burke). William Cyrus Craig and Catherine Connolly stayed in Habersham Co., GA (their region became White Co. when it was formed in 1860). William died in 1880, I don't know about Catherine. The children I know about were Cyrus, Nellie Caroline, P. Emaline, and Elijah, but I haven't followed them. The Connolly patriarch was Cyrus Payne Connolly (b. 1779 Northumberland Co., VA, d. 1856 Wright Co., MO) married abt. 1800 to Mary Elizabeth Callicott (b. 1776 Prince Edward Co., VA, d. 1866 Wright Co., MO). I hope you can make some use of this info. Ruth Ann Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
