She went by "Mel" and we always called her "Grandma Mel" by the time I knew her--she was my maternal great-grandmother. Also, her second husband, Tony Bertie Pierce, is represented with very incorrect dates in your table. He was born 13 October 1873 at Cainsville, Mo, and died 25 January 1898, when his son, my grandfather, was only two years old. He was killed in a railroad mishap; he was a signalman and fell from the train during a big snowstorm. Mel found his frozen body the next day in a snowbank. My mother, as a young girl, knew her own great-grandmother Jane Craig and called her "Grandma Jane." Some Mom's most vivid memories from childhood come from stories Grandma Jane told her of seeing her father (Roderick III) ride off on his horse to return to the Civil War after a brief visit home: he just took off across the yard and jumped the fence, as she told it, rather than going along the road and through the gate. He was captured and imprisoned soon after, as I heard it. Grandma Jane also remembered moving further west in a wagon train when she was very small. She had some great stories to tell about that, as well. My records have Roderick Craig, father of Jane, as the son of Roderick I instead of John Craig. I appreciate your work, which gives me an extra generation and another name (Jackson) to look into.
