My Grandmother gave me her known history of my Grandfather's family before he died in 1980. My Grandfather was born Dec. 26, 1910. I'm not sure where. My Father grew up in the Forsyth, GA. area. My Grandmother told me that my Grandfather's family was from Alabama and (I can't recall which) the 4 states north of Georgia. My Great-grandfather's name was Joseph Alfred Craig (my Grandmother told me she had seen a picture of his Mother, supposedly a full-blooded Cherokee, dressed in full Indian attire. Her "Christian" name was "Suzy/Susie(Susan?)". Joseph's wife was named Leeoma Savanah Chast(-ain, -een or -ine). She had two brothers, John and Joseph (who married a Josie (maiden-name unknown) and had a child with the initials J.F. Chast(-ain, -een or -ine). I've talked to someone who has a Josephine Leeoma Chastain and a James F. Chastain who married a Josie Goss. I've found another lead: Jasper Craigg of Lee Co., AL had a son Joseph W. Craigg who moved to Muscogee, GA (these names match some of mine). And today someone sent me this piece of info: Name: Leeoma S Craig Death Date: 04 Apr 1952 Death County: Calhoun As tempting as this all is, I'm still trying to find a definite connection or other link. Please contact me if you have any information! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
