Surnames: CRAIG, CRAIGE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5519/4IQ.2ACEB/2462 Message Board Post: Is anyone researching William CRAIGE's family, parents, siblings, ancestors and children? There was a Wm. CRAIGE petition signer on the 'Petition of the Inhabitants of the Western Country' in 1784 to establish Franklin as a state. I am researching my CRAIG (or CRAIGE) family roots in TN before statehood. They were also in the state of Franklin territory, 1784-1788.
