For all those who expressed an interest in hearing the story I read in "Pioneer Families of Missouri" here goes word for word. CRAIG - One day, a great many years ago, as a ship was sailing frim an Irish port to America, a sailor named Toliver Craig fell overboard and was drowned. The next morning a boy baby was found on the deck of the vessel, with no one to claim him or take care of him. The ship was loaded with emigrants, among whom were his parents, who doubtless felt too poor to assume the care of the little fellow in the new country to which they weret going;so they took that method of throwing him upon the charities of the ship's crew. After some consultation it was decided to name the little waif for the lost sailor, and he was accordingly christened Toliver Craig.Ge grew to be a man, married, and had a son, whom he also named Toliver. The latter also grew to man's estate, married and and had a son whom he named Toliver, Jr. The latter maried Elizabeth Johnson of Virginia and removed to Scott County Ky during the early settlement of that state. The Indians were very hostile at the time and they lived three years in a fort. They had seven children-Jack, Elijah,William, Nathaniel,Mary,Nancy and Toliver.Jack, Elijah,William and Nancy married and lived in Tennessee. Nathaniel married Polly Ealey and lived in Ky. They had-William, Nancy, Martha, Robert, Ann and Mary all of whom settled in Missouri. Toliver married Patsey Wright an English lady, by whom he had Elizabeth, Poilly, Larkin, Permelia..................................... I stopped copying at this point as I was only interested in the Toliver Craig falling overboard. Do you all think this is yet another story of Tolliver and his supposed illigitimacy or some other Craig altogether? Kathy Hall
