John Craig was listed in the Census of Smith County, Tennessee as early as 1820, and was a resident of Rawl's Creek. He was again listed in 1830. He died there in 1836, and a division of his land was made and recorded in the Circuit Court Enrollment Book 1825-1842, page 443. This document states that two tracts were involved in the settlement, one of 100 acres and another of 25 acres. The names of his children and heirs were as follows: (No wife is named, and she presumably was already deceased) (1) James Craig, (2) Jane Craig, (3) John Craig, (5) Rachael Craig, wife of Willie Harris, (6) Hannah Craig, wife of Basil Davis, (7) Joseph Craig, (8) Elizabeth Craig, wife of William Vencent, and (9) Nancy Craig, wife of William L. Keath. I am a direct descendant of James Craig, who remained in Smith County, Tennessee. His wife was Susan, maiden name unknown. According to the 1850 U.S. Census of Smith County, he was born in North Carolina circa 1787. Known children were Martha Craig (b. ca. 1831), William Craig (b. ca. 1833), Hiram Moses Craig (b. ca. 1820), Mary Craig (b. 1814. d. 1848, married John Litchford of Smith County, Tennessee); and possibly Rachel, wife of James Mofield of Smith County. There may have also been others. John Craig, Jr., married Nancy Bishop of Smith County, Tennessee, and I recently learned that they moved to Clay County, Illinois, and had children there. I do not know what became of the other children of John Craig, Sr. I would like to know where John Craig, Sr. lived in North Carolina before moving to Smith County, Tennessee, the name of his wife, and the whereabouts of his other children. Any information regarding any of these Craigs would be greatly appreciated. Erick Montgomery
