Joseph Craig and Sallie's children were Hattie, William (Billy) my gfather, Charlie, Louis, and Lonnie. Where did Lizzie and Alice come from? I'll be watching. Hope someone has something.

I'm sorry Ladonna. I called Dad and he told me about Lizzie and Alice. Elizabeth was married to Louie Lane and lived in Brownwood, TX. Dad said Louie was a Mayor or some kind of public official there. Alice was married to Walter Bilbrey and lived in Blanket, TX. If anyone has anything...I mean ANYTHING... on Joseph (Joe) Craig who married Sarah (Sallie) A. B. Attaway in Marshall Co. Ala. on 18 Feb 1881 by J. T. Evans, Minister of the Gospel. Ladonna and I would be most grateful. Also, most of Joe's children were born in Ala. but, Lonnie's death notice in the paper said he was born in Florida (I guess about 1900).
