Hello I am interesting in the E-Mail that was sent in by Penny Wilson. Requesting if there was any thing on the Craig family's in Stewart C. book? In the early 1800's. She listed James, Thomas and William Craig all were in Stewart Co. in 1803. My great grandmother was Mary Martha Craig (b) 11/30/1853, (d)8/4/1900 in Ark. She (M) Wilson Henry Stephens 12/22/1869-70 in Weakly Co. TN. I would like to know who her parents were and if they were some of the same family of these Craig's? If you would like more on my family I can give you more.

Dear Mary, My gr gr grandfather had a daughter named Martha ( not sure about Mary as a first name) but according to the 1850 Benton County TN census she was 11 yrs old and born in TN. She is my gr grandmother, M. Elizabeth Craig's sister. M. Elizabeth Craig married Thomas A. Watson in 1863 in Benton County. The 1850 Benton County TN census as far back with solid documentation I have on my Craig ancestors: Census info: Thomas Craig age 44 occupation: miller born in TN abt. 1806 Sarah (Allen) (2nd wife) age 37 born in NC Martha age 11 born in TN M. Elizabeth age 9 (my gr grandmother) born in TN These above two daughters are by Thomas's 1st unknown wife Angeline age 6 born in TN Charlotte age 1 born in TN Susan Craig (listed this way on census; may have been a relative) age 21 born in TN There were several other Craig's in Benton County and in Carrol County TN at this time and if you want the info please let me know and I will send it to you. Right off the top of my head in 1850 there was a Asa Craig in Carroll County TN, Charles Freeman Craig, and Eli Craig along with my Thomas in Benton County TN. During the early years of 1800 in this area of TN counties were formed out of each other ( Stewart, Humphreys and Benton) someone on this list probably knows a lot more about how and when they were formed than I do. Maybe someone would not care to explain how these counties formed from each other. I know there were Craig families at least 3 in the Stewart County & Humphreys County TN area during the early 1800's but not how they were related to each other. Seems like I read in some info about Craig's going to Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri and back and forth from IL to TN and Mo. Also, my Craig's were related and aquainted with the Pressons, Watsons, Cottinghams, possibly Wilsons, Wards, and Poyners and Greers. Do any of those names come up in your Craig's. I will be glad to share info with you because I would love to know about my Craig's also. Who knows, there may be a link! Looking forward to hearing from you. ----- Original Message ----- From: Thornburg, Mary <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2000 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [DC] "old" Stewart County book > > > > > Hello I am interesting in the E-Mail that was sent in by Penny Wilson. > Requesting if there was any thing on the Craig family's in Stewart C. book? > In the early 1800's.
