    3. I'm new to the list, and desperately hoping to open some family doors in Willliamson Co. My grandmother, Dedaricka Craig, b.1908, was daughter of Frank Craig. He married her mother, Agnes Koobs of Tazewell Co., sometime before Deda's birth, but they separated before she was born and Deda never knew her father. Family tradition has it that Frank and Agnes divorced around 1910, and that he then died somewhere around 1920. No one knows. Frank's parents were Robert Craig d.1937, and Sara Catherine Thaxton Craig, b.1857 and d.1946. In her obituary, her children were listed as Lucinda, Roy (L.L.), Eva, Pearl, and another daughter, as well as Frank. Two of her children were reported as being deceased at the time of Sara's death. Her parents were James Richard Thaxton and Margaret (or Mary) Ramsey. My mother, Deda's dau., remembers visiting the Craig family when she was a child, during the 30's and early 40's. Before my grandmother died, she became depressed and said she didn't think her parents were ever married, but there is no evidence that this is the case. If anyone has any info to share, I'd love to have it! Thanks, Pam Hartman [email protected]
