Later, it struck me to check under McCraven and and found a will listed for John McCraven probated May of 1833, and naming only a daughter, Elzabeth Hood, who received the old plantation; but it does say that an entry of 80 A is to sold and the proceeds used to pay my debts, and the remainder is to be divided equally among my SONS and DAUS., who are not named. Wit: J.M. Hood and James Parks. I did not know if the 1833 date was compatible with your research, so I provided the info for your considertion. Separate references show other McCravens: Evaline McCraven and a Jannet (Miller) McCraven. Also found is a will for Evaline McRaven, and an Adam McRaven is found as a surveyor in Mecklenburg Co.
