Dan and Alice said: "Does anyone on the list know who the mothers of James Marshall Craig and Maudie Frances Craig (Parker) were? Their father was widowed between their births, so they did not have the same mother, but on some records they are both listed as Harlows. Were they sisters? "James was born 1896, Barren County, KY; died 1944, same. His obituary lists Maudie Craig Parker as a half sister. Son of James M. Craig. Maude Frances Craig was born 1901, Barren County, daughter of James M. Craig and Belle Harlow. On the 1900 census, James M. Craig is listed as a widower. I was hoping someone on the list would know this family and could explain who the mothers are." Hello, I have worked a lot on the Harlows. James Montgomery Craig (24 Nov 1857 - 1 Mar 1923) father: James B. Craig mother: Mary Higdon James Montgomery Craig 1st married to Mary A. Harlow (20 Jul 1855 - 28 Oct 1888) dau of Marshall Harlow and Elizabeth Husley. If this death date is correct, then she is the mother to the 2 children listed below. But not to Maude.

If she was born in 1873, I don't believe that she is the sister of Mary A. Harlow, I don't believe that Marshall was living by 1873. James Montgomery Craig and Mary A. Harlow had 2 children. 1.

Perhaps if you could find the obit of Maudie Francis Craig PARKER, it might list her mother. If anyone has a source that tells the maiden name of Belle -, I would love to know also. Karen
