Am still engaged in an on going search trying to document as many descendants of "Our CRAIG Family" as I might be able and am hoping to make contact with anyone who might be able and willing to assist in making as accurate and as complete a record of this family's descendants down through at least 1920 as might be possible.

Goodspeed's _History of Lincoln Co., TN_, p 887: J. H. C. DUFF was born in York Dist., SC, 26 Jan 1838, and remained with his parents until he reached his majority. He received a fair education in the common schools and afterward attended some time at Union Academy, Lincoln County, where he took a thorough course in surveying. At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in Company G, Eighth Tennessee Mulberry Riflemen, under Capt. William L. MOORE, but was afterward transferred to CARNE's Battery. He was in the battles of Perryville, KY, and Chickamauga, and was captured at the latter place and sent to Camp Morton, IN, where, Feb 1864, he scaled the prison walls, under the cover of darkness, and without being seen, succeeded in making his escape. He was afterward captured again in Giles County, and made his escape once more. In 1866 he went to Bethel, Lincoln County, and married Jane C. CRAIG, but immediately returned to his father's where he remained six years. This union resulted in the birth of nine children, eight of whom are living: Bessie C., Margaret E., Myrtle, Ruby, Henry N., Alfred F., Thomas D. and James B. F. In 1876 he was elected surveyor of Lincoln County for a term of two years. In 1885 he moved to the farm where he now resides. He is Independent in politics, is a Mason and an Odd Fellow, and he and wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His father, H. C. DUFF, was born in South Carolina, 28 Aug 1808, and in 1845 immigrated to Lincoln County, where he purchased seventy-six acres in the Fifth District, and where he located and still resides. He has since increased his estate to 590 acres, but has given his son 200 acres. In 1837 he married Eliza D. BROWN, who became the mother of our subject. Notes for Jane Campbell CRAIG "Jennie".
