This is a periodic search for anyone who might be related to my gggrandfather, Thomas Grant. Thomas Grant was born about 1778 and died in 1836 in Marshall County, TN. His year of birth was derived from a Marshall County court deposition taken in July, 1838, wherein his age was listed as "60," though it could be in error. Thomas married Sarah Glover, sister of Christina Glover, who married James Davis. They had a number of children: 1. Howard b. abt. 1802 2. John b. abt. 1805 m. Martha Shannon January 1, 1838 3. Richard G. b. Feb. 22, 1808 m. Adaline Caroline Fowler abt. 1829 4. Mary Margaret b. abt. 1810 m. David R. Looney 5. Levinia b. abt. 1814 m. Early Reasonover Jan. 1835 6. James Davis (my ggrandfather) b. Jan. 6, 1818 m. Sarah Elizabeth Talley Jul. 14, 1840. After her death, m. Tennie Caroline Talley Jan. 6, 1869 7. Mary "Mollie" Virginia b. Jan. 27, 1857 m. John M McMillian Jan 27, 1875 8. Minnesota "Minnie" Talley b. bet. 1859-1860 m. Patrick Taylor Calvert Dec. 22, 1874 9. Victoria b. Jun. 2, 1862 10. Steven D. b. Dec. 20, 1864 There have been several stories passed down through time regarding the early life of my Thomas Grant, none of which I can confirm. Perhaps, one of them is true. Because several brothers and parts of the country are mentioned, there may be some other Grant lineages around that may be connected to Thomas Grant. Here is what I have been told by family members: According to information handed down by Talley Grant of Franklin, TX (date unknown), Thomas and two brothers came directly from Scotland. One brother apparently settled in Maine, one in Pennsylvania and the remaining brother moved to Ohio. According to the story, Thomas ended up in Kentucky, possibly as the result of being orphaned and indentured to a farmer to learn the farming trade. Another story circulating through the family is that the three brothers fled Scotland when England took over the lands and took everything the Scots owned, leaving them with only pieces of land to live on. Their traditions and clothing attire were considered treason by the British and the Scots could be thrown in prison for such displays. As a result of the oppression, many Scots fled their country for America. Because they were virtually poor at that point, they indentured themselves for seven years to other families to gain passage to America. Thomas and his brothers were believed to have been indentured. They may have arrived on the Carolina Coast and migrated west, however, most suggest that those coming from Scotland landed around the Upper East Coast. We know that he later moved to Tennessee and settled in Maury County. Recently, I have located some other Thomas Grant's who were in the Revolutionary War and enlisted in 1776 in Massachusetts. One served with his father, Thomas Grant, in his father's Company and John Glover's Regiment. He was married to Lydia Stacy and they lived in Marbleshead, Essex County, MA. Another Thomas Grant, from Noblesborough, Lincoln County, MA, enlisted in 1775 in John Glover, Jr's Company and John Glover (Sr.)'s Regiment. The age of these Grant's make them prime candidates as parents of my Thomas Grant; however, it is only a chance. I have no evidence to suggest the relationship, but am seeking anyone who can confirm or dispute it. I have been participating in a DNA study through FamilyTreeDNA.com, wherein we now have 79 Grant's in the project. We have several matches in the group and I match closely with three of them. The lineage of the other participants is most interesting, however, we have yet to find the common link. I am at a distinct disadvantage in that I can only go back to the 5th generation, while others go back much further. If you have run into a brickwall and can not find any new information about your lineage, and are a male Grant, you might want to consider participation in the Grant DNA study. Who knows, we may be related! Allen Grant <'\\\>< http://home.houston.rr.com/agrant/genealogy/granthis.htm

Randy: The Craig family that you refer to in Marshall County still resides on the old Craig home-place. A son of this Craig family operates a successful realty and auction company in Shelbyville.

I, too, am a descendant of Tolliver Craig, but I am likely looking for a Craig in Maury Co. who is not from that family. I am a descendant of William Craig (c. 1760/70, Orange Co., VA - March 1834, Bedford Co., TN), the son of Tolliver Craig Jr. and Elizabeth Johnson/Johnston. William married Mary Taylor, daughter of Capt. Jonathan Taylor of Clarke Co., KY, in 1799 in Montgomery Co., KY. They moved to Logan Co., KY and then to Richmond in southwest Bedford Co. I am descended through their son, Robert Taylor "Old Hickory" Craig whose farm ended up in Marshall Co., TN as the lines shifted. Robert Craig's daughter Mary Ann married George Ray and moved to Independence Co., AR and then Christian Co., MO, where their descendants married into the McConnells, Kenamores and other lines. William Craig had a brother, Johnston, who is said to have married and moved to Maury Co., but I always had doubts about the story. I suspect I am looking for a descendant of the Orange Co., NC Craig family who moved to Maury. Thanks for the information on Ann Burton. I am familiar with Craig Links from my research in the early 1990s.

Sorry gang about being so late in getting back to this topic. My mother got very ill and entered the hospital right after I posted about the books. She is still in the hospital and will remain there until at least next weekend. So I am very far behind. So if you have sent a request and have not heard from me that is the reason. Some of you have asked about the surnames. I do not have a complete listing of surnames but here is what I can tell you as far as surnames go. In the picture book there is no prinicipal surname and no actual genealogy data at all. The book is a collection of pictures from various spots around Maury County and some of the classes of the Hay Long High School from various years. In the Sandy Hook book the main surnames are Attkisson, Bassham, Duke, Pickard, Lasley, Kennedy, Lindsey, Workman, Pugh, Crowley, Chavers and a few others. It is a book about families who lived in the areas of Rockdale, Sandy Hook, Pugh Town, and Sheepneck. I have not looked at one of the Hugh Cooper books in quite a few years, but the book is principally about the Cooper family who migrated to Tennessee from Fishing Creek area of South Carolina. Hope this helps. I will try to get all the e-mails about this answered as soon as possible.

Don't have any information in my notes. Sorry. Susan

Susan and all, By chance, in your information about the Craigs from Orange Co., do you happen to have any information about a Fanny Norman? I know there is a connection between the Craigs and Normans in Maury Co. Unfortunately, I have not been able to connect my Fanny Norman to any Norman family. She married Josiah Green on Feb. 6, 1823 in Maury Co. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide.

Susan, I'm just trying to find a Craig who was married in the late 1830s or early 1840s to Margaret Kenamore -- possibly with a license from Giles Co. I suspect this Craig was from the families of James D. Craig or Robert Craig who lived in Civil District 7 of Maury Co. during this time period. I suspect this marriage ended in divorce because Margaret took back her maiden name later in life, when she was living in Christian Co., MO, but she was called Craig in family legend and her mother's will. Thanks, Randy McConnell

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh? That is where it gets interesting. My husband is a descendent of Sally Bugg Foster and her first husband , Thomas Craig. They were married on June 6th, 1872 and has Callie about 1875 and Jessie about 1877. Records show that Thomas Craig died in 1881 but that Sally Foster "married" Charles Knight in 1880. The 1880 census also shows that Thomas Craig was back living with his parents, Charles King Craig and Elizabeth. I contacted the Maury County Courthouse and they were able to tell me that Sally and Charles had recieved the papers to file for a marriage licience but that they never returned the paperwork to the courthouse. So...my father-in-law is now realizing that he is not a Knight but a Craig. It was pretty cool to find that out last year as we were living about 15 miles from the Craig homesteads and the graveyard where they were all buried. I hope that you can help me with this mystery. We are trying to find out what happened to Thomas Craig. Why they weren't together....how he died......and if there was a legal marriage between Sally and Charles. I would appreciate any help you can give me and if there is any information I can give you I would be more than happy too. Susan

We are descendents of the Craigs from Orange County, NC and that moved to Maury County after the Revolutionary War. I have alot of information so if you let me know what you are looking for I will send you it. Susan Knight mksbest_susanknight@hotmail.com

Susan, I have Craig in my lines only as by marriage, not by blood, however, that name comes in from two different angles. But that is not why I write.....I was drawn in by your "Knight" name. That is my maiden name, and my ancestors have been in Mary/Giles since before Civil War. You can - if you have any interest- look at the photos and get a general idea of who is who on my website, and then if we connect, you can let me know...again, if it interests you. I don't mean to push. http://www.alaska.net/~dtaplin/PhotoPage/picpage.html Dianna Knight Taplin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Susan Knight" <mksbest_susanknight@hotmail.com> To: <TNMAURY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 28, 2006 8:13 AM Subject: Re: [TNMAURY-L] Kenamore/Craig/Edwards/Gooch/McCafferty/McConnell, south Maur... > We are descendents of the Craigs from Orange County, NC and that moved to > Maury County after the Revolutionary War.
