I am aware that Polly, the daughter of Dabney Carr and the niece of President Thomas
Jefferson, was born 7 Mar 1768 and had a twin sister named Lucy. This Polly interests me
because I am descended from a Mary Kerr/Carr whose gravestone in Lancaster District, SC
indicates that she was born in 1768 (53 years old at her death on 9 Mar 1821). This
Mary's husband was James Craig, a son of the Scotch-Irish attorney and Revolutionary
War patriot John Craig, Esq., by Elizabeth Galloway. They were married in Rowan County,
NC.
Their sons were James Dickey, George Washington, Nathaniel Johnston, and John L. Their
daughters were Mary Lucinda and Martha Matilda.
Did Polly, the daughter of Dabney Carr and Martha Jefferson, marry? Are there Craigs
mentioned in the family papers?
