According to unverified sources, John Craig moved to Clay Co., Indiana as a small child.
He was orphaned when he was young and was reared in the home of Thomas Fires. He was
baptized in Eel River near Bruinswick.
He is listed in the 1900 census as follows:
1900 Clay Co., Indiana Census, Lewis Twp., ED 14, Pg. 5A/B, HH#92-92
Craig, John D. Head W M June 1854 45 M 13 IL OH OH
Drusilla Wife W F Sept. 1852 48 M 13 5 5 TN TN TN
Maggie Daughter W F June 1887 12 S IN IL TN
Pg. 5B
Amanda Daughter W F June 1887 12 S IN IL TN
Mary E. Daughter W F Feb. 1891 9 S IN IL TN
John A. Son W M Sept. 1894 5 S IN IL TN
Edmons, James E. Stepson W M Sept. 1881 18 S IN IN TN
Puckett, Joseph Border W M Sept. 1870 29 S IN IN IN
Family history says his wife's name was Drusilla Edmons and I have found it impossible
to determine who her parents were. I noticed that there is a stepson listed above named
Edmons which leads me to believe that Drusilla was married prior to marrying John Craig,
but I don't know to whom and I don't know what her maiden name was.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks, Troy
