Why don't you send a message to the Decatur-L list asking whether there
is any information in the 1882 Atlas for Decatur Co regarding this
Craig? There is much biographical info in that atlas, but it is not
indexed. There is an index at the library in Greensburg where someone
can look it up and then they tell me which page the information is on so
I can copy and forward it.

I have acquired a tapestry quilt. In each of the four corners of the
tapestry are square blocks with the following;
W. Craig
Greensburg
DC. Co. IA
1851
Around the borders of the tapestry are trees, a house, peacock and menorah.
I wonder if anyone has any information concerning the W. Craig mentioned?
This tapestry came from my side of the family that has roots in Decatur Co.,
Indiana.......the Corwins and Thomas family. Richard Corwin and Sarah
McCarty's son was Mulford Corwin who married Susannah Thomas....d/o Catherine
and Jacob Thomas. Richard and Mulford removed to Illinois where they both
died.
Any help identifying this piece would be helpful.
Thanks!
