Biography

Will includes wife and names of children. Andrew D. Craig is a son of Andrew Craig, who was born in East Tennessee in 1787, and is said to have been the first male white child born between the Holston River and the Cumberland Mountains. In 1835 he married Martha D. Hardeman, of Williamson County, and in 1848 they came to Perry County, and here the father died in 1862, followed by the mother’s death in 1863. The father was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was a minister in the Baptist Church, and afterward in the Christian Church. Andrew D. Craig, our subject, was born December 15, 1838, and made the paternal roof his home until the breaking out of the war between North and South, when he enlisted in the Fifty-third Tennessee Confederate Infantry, and, after the fall of Fort Donelson, was transferred to the Tenth Tennessee Cavalry and remained in the service until Lee’s surrender. December 22, 1859, he wedded America Greer, and of seven children born to them six are living. Mrs. Craig died October 17, 1874, and January 24, 1875, he married Adelia Carroll, who bore him six children, four now living. Mr. Craig served as county trustee six years from March, 1870, and as county sheriff four years from August, 1872. Farming is his chief occupation, and he and family are members of the Christian Church.

Andrew was born in 1787. He passed away in 1863.

Craig-4714 and Craig II-2 appear to represent the same person because: My info for Craig-II-2 came from my grandmother's family history handed down to me.
