Hi Cheryl: James C. Craven/s as I told you was a son of Joshua, son of
richard. He married 1st Martha McCorkle, 19 Mar 1840, they had the
following chldn; Alpha, Sarilda, Nancy, John and Wm Thomas (my gr
grandfather), 2nd he mrd Margaret Clark and had three sons, James R. (I gave
you his obit info, Josua, his twin and Thee or Theues. They all lived
around Camden Ray co Mo. Thee was quite active there, I can't think of all
that he was involved in.
I forgot to tell you that Richards father was Joseph and he mrd Lydia
Hancock. I believe in NC......What else did you want to know about
James?....Sue
