Individual Details

Isaac Easterling Craig

(11 May 1832 - 14 Dec 1893)

"In 1852 Isaac E. Craig went to Texas to visit his uncle, Rev. William Craig, and there learned that his brother John's family (John had died earlier in 1841) and his brother William were living in the eastern part of Alabama. On his return trip to his home in Alabama he stopped awhile to see them and was so well-pleased with his new-found relatives that he decided to remain and make a crop with his nephews, Will and John. While he was there his brother William taught him to play the flute. He wrote to his niece, Pauline, several times while there and always expressed a great desire to see her.
She did not hear from him after his return to Alabama until the autumn of 1854. He wrote that he would start in two hours for Nebraska, accompanied by an uncle on his mother's side, and promised to write as soon as he reached his destination but the promised letter never came."
