From: tnixon@viagrafix.net (Tommy Nixon)
I have more info on the Craigs, Gr Grandfather, Rev Thomas Nixon, Utica MS, when his father, John Nixon Jr, died went back home, Mount Pleasant, Tn, and copied the family Bible and I have a copy of these writings. First, at times he wrote Cragg, then Craig, I believe Cragg was the common spelling at that time. The info I'm giving you at this time comes from my Generation Chart, I do have more info in my files, boxes. John Nixon, Jr, son of John Bently Nixon, was born 2 July, 1768 in Kershaw County, SC. Married Elizabeth Cragg, born 11 Nov. 1767, died , 25 June 1823, Mount Pleasant, Maury County, TN. John Nixon Jr died 9 Dec 1840, Mount Pleqasant, TN. John and Elizabeth are burried in the old Shiloh Church Cemetery, John was also a Methodist Preacher. Elizabeths father was William Cragg, her mother was Martha. This Craig family came from England. As I said I do, I think, have more Craig, Cragg info, I have a folder for some side families including Craig, I looked and the Craig sheet was not there, most likely I missfiled it, will let you know when I find it. keep in touch, I also would like a rundown on the Craigs. a fellow Genealogist, tommy and shirley nixon
