There are problems here. Some claim he married Nellie Turner, some claim Eleanor Johnson. More research and sources needed to straighten it out. --cos1776 21:57, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

    Craig. David (1731-1785) was given a grant of Tennessee land for leading a company of Virginia militia at King's Mountain. He took part in forming the state of Franklin. Craig Station was between Ish and Henry stations on the Little Tennessee in Blount county. In 1792 all three were attacked by Indians. When Blount was taken from Knox in 1795, David Craig was one of the first magistrates. He married Eleanor Johnson, and many of their descendants are in Blount and Knox.

    James was under Captain Craig. In 1783 he was sheriff of Washington county, Virginia.

    John was at King's Mountain as a private, but in 1787-88 was a captain, fighting the Cherokees under Sevier.

    Robert was a captain in Christian's Cherokee campaign in the fall of 1776, and was in many border fights both before and after. He was an officer at King's Mountain. Eckenrode lists him as a lieutenant colonel.
