As for the Cravens, Robert and William Cravens were brothers of Madge Cravens Black, and sons of Robert and Mary Harrison Cravens. This Robert Cravens who owned land on CFBC was the same Robert Cravens Jr. who married Esther Harrison, daughter of Jeremiah and Elizabeth Patterson Harrison. This writer is still unsure who William Cravens married at this time, although her name MAY have been Jane ____, but that is unconfirmed.

Although Robert Cravens owned land (as you’ll see further down) on CFBC he never actually lived there. It is this writer’s opinion that this land is where his brother William Cravens lived for the seven years that he lived on CFBC before he returned to Augusta Co., VA in or around 1773. There were still other families who came from the Augusta Co. region to this part of Mecklenburg Co. but these are the main ones that this writer is focusing on in terms of linking these families to the Linville Creek families.
