There
was a Larkin Craig, born 1793, living in Scott County, Kentucky. He
married Frances Anna Ficklin (called Franky), about 1814 and had seven children
(1) Alice, 1815 (2) Katherine, 1817 (3) David W. 1819 (4) Polly, 1821 (5)
Robert E., 1823 (6) John T., 1825 (7) Samuel L., 1827. I know that
my ancestor Larkin Craig emigrated alone to Montgomery County, Illinois in
1828. In order to establish that they were the same men, I would like
to discover what became of his wife and seven children. Does anyone
know of them? Frances Anna's mother's maiden name was Herndon.
Larkin's father, Thomas Craig probably lived with them and was a
Revolutionary War veteran. Can anyone
help?

Thomas
and William Branham were born in Virginia and moved to Scott County, Kentucky
with their parents. From there they moved to Montgomery County, Kentucky
by 1840. Their parents are indicated to be Travner Branham (1760 Orange Co.
VA - aft 1831 Scott Co. KY) and Mary Sisson (abt 1770 Orange Co. VA - aft
1831 Scott Co.KY) for the following reasons. (1) Orange County,
VA, Deed 33/436, April 26, 1831, stated that Travner and wife, Mary Sisson
Branham, Scott County, Kentucky - sold land in Orange County, VA to Abner
Sisson, land formerly owned by Mary's father, William. The deed attested
to by Scott Co. JP's John Branham and Job Stevenson (2) The Scott County
1830 census documents the expected age brackets for Travner and wife, Mary
Sisson Branham, as well as sons, Thomas and William. Two others, not yet
identified, are also listed (3) William Branham appeared on the 1836,
1837 & 1838 Scott County tax list. (4) Thomas and William Branham first
appeared on the 1840 Montgomery County, Kentucky tax list, then thereafter
in consecutive years. They appeared adjacent in the 1850 Montgomery
County census. They were also listed adjacent in the 1860 census, but
with Thomas in Montgomery County and William in Powell County, due to the
formation of Powell County in 1852 (5) Henry Davis, living alone, was listed
in the 1830 Scott County census living adjacent to the Travner Branham family.
The apparent same Henry Davis was living with the said Thomas Branham
and wife, Lydia Wyckoff family in the 1860 Montgomery County census (6)
The significance is not presently understood, but Mary, the widow of
John Branham, married John Davis after 1742 in Fauquier County, Virginia
(7) Per the VA Genealogist, British Mercantile Claims, Travner Branham removed
from Spotsylvania County, VA to Fayette or Bourbon County, Kentucky after
the Revolutionary War. (Like brother Gaydon, there was probably a short
stay in Orange County, VA, before moving on to KY) (8) Scott County Deed
4, May 3, 1817 was an indenture involving Travner and wife Mary Sisson Branham
(9) In Woodford County, KY Deed L 255, October 8, 1827, Benjamin and wife
Margaret Lindsay Vance sold 144 acres in Woodford County on South Fork of
the Elkhorn on the Frankfort Road to Travner Branham. Vance currently
occupied the land, part of the Beal and Williams survey. Travner's
son, the said William Branham, wed on Joanne Vance, probably related to the
said Benjamin Vance. Any interest or knowledge in any of the above
surname's genealogy?

John Risk), parents Robert Risk, died 1786 and Elizabeth Moore, who later
married in 1791, Augusta Co. VA, Charles Stuart. Richard's father was Moses
Hays of Augusta County, VA. Richard and Rachel Hays may have moved to Kentucky
per Chalkey's Augusta County Court Records. Rachel's brother, James
Henderson, married Rebecca Henderson and moved to Scott County, Kentucky.
Richard Hays and his wife Rachel Risk may have made this migration with her
brother.
