subject: Re: Ada Dora Drollinger
Owen Brenton Craig was born south of Perrysville, Vermillion County, Indiana he was the son of Larkin Craig and Elizabeth Rayborn. He is on the 1860 listed as Darius Craig. I know the obit said he was born in White County, Indiana. He wasnt we was born in Vermillion County, Indiana and his mother died when he was only a couple months old is listed on the mortality schedule for 1850's. Larkin Craig was in the Civil War. He lost his 2nd wife while in the war. When Owen got old enough Larkin took him to White County to help on the farm. Owen later ran away from home and went to Fountain County, Indiana to live with Aunt Lydia Rayborn Lightle. His father married two other times. After Larkin married the third time lived in White Co.. I will look up sources to proof it as soon as we get this artwork exhibit ready to go up at library next weekend.
