If you see anything that needs corrected please E-Mail me. Kankakee, IL 60901 - Craig family I am looking for information on the Craig family, who reportedly owned farmland around Carterville and in the area that became Crab Orchard Lake. Agnes Koobs from Pekin, but left her before the birth of their daughter Dedaricka, and they divorced later. He may have had a brother named Cyrile, and a sister, Cinda.
Parents names are uncertain.
At one time I read historical accounts of a gang of Craigs involved in some criminal activity in southern IL, but don't know if there is any relation. I am seeking info on Margaret Frey,born ca 1851 in Williamson Co.,Illinois. Simeon and his brother Henry Frey both served in 128th Illinois Infantry in the Civil War. Margaret later married a William Ramsey. The years I would be interested in 1900-1940.
