  • Notes 

    • Manry Craig was "...a woman of fine judgement, superior business ability and a strong will. She was unusually gentile and amiable. When left a widdow, in 1822, with seven minor children, she managed her estate so well that it nearly doubled in value by the time the youngest child became of age." (Mary B. Temple, "Notable Men Of Tennessee.")
