Dear Karen,
I am William and Marian’s G-G Granddaughter.My G-Grandfather was, John (Jack) DeSilver Craddock.My Grandmother was his second daughter, Edith Fidella Craddock Lawson Vestal. My father was William DeSilver Lawson.Pat Crum’s mother, Leota, was my grandmother’s older sister. Don’s father was her younger brother, Henry.There were two more sons, John Russell and Luther Ned.
I grew up surrounded by Craddocks. G-Grandpa Jack lived only three blocks from us until his death when I was about 8.At that time he was married to his fourth wife May, whom no one in the adult family liked.His first wife, Alice May Young, and mother of his five children, died due to a home accident, July 1, 1910.
What I remember about Grandpa Jack was his beautiful voice, with a slight Southern accent.Don’s brother, Sid, has the same soothing quality in his voice.
The country of origin according in a note left by Leoti and my Grandmother was Wales, but Pat thinks it is England.I believe, even in the 1600s, the two countries were ruled by one government.
The best information I have on William Claiborne Craddock, comes from a web page: VIRGINIANS-THE FAMILY OF JOHN H. PRITCHETT.It is very edifying as to the life styles of the peoples of Virginia, plus it gives information on the Craddock family.

I also found this information on the web.

Project Background:
American Craddocks hit a brick wall when trying to trace and document their pre-1750 Craddock ancestors. Who was the father of William Craddock (d. 1795 in Nottoway Co., VA)? Was it Samuel or was it Robert? Who was the Craddock immigrant and where in the British Isles did he come from? Craddock is a Welsh name, but many records imply an English origin.
