Heather,
Our family always believed that CRAVER was English in origin ... that is, until we got involved with genealogy.As it turns out, my particular CRAVER line has no English ancestry whatsoever that anyone has been able to identify to date.Our CRAVER surname is from the German Palatines and has been recorded in many forms including KREVER, KRAVER, GREBER, and what we think was the original German, GRABER.

Most of their descendants appear to be in the North Carolina area these days.There are also CRAVERs related to either mine, or the PA/NC CRAVERs in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey and elsewhere in the USA.
