James Washington Craft m. 17 Feb 1812 Floyd Co KY to Drusilla Hammonds b about 1790 NC d 12 Jan 1867 Wayne Co KY d/o Joseph Ambrose Hammonds and Sarah Collins. (1850 Letcher Co KY Census). Children of James Washington Craft and Drusilla Hammonds;

Archelous Craft b 1814 d 1885 m. 8 May 1833 Perry Co KY to Lettishia "Letty" Webb b 1817 KY d 1901 Letcher Co KY, d/o Benjamin Webb and Jane "Jennie" Adams.

Joseph Craft b 7 Dec 1816 Letcher Co KY d 5 Dec 1886 Laurel Co KY m. 20 Mar 1834 to Martha Irby Bates b 11 Dec 1816 d 18 Apr 1895, d/o John Wallis Bates and Sarah Ann Walthrop.

Nehemiah Craft b 1829 m. to (1) Arty Thompson b 1837. Nehemiah Craft m. 1877 to (2) Rebecca Haynes.

From these records, James Washington Craft and Drusilla Hammonds were both born in Wilkes Co NC, but their marriage took place in Floyd Co KY on Feb 17, 1812. The first child was born in Perry Co KY, and the second child was born in Letcher Co KY, I have not been able to determine whether Mahala and the subsequent children were also born in Letcher Co Ky, but it seems like a logical conclusion. If I find anything further, I will follow up.
