The 1870 Census, Dist. 15, Granville, Jackson Co.,TN; pg. 280, HH 57/57...Isaac Willaby (head of HH) age 45 b. TN, Jane age 45 b. NC, Sarah E. 17, Isaac L. 15, Miram 13, Martha 12. HH 58/58...Leroy M. Willaby (head of HH) 21 b. TN, Minerva (Crage) 30 b. TN, Elise 2, Emly 1, Finley Brown 13 (Wm. Finley Brown who is my gggrandfather), James Brown 11, Baston (Bascom) Brown 9....I don't think there is any doubt that Isaac Willaby and Jane are your ancestors. Minerva Crage/Craig is our common ancestor. She was married to my ggggrandfather John Litton Brown. He died in the Civil War. She then married your ancestor Leroy Willaby. The 3 Brown boys William, James and Bascom are half brothers to Tran. Minerva also had a brother named Enoch who shows on the 1860 Census living with William Crage but on the 1870 Census lives with Leroy and Minerva Willaby. I believe (based on 1830 Census for Jackson Co.) that Minerva and Enoch's father is William Craig and grandfather is John Craig. Happy hunting! Charles Dale Jackson
