Dear Jeff,
I am descended from John Craton(Crayton) of Caldwell Co., Texas.My grandmother was his daughter, Elizabeth Craton Jones White.She was married in Franklin County, Tennessee in the 1840's.Her husband, James Augustus Jones, died after their 6th child, Tennessee Jones, was born.She came to her father in Caldwell County, Texas about 1856.She remarried in 1858 to my grandfather, Abel White.Her second to the oldest daughter, Mary Elizabeth Jones, married Abel's oldest son, William L. White Sr., in Travis County in 1861.
John is buried in Martindale next to a large cemetery.There is a slight ravine to the right of the cemetery and just past the ravine is an area with an iron fence around it.John Craton (Crayton) married Mahala Spruill later in life.His first marriage was to Rebecca Lasater, daughter of Hezekiah and Elizabeth Copeland Lasater in Franklin County, Tn.Rebecca died at an early age and John took Elizabeth back to her grandmother Lasater to raise and he came to Texas.
Would love to share information with you!
Thanks,
Pat Fritsch
