William Craig Line Page 1 of 3

This is such a large line I have had to make 3 pages of it. I tried to cut it down but I just can't do it justice to do so.

This line is so intertwined with Johnston, Blackwood, Logan-Long lines so many times it is hard to keep things straight. I sure hope I have them straight.
