Nancy B Tarbet, b Abt 1804 in Flemming Co. KY, is the sister of my g-grandfather. She married Joseph Craycroft, Jan 16, 1824 in Flemming KY.
I don't know much about Joseph, except the following from [danteonline.FTW]
Joseph Cracraft was born in Ky in 1804 (1850 and 1870 census) or 1805 (1880 census). His father was born in Md and his mother was born in Ky. Joseph was married to a woman named Nancy (YOB 1804) of Ky. She died between 1870 and 1880. [There was a Joseph Cracraft who married Nancy Tarbet in Fleming Co., Ky on 1-11-1824]. In 1826, Joseph and family were in Lawrence Co., In. In 1842, Joseph was in Polk Twp in Monroe Co., In. In that year, he owned no land but paid $40 tax on personal property. In 1850, Joseph and Nancy were living in Polk Twp of Monroe Co., In. He was a farmer and owned land in Chapel Hill, In. In 1856 Joseph owned about 10 acres of land in southern Polk Twp, on the Lawrence Co., In boundary. In 1860 and 1870 Joseph and Nancy were living in Polk Twp of Monroe Co., In. Joseph was listed as chair maker. He died sometime after 1880.
