Mabel married Samuel Craig in 1878 in North Carolina, United States. Samuel (son of John Nelson Craig and Nancy Thornton) was born on 18 Jun 1858 in North Carolina, United States; died in 1937 in Knoxville, Knox, Tennessee, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
By 1885 the Craigs had moved to Roane County, Tennessee where their third child was born. They later moved to Anderson County, Tennessee.

In the 1900 census, Mabel gives her birthplace as Tennessee, her father's birthplace as North Carolina and her mother's birthplace in Tennessee. This is in conflict with information recorded by the 1880 census taker. Mabel was born in Georgia according to the 1880 census and her parents were both born in North Carolina.

Samuel's parents are living with them in Roane County. Both give their birthplace as North Carolina.

Samuel's occupation is mine foreman and the two boarders in their household in 1900 were coal miners (William & James Cristopher).

In 1880, Hugh and Laura Rogers were living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina. Hugh was born in North Carolina about 1830 and Laura was born in Georgia about 1838. Their son, William Roger, is shown in this 1880 census as born in Georgia, but in the 1930 census his birthplace is listed as North Carolina. Hugh Rogers is listed as a farmer while Laura is listed as a housekeeper. Their children listed are:
Samuel, 18 (works on farm)
William, 15
John T, 14
Isadora, 11
Lillian Lee, 7
George W, 2
Mabel, 21
Samuel Craige (Mabel's husband), 21
Mary Rogers, 83, Hugh's widowed mother. She is listed as "blind" in the census.

Both of Mary's parents are listed as born in North Carolina

Four of Hugh and Laura's children attended school--Samuel, William, John T.,and Isadora. However, the box to check "cannot write" was only checked for 11-year-old Isadora.
In 1900, Hugh and Laura Rogers are living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina. Laura Rogers is listed as having been born in Tennessee in the 1900 census and in the 1880 census. However, her death certificate lists her has having been born in North Carolina.

By 1910 Hugh Rogers has died and Laura, head of household, is living with her son Samuel, who himself is widowed, George, listed as single, Lillian, who at 34 had not yet married, and a grandson of Laura's, Willie Rogers, age 10, is in the household. The census taker did not identify the parent of the son. They are still living in Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina.

Laura is listed as having been born in Tennessee and lists her parents as both born in Tennessee. All three children and her grandson are listed as being born in North Carolina.

Both Samuel and George are listed as carpenters while Lillian is a school teacher. Laura appears to draw a state pension, although this has not been verified.

Although the census taker indicated the entire family could read and write, only Willie is listed as having attended school.


Samuel Varner Rogers' Find-A-Grave account lists William Washington Rogers, born 1900, as his son. In 1910, William was listed as grandson to Laura Rogers without identifying the parent(s).
Murphy, Cherokee County, North Carolina is in the southwest corner of North Carolina. Near Murphy the state borders Tennessee and Georgia. This may explain the different states family members have used in different census records.
In 1870, Hugh and Laura Rogers and 5 of their children, plus an additional young man are living in Columbia, Banks County, Georgia. The extra person is 17-year-old Jourdan Rogers. His relationship to Hugh is not given, but he is listed at the bottom of the census as if he were not a member of the immediate family.

In this census, Hugh is listed as having been born in North Carolina, Laura as born in Georgia, Mabelle/Mabel in Tennessee, Samuel in North Carolina, and William, John and Isadora are shown as having been born in Georgia along with Jourdan Rogers.

Hugh's occupation is given as Carpenter and Jourdan's as farm laborer. None of the others in the household were working.
