      Craddock's wife was Elizabeth Clough and he married her 22 Dec. 1800 and the best man was Allen Townes and they were married by the Rev. David Thomson. I suspect that Craddock may have married prior to Elizabeth to Parthena Jeter 10 Feb. 1780. The Craddock that married Parthena, her parents were William Jeter and Margaret Vaughan. Margarget's parents were Martin Vaughan and Elinor Broadus and Martin's parents were
      Cornelius and Elizabeth Vaughan.

      Craddock VAUGHAN was born about 1795 in ,Halifax, VA. He died before 1 June 1850 at the age of 55 in ,Halifax, VA. Halifax County, VA, 1851
      Abstract: In his will Craddock Vaughan, deceased, emancipated the petitioners. He wished to give them the "full, and free enjoyment of all the rights, and immunities of Free persons of Colour." By his slave, Eleanor, Vaughan and fathered six children and had "raised them as his own." The children are three-fourths white. He also freed Dicey, a favorite slave. Though a man of intemperate habits, he had accumulated an estate worth seven or eight thousand dollars, including land and seven slaves to his family. He left his Dan River farm, his stock, personal property, and slaves to Eleanor and her children and provided a maintenance allowance to Dicey. The executor hired an overseer to "control every thing, and keep order." Considering themselves "beyond the sphere of the Free negro class" which was "generally so degraded," they ask to remain in the commonwealth.

      (Freed slaves were required to leave Virginia-jek)
