  • Notes 
    • First marriage to Lauretta Hall, ended in divorce, It is believed that his 1st wife was probably a cousin, since his mother's name was Hall. They divorced after the births of two sons, who were reared by a family named Weant, and the sons went by the last name of Weant. Earl, and unknown name son. per the Cra(i)ghead book.

      The marriage certificate to Loretta is listed as Lee Craghead. They were married Jan 18, 1888. Ref #F182

      William H. Craghead Miss Clara P. Hopwood 20 Feb 1899 H124

      Children listed in Cra(i)ghead book are:
      Carl
      Warlter R. Lee
      Robert
      Albert T.L.
      child.
      I cannot find this family in 1910, so I only have two children listed from 1920. Cordelia and Albert. Cordelia was not listed in the book. I found Walter's death certificate.
      I have now added Robert Carl Lesley Craighead as a son, per letter from his daughter.
