Subject: RE: James Addison Cravens  Good morning:   I have James Addison Cravens in my tree because he is the father of Susan Mariah Cravens, wife of William Jackson Lapping. I am a descendant of WJLapping's grandfather, Edward Lapping. Most of what I have on the Cravens I found online. My main focus was and is the Lapping line.   William Jackson Lapping and Susan Mariah Cravens had six children: Agnes, John, Raymond Cravens, James Edward, Helen Hurst and Hildred. If you'd like more information about the Lappings, let me know. It's a big family, but I'd be happy to share what I have with you.   Mary
