Thomas Cloyd Craig, son of Dr. Robert McNealy and Elizabeth (Law) Craig, was b. in Pulaski County, Va., 11 May 1843. Was educated in private schools at home, completing a thorough course in classics and higher mathematics. He was a non-commissioned officer (Corporal)in a well drilled military company, the 'Pulaski Guards' and when the Civil War broke out his company was ordered to the front on the 17th day of April, 1861, as Company C, (Commanded by Captain James Alexander Walker)of the 4th Virginia Regiment, of the 1st Virginia 'Stonewall' Brigade. He was promoted to rhe rank of 4th Sergeant in January 1862. At the battle of Winchester or Kernstown on March 23, 1862, he was captured and kept a prisoner at Ft. Delaware and was exchanged on August 12, 1862. He immediately re-enlisted in a cavalry regiment, the 25th Virginia. He was again captured in a battle in the mountains of Kentucky on April 12th, 1864, but made his escape the same day. When the news of Lee's surrender was heard, his brigade was on the march to Lynchburg, from southwest Virginia, the brigade was disbanded at Christainsburg, 20 miles from his home at Newbern and the men told to go home as the war was over. In four more days he would have been four years in the Confederate army. On reaching his home the next day, he hitched up the horse he had ridden three years in the Cavalry service to a plow, with a mule that had belonged to the Confederate government, and drove into the l)est field on his father's farm, and began farming, with a revolver at his waist and slept in a bed in the stable at night to protect his team from thieving soldiers, returning to their homes in the South. In the meantime, he studied medicine, with his father as preceptor, and finally graduated from the Medical College of Virginia and was appointed interne in the City Hospital, after a competitive examination. This position he held 18 months. He then took over his father's practice at his home, but after a year, he left for the west, and located at Easton, Kansas, where he has been in continuous practice ever since, except the year 1891 when he was sent to the legislature, defeating a Populist and a Republican, by a big majority. November 10th, 1872, he m. Miss Mary Joseph Tearney at Leavenworth, Kansas. She was b. at Harper's Ferry, Va., and died 2-19-1888, leaving no children. January 7, 1892, he m. Elizabeth A. Hines who bore three Children: Lucy, b. 3-14-1894. David Cloyd, b. 4-1-1897. Jesse Law, b. 2-25-1899.
