May I ask where you got the parents for this Louiza Sims Craig?

My research shows Louisa Sims Craig was the child of JOHNSON L. SIMS
1802 – 1857 & MARGARET "PEGGY" SWAIN 1801 – 1845.

The 1850 census shows Louisa in the household of her father (her mother being dead).

Louisa Dulcinia Sims, called Sinia, born 3 May 1842, married 29 August 1867
Andrew Johnson Scott Craig, called Andy. He was born 27 May 1844 in SC,
and died 6 April 1934. After his wife's death on 27 October 1878, Andy
Craig remarried and had a second family. His descendants remember that he
was a 2 1/2 pound baby born in the 1840's who survived the Civil War (he
was my grandfather's messmate) and a terrible fever, then went on to become
a judge in Independence Co. AR. Andy Craig lived into his 90's. He once
said the most difficult thing in his life had been the loss of his right to
vote after the Civil War. He and his first wife had children Margaret
Zenobia Craig, John Robert Craig, and Mary Lutitia Craig. Swain
descendants still farm the lands settled by Johnson L. Sims and his
children. This is White River bottom land, surrounded by beautiful hills,
said to grow great soybeans.
