County, Ky., was born February 12, 1858. His father, Albert G. Craig,
a native of Carroll County, was born April 1, 1807, and was a well-to-do
farmer; he took an active part in all political matters, and was twice
elected to the county judgeship of Gallatin County. He married Virginia
J. Brooking, of Clark County, daughter of Robert E. Brooking, of Virginia,
and six sons and five daughters were born to their union, of whom the
subject of this sketch is the youngest. Benjamin Craig, the paternal
grandfather of Virginius T., was a native of Virginia, came to Kentucky
in an early day, and settled on a farm in Carroll, then Gallatin County.

was united in marriage to Carrie Gaines, daughter of Benjamin L. and

this marriage, Corinne. Politically Mr. Craig is a Democrat; his wife
