Born in South Carolina, as were her parents. (Source: 1880 US Federal Census) which reflects a birth year of 1810. Her maiden name may have been Turner, but no documentation has been found to date to substantiate this.

She married George McCraw about 1831, based off of the birth year of their eldest known child. No marriage date or location has been found to date.

By 1840, the family was living in Cherokee County, Georgia where they resided around Flatbottom Trail Road East/Southeast of Ball Ground.

She and her husband had around twelve children, whom are currently known as: John Brandon; John A.; Mahulda A.; Deborah (Debby) Lucinda; Wilson; Millicent (Mary) Narcissa; William Drayton (Drake); George Patton (aka Lafayette); Georgia Ann; Dorcas; and Eleanor.

She does not have a tombstone in the cemetery, and her exact grave location is not certain, although it is almost certain that she is buried to the left or right of her husband George, who has a headstone.

Church records at the Sharp Mountain Baptist Church, Ball Ground, Cherokee, Georgia cite her death as 31 MAY 1898 and that she was interred at the family cemetery.
