Trinvilla Williams (her first name may have been Lucy) was first married to Joseph M. Applegate. They had two sons - James Thomas and Joseph Gilbert. Joseph M. went off to fight in the Civil War. He came home for a visit and was killed by bushwhackers. Trinvilla then remarried to William Fulton Craker, who was a widower, and together they had 7 more children: Nancy Ann, John Jacob, Henry Calvin, Rachel Eva, Lafayette F., Melvina, and Charles Samuel.

Some people mistakenly think she married a Joseph M Applegate who died in 1903 - but that was a DIFFERENT guy!! We have stories of how her husband died in the war and she was a widow and her oldest little boy was raised by a neighbor until she remarried because she couldn't afford to raise her children alone.
