EARLY HISTORY OF HILLSBORO

By Rev. H. C. Northcott

James CRAIN (the elder) had the following children: Marshall, Thornton, Samuel,Lewis Hiram, Patsy and maybe others. Marshall and Thornton married sisters named HOPKINS of Bath County. Lewis married Nancy DILLON whose father occupied the cottage north of my father's. I don't know who Sam or Hiram married. Hiram was a pupil of mine and I learned from some source he was a soldier in the Civil War. Lewis bought and kept the saloon at Hillsboro for some time. He moved to Bath and lived near Wyoming.
