     Claude Craighead & Zella Fewell
    Claude Craighead & Zella Fewell
    W. Claude Craighead, Jan. 9, 1877 - Nov. 6, 1955. Zella Fewell, 1885 - Jun. 17, 1937. William Nathan "Claude" Craighead was a son of Mark Anthony Craghead & Barbara Ann Debo. He was my 3rd cousin 3 times removed. On Nov. 22, 1903 in Callaway Co., Missouri, he married Zella Fewell. She was a daughter of Benjamin Fewell & Eliza Louise Jones.…
     
  • Notes 
    • Her maiden name came from son William's obituary.

      Her parents were Benjamin Fewell of TN and Eliza Jones of Callaway Co., Missouri.
      She was adopted by the William Noble family as a child.

      William N. Craghead Miss Zella Fewell 22 Nov 1903 H469
      Her husband started going by the name of Claude Craghead after 1910. It is the same person.

      There is some confusion about his name. On all census before 1920, his name is William N. Craghead. His marriage record shows the name William. His death certificate shows William. On the 1920 and 1930 census he is Claude. On his son's obituary he is Claude. William had a younger brother named Claude, who died in 1902. I have found no further records on this brother.

      William/Claude and Zella were together on all census, living with or next door to William Noble. In 1900, William Craghead was working on Willliam Noble's farm, and Zella Fewell was listed as the adopted daughter of the Nobles. William/Claude Craghead and Zella Fewell Craghead named their son who was born in 1920, William Noble Craghead. William and Zella are buried at Unity church. I have no idea why he changed his name, but everything I have found points to this conclusion.
      However, I could be totally wrong.
