CRAVENS Of Madison Township, is one of Washington County's most prominent and distinguished men. His family is of English, Irish and Scotch descent, and its history dates back to the first settlement of Virginia. The head of the Washington County branch of the Cravens family was Rev. William Cravens, who was born in Rockingham County, Va., July 31, 1776. His wife, who was Jane Harrison, bore him a family of three children, named Hannah E., John and Benjamin. He was one of the earliest and most prominent preachers of the Methodist Church in Indiana, where he settled in 1819. In the spring of 1827 he located in Washington County. His son John was born April 3, 1796, and on the 6th of January, 1818, he was married to Ann C. Newman, by whom he was the father of five children, and of which James A. is the only one now living. He was a blacksmith by trade, and in 1819 settled four miles south of Salem, in Washington County, Ind. He remained there the balance of his life, and was noted for his integrity and industry, and was a strong and ardent member of the Masonic fraternity. He died October 15, 1879, at the age of eighty-three years. Maj. James A. Cravens, who lives on a farm in the southeastern part of Washington County, was born in Rockingham County, Va., November 4, 1818, the oldest child of his parents. With them he came to Indiana in 1819, and has since played an important part in the history of Washington County. He was raised on a farm and received most of his education in the country schools. On September 21, 1843, his marriage was solemnized with Susan, a daughter of Aaron and Sarah (Leatherwood) Hardin. This union has been blessed with a family of seven children, six of them still living. In June, 1846, he enlisted as a private in Company K, Second Regiment of Indiana Infantry, destined for service in the Mexican war. He was soon promoted to Major, and by lot was declared the ranking Major in the First Brigade of Indiana Volunteers. His time of service having expired, he was honorably discharge in July, 1847. He was engaged in the battle of Buena Vista. He was elected School Trustee in 1848, and during the session of 1848-49, was a member of the State Legislature. In 1850 he was elected to the State Senate and served in that capacity for three years. He was commissioned a Brigadier- General of the State Militia in 1854, and five years later was appointed by the State Legislature to the important position of State Agent. He was a member of the Thirty- seventh and Thirty-eighth Congresses, and in both served on the Committee on Territories. He was a delegate to the National Democratic Conventions in 1868, 1876, 1880 and 1884. Martin Cromer Washington County.
