Sisters names are Oney, Alzara, Patsy, and Amanda Cunnigan. Brother's name, Nelson Bristo. My father's name was James Cunnigan. He died at Vicksburg in time of the cholera in 1866. Being quite young, I was persuaded by a man in 1868, to leave mother and the children, and I did so. In order to keep them from finding where I was, I gave myself the name of James Craig.
