Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: With a friendly wave to Ted (he works hard here)... I did find Craven listed 3 times in the same files. According to the researcher, Craven married Eva Brown in 1884; and in 1910, her answer to the census taker was that she was the mother of 10 children, but only 3 were then living. Her notes also say that Craven's father was not Hiram, but Archibald Fairchild (and Craven is living w/ parents in 1870).
She does give the specific date and place for the marriage.
From her records, Eva is the mother, not step mother. Family traditions don't always agree with the original records.
Here is a link to the file, so you can compare, and contact the person with the information-
