I'm sending this along with the .jpg images to your email address. It appears that Mary Elizabeth's mother died sometime between 1870 and 1880. On the 1880 census William Craig was still living at the same location, remarried with more children. I believe Mary Elizabeth Craig's mother's name was Catharine Mitchell. There is a marriage record (located in the Marriage Bonds of Franklin County, Virginia 1786-1858) "Craig, Wm. and Catherine Mitchell, Nov 27, 1841. Sur. Wm. S. Mitchell. 132."

Good Morning, I am new to this list, and interested in the Craig family who came very early to Bucks County Pennsylvania, There seems to have been 4 sons of William Craig of Scotland, and several daughter as well. The son's were Thomas, Daniel, James and William. I am trying to determine the names of the daughters of William Craig of Scotland. (the sisters of the 4 immigrant brothers) Two of the daughters (sisters) may have been Margaret and Jane. Can any fill in the names of the other girls? Thank you for any help with this.

Son Samuel Gilliland was born Scotland 1694. These are my ancestors. My Gillilands and Craigs were covenanters sent to Northern Ireland. Sometime after the birth of Samuel's son Nathan in 1720 the family came to America and were among the first settlers of Augusta County, Virginia. My confirmed records for this family in Augusta County date to 1745. I have three possible lineages for Agnes but cannot pinpoint/confirm any one line. I would really appreciate some help with this! I wonder if my Agnes Craig might also be related to other pioneering Craigs who settled in Augusta County and SW Virginia.
