I don't have the details in front of me, but a while back I discovered my eldest son and his wife have/had a mutual fourth cousin. There is a DAR file for a lady who descended from Robert CRAIG of the PA militia (his ancestor) AND from Enoch STONE of NC (hers). The DAR application was from the 1930s and no such name/hometown showed up from a search, so she has probably long ago passed on.

Does anyone know anything about the Craigs in Lee Co VA -- Hiram Craig - 1810 tax list William Craig - 1810 tax list (constable) Pleasant Craig - 1830 census There is a chance that my James Robertson (with son Craig Robertson) is the one on the 1810 census of Wythe Co. I notice that Rufus Morgan was in the same county, and James had a son Rufus Morgan Robertson, so am thinking that the Robertson's Craig connection could be to this Craig family. Lots of supposition in that line of reasoning, but it's worth a shot. Thanks. Justin Howery justin@howery.net

Hi: I am Cal Craig of Alton, Il born and raised there. My Ggreat grandfather was William John born in Manchester, Eng, The son of James and Mary nee McCann . William lived most of his childhood and early adulthood in Salford. He came to the states in or about 1854.

He first marr. to Tamer Dixon and after her death, marr. Olive Diamond who was my Ggreat grandmother. Their children were John, Edward (twin), Calvin, and James. A set of twins were born 1n1874 but died at birth. I have never got a "hit' in the ten years of research on the internet. It is truly a brickwall! Cal in Tucson

His parents were James and Mary McCann Craig who marr. in the church 6 Dec. 1829. Mary died 19 Mar. 1851 at their home at 83 Hope St. Salford, Eng.

Hello Craig family. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I just discovered my husband and myself both have Toliver Sr. and Mary Polly Hawkins CRAIG as our 6x Grandparents. I may add we were born over 100 miles apart and my husband is 14 years older than I. My husband being born in Madison Co IL and his family coming from Hamilton Co IL. I, in turn was born in Effingham Co IL and ended up meeting my husband at SIUE in Madison Co . IL. We have been married 27 years and now we find we are very distance cousins. WOW!! Amazing what a small world this is! Wanda

Come on folks.....change your subject line. Did you miss something on that Craig Connection because it was buried under the wrong, ambiguous subject line. Please...I've been guilty myself, but we should all try to make a relevant line> Say something like this: GIVEN NAME. SURNAME....DATE....PLACE James Craig b: 1804 New Jersey Or: Craig's in NJ It just takes a minute....and will make it much easier not to miss something important. MaryAnn

Well now! Thank-you for reminding me about the Land Rush. A carpenter in a new land of development makes a lot of sense to me. The Q. is, was he "our" William T. Craig? I'll keep working at it.

I've gotten two responses on this ancestor. Thank-you for responding. My William T. Craig died July 11, 1921--in Little Rock,Arkansas; he was living in a Confederate Soldier's Home called "Sweet Home". A real nice librarian @ Little Rock emailed me and she says he appeared on the 1920 census and it indicated he was born in 1841,Kentucky (family says it was Tenn). Anyway, he was buried in the National Cemetary in Little Rock. So, the funeral homes in OK City can't help me with that (maybe his son...). As for the land records, wasn't OK City still Indian Territory in 1889? Would they have Land records in I.T.? There was something of interest though. Also living in the Conf. Home was a Joseph H. CRAIG (wf: Hester) and he appears at the Craig site. Could these two old men have been related to each other and from the same area in MO? If either has an obituary, it might reveal something new. Are there any folks related to Joseph out there? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Marybeth: In my CRAIG family I have a William who has a sister Matilda. Their parents were Charles Craig and Rachel Ashby. There were other siblings too. William served in the Civil War and after his marriage moved to Nebraska. The family remained in McLean Co., IL and perhaps this is where Matilda stayed. I have no records of her. If you think we might have a connection you can E-mail me privately. Margef31@home.com

I have not read it, and the two volumes are $95.00. My birthday is in March, perhaps my children will cooperate on this one, although I hope to go to a university library and read a bit before I invest that much. If I do get a copy or am able to learn more about Craig connections, I will contact you. My great grandfather's brother George C. Craig should be involved. The times match the letter I have. For now, I am leaving for three weeks, but will check in later. Let me know if you have an opportunity to see a copy. Genealogy is always a matter of solving mysteries.

THANK YOU! This election was won BECAUSE of our Republic - not Democratic - form of government. We select our President by a fair representation of the people in all of the States and not just a few of the more populated areas. The electorial college was created to avoid the entire country from being represented by a small, more populated area. Thank God for the foresite of our Forefathers. We are truly a blessed nation. We now have a new beginning. If you don't like the way this election turned out, there is always the next. The solution to election is Education, Education, Education. Know the issued and take a stand. Being genealogist we are historians as well, it is up to us as individuals to share our stories, or heritage and what this country means to our children and grandchildren. With out US teaching them, they won't know anything about our country. I suggest every home have a copy of the Federalists Papers, the Constitution, and the Ten Commandments and read, re-read and re-read again and again until it is so ingrained into our being we won't ever take forgranted the gifts God as given this nation.

Actually he was David William Craig b. June 8, 1841 in Indiana . . . b. Orange County, Indiana. Father was William David Craig b. 1795, Virginia . . . m. Nancy Busick from North Carolina in 1834. They had in addition to William David: Jonathan, Elizabeth J. Thomas W. Mary S., Martha A. and Margaret M. . . . this info from Orange County, Indiana Census 1850. My brick wall is William David Craig b. 1795 in Virginia ........................d. 1855 in Indiana. Think he must have had another wife before Nancy, but have not hit on anything. Both my David William & his brother Thomas W. served with union in Civil War from Indiana. Have been trying to get further back on this line for years ..................... :( Maggie
