Perhaps it would be helpful to check your known dates against what was going on in the country historically. Many tribes were moved into the Okla. Territory during Andrew Jackson's administration. My Craigs were Scottish and came into NJ, but Scots were quite sympathetic to the plight of the Indians. We have a letter written by an ancestor in which he states that next week he will go to Washington to plead the Cherokee case. Many Cherokee were able to keep possession of their tribal lands. A man names John Ross was involved in the effort to help the Cherokee and recently a book was published on his life. Also on Genforum I noticed someone seeking information about the Cherokee.
Shirley, Edgar Craig isn't familiar to me. My husband's Craigs lived in Boone, Callaway and Stone counties in Missouri. I will keep an eye out because at least one Craig shows up when I research other families. Rhonda
My Craig is a T.J. Craig b unk in Tn, I think. He married my ggGrandmother Sallie B. Foster 6 June 1872, Maury Co. , Tn in Hopewell Church. I have been told he died in 1877 Culleoka, Tn. Sallie inherited the farm outside of Culleoka, Tn. To this marriage was born at least one daughter, Callie V. Craig 18 Sept 1873, d 2 Apr 1952 , buried Lynnwood Cem. Giles Co., Tn. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated.
Rhonda, We too live in MO, Jackson Co. Was hoping you might know of an Edgar A. Craig who lived in Greene and Christian Counties in the late 1800s, early 1900s. There was an Eli Craig in Christian Co. but can't find Edgar ANYWHERE except on the 1880 and 1900 in Christian Co., MO. He says he was born in OH 1837. He died between 1900 and 1910. Know of only one child, my husband's Grandmother, Alice Alwilda Craig Carpenter (William). Any help appreciated!

Is anyone familiar with a Mrs. William L. Craig of RR #4, in Hartford City, Indiana or her family. About 15 to 20 years ago she wrote my mother about our Craig line. The letter was not dated but she mentioned that her daughter had more information and would be getting in touch with her. The information she noted in the letter was dead-on target and included information relative to a Frederick Craig Sr. born in 1796 and his wife Mary Rice. Their Children were, John Rice Craig, m Lucinda; Lee Craig; Frederick Craig Jr., m Cynthia A.; Elizabeth m John Tindle, Jame Harvey Craig m Nancy Schrimser (Owenton, Ky) they ended up in Lyon County, KS.; Hugh Craig m Ester/Easter; William m Elizabeth Wheat. Some of you have provided similar information but I am interested in seeing if I can find someone connected to Mrs William L. Craig's family. The letter had the feel that they (mom and Mrs. WLC) knew (or knew of) each other. I just ran across the letter in some old files. Thought I would give it a shot! gdc Gary D. Craig garygdc@att.net
Dale ... When I was researching my William Craig in Edgar County, Illinois, I first found him in Indiana... during that search we turned up another William Craig (unrelated) in that same area. I seem to remember some similar time frames on some of that family compared to mine but the name Roderick never cropped up. Roderick/Roderick (as I understand it) is, as you indicate, a totally English name.... Have you tried the other spellings... Craige, Kraig, Kreig and the like.... English it may have been but it could have been from the Saxon lineage and been Kreig or the like. Anyway... not much help ... but ....good luck! Gary D.

Brenda, What county in MO? I have a William Craig of the same years,1837- 1919, but emigrated Ireland in 1849 to Wisconsin. After the Civil War, he lived near Cameron, MO, with a number of other Irish Catholic families - Navin, Doolin, Tobin, Grady, Carlow, Farrell. He homesteaded in South Dakota beginning in the 1880s. I ask because I sometimes come across MO Craig information that does not fit my family. Mb -----Original Message----- From: Brenda L.

By oral tradition a certain Roderick Craig is related to my Craig line which goes back to Monmouth County, NJ. My great grandfather was Archibald Tunis Craig, born 1814 or 15 In Manalapan, NJ. His parents were Elizabeth Schenck and John I. Craig. Some of that line were here as early as 1628 in New Netherlands. The story also goes that our John Craig died at the Battle of Monmouth and left at least one child. They were all members of Tennent Presby. Church at Freehold, NJ and went to the Ohio Territory which later became Indiana and Illinois.
Posting again, 'cause it has been awhile. My first Craig ancestor to come to America was Rodrick Craig, b. abt 1740 London England. Now, no matter how I attack it, I can't find parrish records indicating a line of Craigs in that area (haven't been to England but using their genealogical services) that would explain him or his ancestors living in that area. Rodrick was in the King's service when he came to America, but fought in the Revolutionary War on the side of the colonies. I'd like to find out about Rodrick's parents, siblings, etc. Since he was born in England, were they a family that was misplaced by the things happening in the message from Gary Craig? Were they originally in Scotland or Ireland? And if so, was it only his parents who were pushed out? What about aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.? I have so many questions about this, but haven't asked the right ones yet, as I've found no answers. Can anyone on the list fill in any of the blanks on Rodrick's history? I know he ended up in Indiana - I've taken photographs of his tombstone and it is still legible after 160 years or so. It is a Revolutionary War soldier stone. My line is as follows: me - b. 1948 IN James E. Clem b. 1918 d. 1996 (born and died in IN) Charles E. Clem b. 1897 d. 1981 (b. & d. IN) Clara (or Clarinda) Belle Craig b. 1874 d. 1945 (b. & d.

Teri, I have only been on this list for a couple of months. I have, however, been on some other lists which are much nastier. I just try to ignore the messages which are disgusting. Sometimes it is difficult and I have actually unsubscribed to some of those lists. I hope you will be able to find some useful genealogical information here. After all, that's why these lists exist in the first place.

I even went back and re-worded the post before I sent it. The Craig list is not a place for today's political ideologies. If you want to debate HISTORY and the Craigs....there is a lot of material.

Dear Cousins, I may be very dense, but I didnt read Judys statement as a political one, but instead as pride in the fact that our ancestors actually made a difference in the time that they lived in and is a lasting elusive footprint to carry forth for the generations to come. It is a solid connection, a reinforcement, to those we seek. Personally, I want to more of my family than just the dates and places they resided; I am excited by stories that tell what personalities they had. A little of them has filtered down to form who I am. I would go further and say that if any of the signers were to come back in this day, they would not recognize the political structure we have in place today. So, good grief, get past your person political preferences and take what Judy said as a genealogical tidbit all I heard her say was that she was touched to hear the quote not that she was thrilled or disappointed with the outcome. I would also like to say that this list is one of the most active that I belong to. It is not always relevant to my CRAIG line, but it is always busy. And like any group, I wont always like what everyone says, I can take what I like and leave the rest. As Abe Lincoln said you can please some of the people some of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of the time. Im not a really big fan of Lincoln, but I that surely does negate that he said some very lasting, stirring sentiments.

teri Shame on you.
Hi all, I am indeed sorry that some of you take offense so easily. I have always known the real "Craigs" are never afraid to speak their minds. (At least the older ones did!) I enjoyed reading these points of view. It is very easy to hit DELETE, if you don't care to read the replies on a subject you aren't interested in. Vickie
