For Tolliver Craig/Mary Hawkins' Descendants: I did open post it about a year ago. Give me a day or two and I'll do it again. In the meantime chek out this website: <www.dagwoodsrestaurant.com> (p.s. I have not commercial interest in this) Ron Gollberg, Asheville, NC

I'd like it too. Open posting, maybe? Mom made it, but she didn't use a recipe and after a stroke the recipe was gone. She is too, now.

I think you should post the Elijah Craig bread pudding recipe on the Craig site for everyone.

I would love the Elijah Craig recipe for bread pudding since we are related to him and I am trying to get my children to take an interest and pride in where they came from. The recipe would be fun. Through my husband we go back to Mayflower and that makes Thanksgiving more meaningful. My children are young adults. Thank you. Deana Woolfolk Costner deanaco@cs.com

Hi Cousins, I am new to the Craig's root line. My mother's maiden name was Craig. I am searching for her ancestors and have hit a major road block. I am hoping someone out there is related. **In order, my mother was Betty Craig. She was born in Nov 1918. She had 5 siblings. They were all born in Clark County, Springfield, Ohio. **Her father was Foster J Craig b 1894 also in Springfield (mom Goldie Fern Nave) **Foster's father was Harry Craig (who was a twin to Harley Craig) born 2 Nov 1865. They had half siblings (different mom) named Owen, Willie and Fannie. All born and died in Springfiled. **Harry's father was William Craig born Oct 1840 and died 1897, both in Springfield. William had siblings named John, Jasper and Margaret. **Their father was Robert Craig born 1799 (but I do not know where) but he died in Springfield in 1850. Robert had two brothers (Andrew b 1801 and Alexander b 1805) **Robert's father was James Craig. He was born in 1753, I believe around Chester, New Hampshire. He died in 1829, in Springfield. His brother, John, b 1758 also died in Springfield. They both served in the Revoluntionary War out of Concord New Hampshire. I know that my Uncle John had a daughter Anna, who married Lewis Skillings. From there, I am lost. I have read that James' and John's dad was Andrew Craig who was born approx 1710 in Ireland and died in 1776 on retreat from Canada during the war. His father may have been Alexander Craig, an early New Hampshire settler....but I have no proof. Does any of this sound familiar? Would love to hear from cousins!!! Marianne in Phoenix Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

While I have no info to help you with the query, your CRAIG connections are of interest. I am desc from another Robert CRAIG (1744-1842), son of David, who lived first in Lancaster Co PA, then Washington Co VA (Abingdon). According to family legend, David CRAIG emigrated with his BROTHERS, possibly John, Thomas and William, but they quickly went their separate ways. This Robert, after being a Capt in the Pa militia, may have been in Abingdon at the time of the Battle of Kings Mountain (1781), but may NOT have been. (There are several others CRAIGs, including a Robert who were.) WHERE in Northern Ireland did you find CRAIG graves? David CRAIG apparently came over with/through the EWINGs and may have come from the vicinity of Coleraine, as they did. (Any EWINGs tied up with your kin?) Robert CRAIG was a first or second cousin of the numerous EWINGs of PA, MD and VA. John ANDREWS

He married (2) Sarah Elledge 1809 in KY ----(Note: IF THIS IS TRUE and since Isaac Nickell's parents are also John Nickell and Barbara McCombe, then my Robert Craig b.1781 married his 1st cousin, Elizabeth Nickell b.1784) The Craigs and Nickells(Nickles) have always been "close". I have found both buried together in Northern Ireland. Looking for help proving the above connection.

My husband's gg-grandfather was a George Washington Craig. He fought in the Indian Wars in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and was involved in the chase of Chief Joseph. My husband's g-grandmother was Mary Craig, who was too young to remember her father, as he apparently died rather young. Could we be talking about the same man?

Enmanning: Hi cuz. My great grandfather was Nathaniel Craig, son of Leonard, younger brother of William Morgan. I, too, am interested in finding information on Leonard. There was a recent email to the Craig Line indicating Leonard was born in SC (not TN as indicated on an old census record) as was his wife, Mary (Nancy) Whitaker. I don't have a birthdate or birthplace on William Morgan, nor on his civil war record. Nathaniel enlisted in November 1861 in Tennessee - did William Morgan enlist same time? Would appreciate info on your family. So would Betty Huggins at bettyh@HiWAAY.net and Mary Lea at marylea@earthlink.net. They have done extensive work on Leonard Craig's family but, like we, haven't had much luck going back earlier.

I too am a Craig descendant and a born again Christian, and having buried my 42 year old husband after 19 years of marriage and being left alone with 2 very young children can without question attest to the power of the Lord and the power of prayer. I have no problem with Bud posting a prayer request, or anyone else for that matter. What I would respectfully request however is that responses of prayer offered and thank you's for those prayers be dealt with privately. As a working mom my time on genealogy research is limited.

Hi Cousins- I agree with Ann that prayer requests should be continued to be posted and responses should be private. However, I love the personal touch of this list and disagree that it should stick to hard genealogy. Ron Gollberg, are you out there? Your recipe for Elijah Craig bread pudding has been made several times and my husband begs for it. Cassie, descendant of Tollliver and Mary Polly

I just got my copy of Tuttle Book's latest catalog of genealogies and they have a copy of CRAIGS of Goulbourn and North Gower, by james B. Craig, 220 pp; photocopy; flex vinyl cover, 1929. $35.00 Perhaps someone would like to have this .... And while I'm here, I'll try once again to find some connection to my Craigs .... Here's what I know: On May 6th, 1849, Alexander Craig and Ann Cunningham, both residing in Pollokshaws Burgher Church Parish, were registered for proclamation of Banns 3 days. The above parties were married at Pollokshows on May 22, 1849 by the Rev. James C. Maclaurin, Minister, Will Sewell, Session Clerk. (From the old parochial registers now in the custody of the Registrar General in Edinburgh). In 1851, Alexander Craig (head of household, aged 22, bleacher, born Eastwood, Renfrewshire) and Ann Craig (his wife, aged 25, powerloom weaver, born Paisley Renfrewshire) were living at 16 Harriet Street, Pollokshaws. I believe they had five children, all born in Scotland: William Cunningham Craig, born 20 Sep 1854, at 5 Queen Mary Street, christened 17 Dec 1854 James MacDougall Craig, born 14 Nov 1857 (or possibly 1851), d. 1922 North Andover, MA Elizabeth Craig, born 30 Mar 1859, at 37 Dale Street, Bridgeton, christened 1 June 1859 Ann Craig, born 29 Jan 1862, at 243 Dalmarnock Road, Glasgow, christened 13 Apr 1862 Alexander Craig, born 3 Dec 1864, at 9 Dunn Stret, Glasgow, christened 5 Feb 1865 Four of the christenings were recorded at the London Road United Presbyterian Church, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. Alexander (father) was employed as a stoker, fireman, or porter at the time of the christenings. In 1881, Ann Craig, 56, housekeeper, was widowed and living at 3 Newhall Street, Barony, Lanark, Scotland, with daughter Elizabeth Craig, age 22, occupation Cotton Weaver, unmarried at the time of the 1881 census. In 1891, Ann Craig, head of house, widow, aged 65, housekeeper, born Paisley, Renfrewshire, Elizabeth (her daughter, unmarried, aged 32, weaver, born Glasgow), and Alexander (her son, aged 26, general labourer, unemployed) were living at 43 Adelphi Street in Bridgeton. James MacDougall Craig married Ellen Wilson (born 16 Jan 1860 Scotland, died April 13, 1938, Stafford Springs, CT) in Scotland and they came to the United States in 1880. One of his sisters (probably Ann) married Alexander Peacock in Scotland (they had no children). She was in the United States (working at the Nevins Home in Methuen, MA) when her brother James MacDougall Craig died in 1922, but she went back to Scotland sometime later. When James MacDougall Craig died on 1922, his brother Alexander was still alive in Scotland. Still looking for anyone related in any way! Kay Gleason great-granddaughter of James MacDougall Craig
