Bernice, thanks for including all in your answer to Jonathan. He has been trying to locate you, but we had not your new address. I have been spending some time in and researching Greenbrier County to try to tie down William's parentage. Am getting closer, but not there yet. Cannot find as many Craigs in Greenbrier at that time as is generally reported, but there is a family with name spelled Creigh, so cannot rule them out. Best evidence so far is Diehl's statement that William had red hair. That seems to put him into the Craig/Nickle clan. I think we will get closer. I may go over there today. It is about two hours away, but great lunches at the Greenbrier resort, about 12 miles east of Lewisburg. Daley

While William Craigs are being discussed, thought I would pitch mine out again - researching William Craig of Maury Co. , TN, born by 1775, in York, S.C./Mecklenburg, N.C. area; died end of 1829 or early 1830 in Maury Co., TN. First wife was Jennet Campbell of Mecklenburg Co., N.C. (married 1798); second wife Sophia - surname unknown. Suspect William was son of Samuel Craig, who died in 1780 at Battle of Hanging Rock, and Ann Brownfield Craig. Associated with Polk, Campbell, Latta and Beard families in middle Tennessee.

Hello again, all Craig researchers! I noticed Jonathan's posting and thought I'd send him a bit of information to get him going, and then decided I would send my reply to all you Craig reserchers as well just in case any of you are interested. Below is my letter to Jonathan. Hopefully others researching the same line will respond as well. As Always....Bernice Klassen Hello Jonathan: I too have been researching William Craig! I have 5 zip disks full of information. But, I cannot make my connection between My ancestor who we know belongs to us Henricus Craig and who we believe to be his father.... Joseph William Craig. picture attached! Yes Joseph was William's son, in all the research I have done, that one fact for sure is absolutely proven.

I am very curious about your Henricus Craig and what information you have on him....... All the best.....

Ludovic Grant married (2) Unknown Cherokee woman if the Wolf Clan circa 1726 . She was born circa 1700 ( source Emmet Starr,305,466,561,563 ) Notes for Ludovic Grant: On page 466, Starr states that Ludovic Grant married a woman of the Long Hair Clan; However, on page 561 and 563 it states that he married a member if the Wolf Clan . (Two wifes, or a typo?) The name Eughiootie was found in the booklet called Cherokee Blood Newsletter-Spring 1983-Vol.1 Her "white mans" name was elizabeth Coody (This name is found in Geneaology of Old & New Cherokee indian family by George Morrison bell. SR.) Elizabeth was the daughter of KAN-YAN-TEE-HEE the son of Corn Tassel Born circa 1670 at Chota City Of Refuge. She also had a brother named Chief Old Tassel who was killed under a flag of truce in 1788 and was noted for an eloquent speech he gave at Long Island. Ludovic was the Clan Chief of the Grant holdings in Scotland ( Note: There is controversy as to his being Clan Chief at such a Young age; around 18 years old. There is also controversy as to The line, Some believe he was son of Ludovic not John.) After losing the war in the Jacobite Rebellion ludovic was captured by the British at Preston and banished to the " New World" . Ludovic arrived in the Carolinas and moved in with the Cherokee. His cousins all went to Boston and The Caribbian area. Sir Alexander Cuming, in his brief Journal which appeared in the Historical Register of London for 1731, described his adventures in the Cherokee nation in 1730 when, with the aid of Ludovic grant, he convinced seven young Cherokees ( Including future Chief , ATTAKULLAKULLA, the "Little Carpenter" ) to visit England and King George II. This was an attempt by the King to recruit the Cherokee to fight the French. In a statement recorded on page 301 of the Charleston ,South Carolina probate Court in the book of "1754-1758" in a sworn statement of january 12, 1756 says, "It is about thirty years since I went into the Cherokee Country where I have resided ever since" "I speak their language". Ludovic Grant Blood Scottish Christened: April 12, 1702, Irvine Scotland Emigration 1: May 07, 1716, from Scotland to the "New World" Emigration 2: circa 1726, To Cherokee Nation as an Indian Trader.

Note: Will Emory, was the Renagade Cherokee who ran with the Shawnees and became known as Captain Will. The name is somewhat infamous in frontier kentucky annals because of Captain Will's relationship to Daniel Boone and an attack on Boonesboro. Child of Mary grant and William Emory Elizabeth Emory Married her second husband John Rogers SR. born 1755 died ukn. Blood English. Occupation Trader. Note: John Rogers (arguably) started the Rogers Surname which include Chief William Charles Rogers, Diana (Tiana) (Rogers) Houston (General Sam Houstons wife) and Will Rogers.According to the Chronicles Of Oklahoma "The interesting Old White Trader John Rogers SR. departed the East with a party of emigrants on Oct, 17 1817 arriving among the Cherokees settled on the White River on April, 18, 1818". John Rogers lived and traded with the Indians since pre Revolutionary War times. He first married Elizabeth Due Grandaughter of Ludovic Grant first known White trader among the Cherokee.

Charles Rogers SR. married (1) Nannie Downing, (2) He married Rachel Hughes born Circa 1790 and died after 1851.she was the daughter of Daniel Hughes and Elizabeth Ward. Note: Rachel Hughes is descended fron a long line of famous Cherokees including Nancy Ward A.K.A. NANYE-HI-FIVEKILLER Born 1738 in Chota City Of Refuge North Carolina Cherokee nation, Now Tennesee. She died at Womankiller Ford, Cherokee Nation, ( Now Polk County Tennesee ). There was a tremendous amount of information written about Nancy Ward. She is mentioned in Teddy Roosevelt's Book On The West, The Virginia State Papers, The South Carolina State Papers, In Mooneys Book and The Draper Collection.There is a Chapter of The American Daughters Of the Revolution named after her in Tennesee., and there is a Descendants Of Nancy Ward Association on Oklahoma. As a child Nancy ward was called "Wild Rose" Later after having been lost and having a vision of the spirit people helping her find her way home she was named "Nanye'hi" which means "One who is with the Spirit People". Later During the Battle of Taliwa against the Creeks she was Chewing the bullets her husband Kingfisher was using. He was shot and killed. She then took up his Rifle and joined the fight. For her heroics in Battle she was named "Ghi'hau" or Beloved Woman". In her teens and a widowed mother of two daughters she was given the title of Chieftainess. As "Beloved Woman" she was a Peace Negotiator and Ambassador for her people. She became a strong advocate of human rights for both red and white men.She had a strong voice for peace and attended many meetings between the white settlers the government and her people. She was involved in many of the treaties. Nancy ward brought the first cows th the Cherokee Nation. She wrote the "White father" President saying "Our people would have more hoes, plows, seed, Cotton carding and looms for weaving. They would learn your way of Cultivation. If you would send these things we will put them to good use". And he did. He also sent agents to administer and help. Nancy was a Revolutionary war patriot in that she gave aid (Cattle and Clothing) to Colonel Seiver and his men during the Revolution. Nancy ward had a vision where she saw " A great line of our people marching on foot. Mothers with babies in their arms. Fathers with small children on their back. Grandmothers and Grandfathers with large bundles on their backs. They were marching West and the "Unaka" ( White Soldiers ) were behind them. They left a trail of corpses the weak, the sick who could not survive the journey". This dream proved to be prophetic. On December 29, 1835 Thirteen years after her death, a removal treaty was signed. The Cherokee called this journey the "Nunna-da-ult-sun-yi" The Trail Where They Cried. The Trail Of Tears. Nancy ward A.K.A Tsituna-Gus-Ke -"Wild Rose" Nanyi'hi -"One who is with the spirit people" Ghi'hau -"Beloved Woman/Mother" Skiagusta - "War Woman Of Chota" Granny ward Nancy ward was of the Wolf Clan she lived in the overhills settlement.

They had at least one child, Ira Eugene Craig, My gggrandfather. If anyone has any kind of information, I would be so grateful. It seems that I have hut a brick wall. Thank you.

Hi I'm researching the William Craig that came to USA and settled in German or Union Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. In the year 1801 we know he had a General Merchandise Store. He had 12 children who were: Andrew, John, Esther, Joseph, James, William, Thomas, Elener, John, Martha, Sarah, and Robert. Thomas was born in Pennsylvania, then went to New Jersey, then Illinois. Is anyone researching the same craig lines. Jackie

My William Craig the Mountain Man died 1869. I am trying to find out if he had a son with Jane Ivason, a Scottish Lady from Canada. Wiiliam Craig had an Indian wife Isabel and a Son Joseph William Craig. I have a picture of him in Nez Perse clothing. He was a half breed and some say he married a white woman. I need to find out who he married. My Grandfather was Charles Henry Craig and was born in 1880. William Craig the mountain man, and Walla walla's first Postmaster in 1859, woild have been about 60 years old. Did he leave his Nez perse wife in Lapwai and go to Walla Walla to get more respectable, marry Jane Ivason and have a child when he was 60? Or was Joseph William Craig the son of William and Isabel (Thunder eyes daughter) have a son named Charles Henry or Henricus Craig? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark & Lin Mayberry <mark&lin@tenforward.com> To: <CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2000 7:16 PM Subject: Re: [CRAIG-L] William Craig > We have a JOSEPH CRAIG b.1811 in Pennsylvania, married to Telitha Runyon.

Thank you so much for your response. I am checking out this information with my mother (whom I am taking over the Craig research from) and hopefully this will be the break we have been looking for, or at least a push in the right direction. There were a lot of George Craig's back then, hopefully there is a tie here. Thanks again, I will let you know what I discover. Erin Scot Craig Denver, CO

Just wish I weren't so far behind so I could pull your ear also. From reading your message, you know the fear so many people have had and are still having in Oklahoma. In 1970, I was overseas and heard very little about things like the fire you had. So sorry to hear that that happened. I have a cousin in Oregon whose National Guard son has had his fire fighting team called out several times this year. I worry a lot about him, as I know his parents do, too. I also have a cousin in Idaho whose husband is a firefighter. He has been fighting fires all summer. Thanks so much for the prayers. The fires in this area have been contained, but still have hot spots and occasional flare ups. The local Red Cross chapter reported today that 47 homes were destroyed. The fire came to the edge of town and they were able to contain it there. God was good because no one was killed or even seriously hurt. There are still many serious fires around the state. Thanks again. I'll welcome a good ear pulling anytime. Just hope I have more time when it happens again. Bud

Jim: I have no close relative with the name Craig now. My last Craigs in direct line was about 1780 or so. I have two Craig lines. One supposedly from Ireland about 1715 to Virginia, and one from Scotland about 1650 and to New Jersey. I have no documentation. Others do have documentation on most of the New Jersey line.
