Bob Lynch Of KC,MO and The List: I've always thought or at least believed my Craigs came through the "Irish Settlement" or was related to those who did. In the information you listed(see below), I noted: "Colonel Robert Craig, D. C. of the regular army and a graduate of West Point". Have you checked to see what his West Point records say? Could be interesting. Sincerely, Deane 'DOC' Craig Las Vegas, Nevada (my oldest proven direct line ancestor is Robert Craig born 1781 VA and is buried in Edgar Co., Illinois) On Mon, 01 May 2000 21:56:05 -0500 "Bob D.

James, being a member of the Craig-l and also a list owner myself, you cannot send attachments to a rootsweb list serve, you must direct it to a personal email address. (possibly of one of the Craig web page group, then they might put it up on the page. Then you can send a message with the URL so with one click anyone on the list wanting to go see it, and perhaps recognize it can. Sandra JAMES ALEXANDER CRAIG Said: Hello all..... I am calling from N.Ireland...........and have been trying to trace my Craig line ..for a while........but am still having problems ..getting that vital connection on that side of the pond.........I found the other day in an old trunk.. an old faded pic. of a house I believe was taken somewhere in America. I have tried to send it over there..but it keeps coming back as not being able to deliver...I would like iy passed around the Craigs..to see if it can be reconised..or if anyone can throw some light on the pic......Do you have an e-mail address I could try to send it too..or can anyone be of assistance to enable me to send it..( I attach it as usual..but it does not seem to want to be delivered........ Thanking you for any help you can give......JAMES ALEXANDER CRAIG
To all those out there who are discouraged and upset about "bickering" All I can say is 1) Is it really so hard to change the subject line (a few just never seem to get it). I belong to several lists and get very aggravated when I see a bunch of "re..... " and it is totally irrelevant to what they have to say - I'm sure I may have missed some good information or an opportunity to perhaps help another because the subject line was something that I didn't are to read. 2) Like I said, I belong to several lists (after all, I'm related to several families!) If you hang in there long enough something someone has to say will help - maybe, you will have an opportunity to be of service to others (I have a lot of stuff in my searching that has turned out to be someone else's "stuff" - I'm not going to just thro it out!!!). Quit being so small minded thinking only what's going to be there for you - personally, I think my CRAIG family came to TX and creep into the woodwork - I can find no one related that I didn't already know. 3) Traits: Religion: Methodist; education: very important (in other words, Teachers 'n Preachers). Great longevity; Height: average (men 5'10"-6'3" - women 5'2"-5'8"). My line: (1). John Burton CRAIG b. ca. 1794 Buncombe Co, NC d. 1869 Hopkins Co, TX (flu) m.

Lauri: Craig History and Gemealogy, by Winchell McKendree Craig, 1956, pp. 88-90 reads as follows; About 1700, a family of Craigs, consisting of four brothers and three sisters, Daniel, Thomas, James, William, Sarah, Margart and Jane, came from the North of Ireland, presumably from Derry, to Eastern Pennsylvania. Daniel Craig had a daughter, Sarah, who married John Barnhill; thier daughter Margaret married Cornelius V. S. Rosevelt, and their son Theodore, married Martha Bullock, the son of Theodore and Martha Rosevelt was President Theordore Roosevelt of the United States. In 1728, Thomas, James, and William Craig, with their sister, Jane and her husbnad, John Boyd went from Philadelphia to a place on Catasaqua Creek within the bounds of the present Northampton County, Pa., and founded the "Craig Settlement" later known as the "Irish Settlement". There were at least six or more descendants of these Craigs who served in the war of the American Revolution; among them was a grandson of Thomas Craig, also Thomas Craig who served from the beginning to the close of the Revolution in 1774 as Second Lieutenant, was promoted successively to the offices of Captain, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel in 1776 and 1777, Bevvetted Grigadier General in 1783, and in 1807 becaume Major General of the 7th Division Pennsylvania Militia. He had a son, Thomas, who had four sons, Colonel John Craig who served in the Civil War as Colonel of the 147th PA Regiment; the later Judge Allen Craig of Mauch Chuck Pa. Mr. William Craig of Blue Springs, Nebraska and Colonel Robert Craig, D. C. of the regular army and a graduate of West Point. General Thomas Craig had a brother, John Craig who was commissiined December 2, 1778, and served as Captain in the 4th Regiment PA, Light Dragoon and was promoted by General Washington the best horseman in the army. Ke was Sheriff of Northampton County, Pa. from 1793 to 1796. Captain Samuel Craig of this connection served six years in the continental line from Pa, and after the close of the was settled in Green county, TN" Oliver Perry Temple of Knoxville, Tennessee was a grandson of Samuel and said that his broters were Thomas Craig a Colonel, Isaac Craig a Major, and John and James as Captains. Losts of records on descendants of Captain Samuel Craig in the DAR. I am working on Book on the descendants of Samuel Craig, but figured it would be great if found information on his parents and family. Bob Lynch KC MO

Charles and Ann are buried in St. Paul's Episcopal Church cemetery in Alexandria, VA. Please reply directly to Elizabeth at <Pageduane@aol.com> if you have any information. Thanks, Bob Craig

James, if you want to send the house picture in US to me, I will see that it is circulated to determine if any of the Craig fans recognizes it so that you can fix location in this country of your ancestors who came across. May be best to mail it to me, and I will get it into the CRAIG-LINKS publication, as well as try to E-mail it here in this country. My address is 715 Half Mile Branch Road, Crozet, Virginia 22932. If you know date of when your folks came, that may be important because house styles varied considerably as to time as well as to region. The newer styles, such as Georgian, Queen Ann, Federalist, Greek Revival, etc., appeared earlier in the more inhabited areas than upon the frontier, so any clues help. The frontier houses can be dated by whether the logs were round, or subjected to the broad ax; whether the floors were or puncheons; whether there are any sawn boards, etc. Likewise, windows tell a lot, because big panes (above about 10 inches) were not generally available until after our Civil war over here. Shipping was apparently the biggest problem, though manufacture played a part. Until the 20th century we had Chestnut trees, and many, if not most, of the log cabins and log houses (log cabins covered with clapboard) were of Chestnut, which is the single reason many of them still stand. I am at this moment typing from one which is 250 years old - aged by our standards in this country- and the logs are unbelievably hard. The worms cannot get into them. Daley Craig
To Lauri & Bob Lynch I am working on York Co., S.C./Mecklenburg Co., S.C. Craigs, in particular William Craig - born S.C. by 1775, died Maury Co., TN before March 30, 1830. Sons Samuel W., John Franklin and probably William Jackson; daughters Matilda, Eliza, Mary or Mariah, Jane C. & Louisa. All but William Jackson and Louisa were by first wife, Jennet Campbell, who William married in Mecklenburg in 1798. Other two children presumed to be by second wife, named "Sophia" in estate settlement papers. I think this William may have been the son of Samuel and Ann Brownfield Craig of York Co., S.C. Samuel was killed at Battle of Hanging Rock in 1780. Their land records first appear in Mecklenburg Co. - 1760s. You probably already know this - but we have more than one William Craig in early York Co./Mecklenburg Co. records. ---------- >From: Lalaz5@aol.com >To: CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [CRAIG-L] Samuel Craig >Date: Sat, Apr 29, 2000, 11:42 AM > > Bob, > Are you positive on the Thomas, brother of Samuel information?

Lauri >> I've had the same kind of luck with my William Craig. It's like he didn't exist before 1860 nor after 1870.. Can't find anyone who is connected to him... You would think with all those thousands of Craigs out there someone would belong to me... Bonnie
To All: Can anybody identify the family of Frank Gray Craig who m. Jane Catherine Sparks, 15 Nov 1866, in KY? They had children: Nancy Isabelle, George Francis, Dille and Samuel Wesley. This is information from Jane Reichlein's book "The Samuel Givens Family and Kin" and I am only trying to sort out all the different Craig families mentioned in the book. Bob Craig
