Hi James, Thanks for your generous offer! Do you think you'd be able to find anything on my gggg-grandfather? He was Robert CRAIG, born in county Donegal circa 1775; his father was John, "agricola" (some sort of farmer, I think). Robert was tutored by a Dr. Lamy (a Huguenot teacher of Raphoe). After that, he entered Trinity College, Dublin in 1795. He graduated in 1803, and became a reverend with the Church of Ireland. He married Isabella Davidson, and had at least 2 sons in Dublin, between 1806 and 1814. He ran a school in south Dublin. He died circa 1828 at Frescati (house?), Blackrock, Dublin county, and his will was proved in 1829. This is all I know about him, but I do have information on his sons, who both emigrated (not to America, though). I don't even know what resources are available for Donegal ancestry, so any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks and kind regards, Donna --- JLCR3210@aol.com wrote: > Hello............ > Can I be of any help..............for anybody searching in > N.Ireland............. > I live in N.I reland..Co.Antrim.............and have been trying to trace > my Craig family line am able to trace back about 200 years plus.........but > am having problems ..tracing any further back..but I will keep > trying.............if I can be of any help..Please contact me......good luck > James Alexander Craig > > > ==== CRAIG Mailing List ==== > All Material sent through Craig-L > is copyright 2000 by its original author. > Permission must be obtained from the original author, > for the reuse of any text "whole or in part". > Craig Genealogy Web Page > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/9791 > > ============================== > Personalized Mailing Lists: never miss a connection again. > http://pml.rootsweb.com/ > Brought to you by RootsWeb.com. > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Some Irish terms which might help those of you who are researching in Northen Ireland A BARONY - now-obsolete administrative unit which survived from feudal times to the nineteenth century. There were 58 baronies in the area which comprises the present-day Northern Ireland. COUNTY - a territorial division. There are six counties (Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Londonderry, Tyrone) in the country of Northern Ireland. All but Antrim and Down were created in 1584. The origins of Antrim and Down as county units are uncertain. PARISH - An ecclesiastical unit of territory which was early adopted as a civil administrative area. Boundaries of civil and ecclesiastical parishes came to vary from each other over time. POOR LAW UNIONS These were the areas of administration for poor relief established under the Poor Relief (Ireland) Act, 1838. Because these areas centered on large market towns to a radius of approx. 10 miles, they often tended to cross county boundaries. They became Superintendant Registrars' Districts at the end of the 19th Century. PROVINCE An ancient territorial division still in use. There are four provinces in the island of Ireland: Ulster, Munster, Connaught and Leinster. Present-day Northern Ireland comprises six of the nine counties of Ulster -- the Ulster counties of Donegal, Monaghan and Cavan lie in the Republic of Ireland. TOWNLAND The most ancient and smallest territorial division still in use. Also known as a Ballybetagh. In some cases, the spelling of townland names was subject to variation. Townlands existed long before the parishes and counties. The original Irish names were eventually written down in anglicised form as they sounded to English court scribes. A good example of names being written down in anglised form as they sounded can be found in the Raven maps (T.510/1). It is possible to trace how they became increasingly anglised in the General Alphabetical Index to the Townlands and Towns, Parishes and Baronies of Ireland and in the Ordnance Survey maps. A townland name in its original Irish form often referred to an easily identifiable feature of the landscape such as Carraig (meaning rock) or Tullagh (meaning a hill) or a botanical feature such as Annagh (meaning marsh). The social customs or history of the people who have lived in a particular place can also be reflected in the name of the townland. Often these names are the only records which survive of the families who held the land in pre-plantation times. Bally or Baile (both meaning settlement) are usually compounded with personal or family names and examples can be found all over Ireland, including such names as Ballywalter, Ballyrussel and Ballysavage. Many townlands throughout Ireland took their names from early habitation sites, both ecclesiastical and secular. Examples in this category include names with Rath (meaning fortification), Dun (meaning fort) or Chill (meaning church) in them. The easiest way to find the name of your townland is to consult the Alphabetical Index to Townlands in the PRONI web site. These indexes were compiled during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries after each census, and lists all the baronies, parishes, towns, villages and townlands that existed at the time. Townlands orginally consisted of a number of sub-divisions such as gneeves and ploughlands but they are now recognised as the smallest administrative division in the country. There are approximately 62,000 townlands in Ireland and great variations are evident in townland sizes due to the fact that their shapes and sizes are related to local topography and farming practices. Anything from five to thirty townlands may be grouped together to form a civil parish. From the seventeenth century onwards, land was let by landlords on a townland basis and townland names were recorded in a variety of documentation concerning land. For instance, the rentals of estates were organised according to townlands, the Tithe Applotment Books used the townland as its smallest division, and the townland was also used as a distinct unit in the Census and Valuation Books. Sarah. WARD or DISTRICT ELECTORAL DIVISION A ward is a subdivision of a county or municipal borough or urban district. It is a territorial unit for the purpose of elections to local councils.

I am pretty sure that Abbey is a parish in Paisley, Renfrewshire. Paisley is a town which joins on to Glasgow and today has a population of about 100,000. Centre to centre is about 7 miles and Paisley is slightly south west of Glasgow. Elvis Presleys' parents or grandparents are supposed to have come from there.

And by the way, most of the people in my Craig family are tall and have dark hair.

There seems to be so much activity on the Craig list, I thought it must be time to throw GIDEON R. (JED) CRAIG into the ring once more. Is there anyone out there that knows of this family? A brother, a sister, parents? Surely he wasn't born under the berry bush or came in on an UFO. GIDEON R. (JED) CRAIG. b. 1830 Tenn.(info from census) His parents were b. in Tenn also (taken from census) I find him in 1850 in Hempstead Ark. and not again until 1880 in Clark Co., Ark. Freenville Township. In 1900 he is in Long Creek Township, Clark Ark. Gideon is supposed to have died in 1903 and is "supposed" to be buried in Golden Ceme., Clark Ark. Did not find him listed there. Gideon married Fredonia A. Pearce daughter of Lorenzo Dow Pearce and Nancy L Beevers in 1865 Ouachita, Ark. She died before 1900. Their children were: Nancy Ann b. 26 June 1866 m. Lewis D. Golden Ouachita, Ark John Calvin b. 20 feb. 1868 m Fannie Belle Johnson Clark, Ark. Gideon Ninon b. 27 Dec. 1872 m. Barbara Huggs Ark. Charles Jefferson b. 1881 Clark, Ark m. Maude Roberts, Ark. Florence b. 1886 Thanks for listening, hoping that someone knows of siblings, etc for this man. Pat Freeman

Hi All, I've received a couple of private messages asking how to search the list archives so I thought I'd go ahead and post this to the list. Happy Hunting! Beth Shields CRAIG Team 18 Leader ************************************************************* SEARCHING THE CRAIG LIST ROOTSWEB ARCHIVES**: 1) Go to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl 2) Under "Name of List" enter CRAIG then hit "Submit Query" button. 3) Enter names or places you want to search for and the archive year you want to search. 4) You will receive a hitlist that shows how many messages contained your search word. Check items that are returned in your hitlist. They will be in order according to their "score." If you are searching for instance for "Shields", messages that contained Shields more prominently in the message will score higher than those that just have it in the signature. When you see a message you want to review, look at the line that says "select" and choose "full." This will show you the full message. If it looks like a potential match, you can e-mail the original poster since their e-mail address appears at the top of the message. 5) Make a mental note of why you don't want to send anything to a mailing list that you don't want to have archived in perpetuity for general public access.......your home address, dates you are going to be on vacation (and potentially leaving an empty house), etc. **Note that most Rootsweb mailing lists are archived, the FIRST thing you should do whenever you join one is to check the archives for your ancestors to see if you missed any previous discussions about them.

I've seen a lot of N. Carolina/Tennessee references lately, so I thought I'd throw out my brick wall: Richard Cragg/Craig b. 1/5/1773 Orange Co., NC, d. 6/05/1850 Perry Co., TN Married (1st) Frances Glamp/Glymph (12/28/1795 in Granville Co., NC)and had 10 kids. Married (2nd) Elizabeth Cates Wilson (1826/27 Maury Co., TN) and had 4 kids: 1. Elias, 2. Simpson T., 3. Solomon, 4. Ervin. Ervin (4th child of Richard/Elizabeth) was born in 1830, married Sarah A. Horner in Perry Co., TN., and died sometime after 1870 (showed up in that census). They had 7 kids: 1. John Calhoun, 2. Mary Evelyn, 3. Henry Louis, 4. Richard Cates ("Dickie"), 5. Thomas, 6. George W., 7. William Alonzo. George (6th child of Ervin/Sarah) was buried in DePriest Bend Cemetery in Perry Co., (Beardstown) TN. I have hit a brick wall in North Carolina. Anyone have any info. on Richard? Thank you, Lesia Craig Johnson jjohns43@bellsouth.net

Randy- our Thomas's have very close information, I am not sure about what I have on mine, do you know if your Thomas had a son named Samuel Lewis born1794 in Maryland or Penn-Nancy

Margo, I apologize for making you feel badly. I specifically said I was not singling you out. Your post was just a classic example of what some of us have been trying to get everyone to stop doing. I know you are new and still learning. Keep on hunting and learning. We all started somewhere, but there are folks who have been searching for a long time on the internet and they still just won't change the subject line. Please don't think I am just picking at you.....I'm not. Like you said, you are learning, sooooooo....this is a chance for you to learn. You asked a really good question. There are....or were...folks on this list researching the line you inquired about. I suspect they missed your question. Concerning subject lines.....how many of you new folks have been to the Craig Archives and searched for info on your lines??? If the poster of the past did not have a pertinent subject line, you, the searcher of today, are not going to be able to find that info. Subject lines are really important to research on the internet. That is why some of us old salts keep belly aching about it. *I* don't care particularly if I start reading a post and it is not what I am looking for.....I am quick with the delete key........BUT, I do care if you...the new researcher on the net is robbed of good info because you could not find it...all because of a mislabled subject line. I am not an angry person on this list. I just want you all to be able to squeeze everything out of this list that you can get. Again, I apologize if I hurt your feelings.......just everyone....please change your subject lines appropriately. It is for YOUR benefit ...........Judy *********************************************************** cato@primary.net ***********************************************************

I sit here at my computer and wonder if I should even bother to apologize for making the HUGE mistake of not listing my subject line as most would have wanted. But I wonder if by apologizing I will be criticized for taking up someone's time with silly things like this... The one thing I have learned from this list is you are darned if you do and darned if you don't. I would like to believe that all you angry folks out there got that way from your "otherside" of the family. Why don't you tell people right up front that you do not tolerate people "new" and "learning?" Sincerely sorry, Margot Davis

I think as more and more in the UK go online we will hear from many more who are researching Craigs in Scotland. I think all we can do at the moment is repost our interests from time to time and possibly also use the list and post articles etc we might pick up elsewhere. As you know because the name is so common in Scotland that elimination is almost as an important a factor as actually finding relatives. This I have found is particularly so with James Craigs and the like. ( There are thousands of them. ) Patience is the key , I feel. ----- Original Message -----
