Donna: Can you tell me where your Samuel Levi Craig is buried? My maternal ggrandfather was named Samuel Craig, and one of his sons, my maternal grandfather, was named Charles Levi Craig. Holding my breath on this one, Pat in WA State

The story that has been passed down through our family is that Robert Johnson was Capt John's business partner. The Capt became infirm of mind in his last years and Robert Johnson was made the executor of the estate.....but....Robert Johnson died before Capt John. This is where the mess started. One of Wm Smith Craig's daughters (Wm Smith was the son of Lewis who went to Tn, when Wm was a small child) got some sort of a settlement from the lost land. I was told by the family that a coal mine settled up with some of the heirs. There is a big mix up in clear titles to ground still to this day. One of my aunts from KY sent me a clipping some years ago entitled "John Craig Strikes Again"!!! In our family bible, brought from KY by Lewis, Capt John (Lewis' grandfather) is entered into the bible as Capt John Hawkins Craig. It also lists his son as John Hawkins Craig. This is my family line's tradition. .............Judy *********************************************************** cato@primary.net ***********************************************************

Bud I have never heard of Amboy. Nor can I think of anything that even sounds like it. The Scots accents can corrupt a word so much that it can become unrecognisable. As very few could read and write years ago the places were just written as they sounded. Even today for example with a Glasgow accent Glasgow would sound as Glesga and Edinburgh as Embrugh. Sometimes even the correct pronounciation is nothing like the spelling. Milngavnie sounds Mullguy. and Kirkudbright sounds Kirkoobri. Kilchattan sounds Kilhatten.

Bud: One of my suspicions was right: the name Amboy is not Gaelic or Anglic at all. I did a bit of Web searching after I sent that last message, and found this bit of info about Perth Amboy, NJ: "The city's original name, Amboy, is of Native American origin. Later, Perth was added in honour of an early proprietor of East Jersey, James Drummond, 4th Earl Perth." There's your answer... you're looking in the wrong country!

Bill- As usual you have come through admirably. Do you know where I could get a copy of that lawsuit? Does the county keep those things? I have another question: You referred to Capt. John Craig (father of John Hawkins Craig). Isn't Captain John Craig's middle name Hawkins??? Thanks again. Cassie

Dear Margaret: Still around Our son has been ill since Thanksgiving. In addition to holidays and gr grand kids and two computer outages of long duration haven't been on much. I have seen the tombstones of Andrew and Mary in the Fairview cemetery in Harrison Co. Mo. I have alwas thought Andrew died 27 Dec. 1876 and Mary d. 25 Dec. 1881. I show the same birthdates you do. If I'm correct Donna"s Lineage is: Roderick and Becky John and Rebecca Jackson John and 1st wife Martha Matilda Dudley Lewis Taliffero and Julia Florence Jordan Lenna Lucile Craig ETC. I note they keep mentioning John Tolliver. Could he be the one who married Martha Matilda Dudley? Because of the two names Tolliver and Taliferro I've always been suspicious there was a connection between the In. and Ky. Craigs Hope Lois is ok.

Donna: I am not sure where the Alexander and Sarah Craig fit in that I inquired about. However, definitely in my family is another Alexander Craig. His parents were Charles CRAIG and Rachel Ashby, my g.g. grandparents. Charles was born in Ross Co., Ohio. He married Rachel and they moved on to IN. Their Alexander was born in IN. I received this information from a gracious lady who is also researching the CRAIGS of Ohio, Caroline Semper. Caroline has that their Alexander was born in 1841-1842 in IN. From IN they moved on to McLean Co., IL where Rachel and Charles are buried. I do not know if Alexander moved to IL with them or not, nor do I know who he married, or if he did marry. The only information I have on him is what I have written in this note. I do have other siblings of Rachel and Charles, one of whom,(Nancy) is my g.grandmother. Is this Alexander in your family? Marge Farmer margef@sensible-net.com Marge Farmer margef@sensible-net.com

John Craig according to his sons census records say he was born in Va or Md ca 1775-1784 and he died in Grayson Co. 13 Dec 1847. He was married to Rachel Lahew b. ca 1772-1775 and died late 1863 or early 1864. I have heard the tradition in colonial times was the first son to be named after the paternal grandfather, the second after the maternal grandfather, and the third after the father. Their oldest son was Issac Craig born in Va in 1804. The second names William Spencer Craig [most records show only Spencer] was born ca 1812-1816 and died 30 Sept 1875. He was named after his grandfather William Lahue of Wythe Co., Va. The third son born 1817 and died after 1880 was named John Jr. after his father. Jphn and Rachel came to Ohio Co., Ky. ca 1808/1809, and this became Grayson Co in 1810. Is their a spare Issac Craig out there from Va, Md or Pa that is looking for a lost son John. Charles

Paula, You need to find first the parents names, a possible birth certificate? you don't show timeframes of the people so it is hard to help that way.
