Taliaferro Craig's son Jeremiah Craig was at the Battle of Blue Licks, which followed directly the seige of Bryan's Station, where many of the Taliaferro Craig line were under seige by British-led Indians. Bill Davis Sunday, February 17, 2008 Louisville Courier-Journal Byron Crawford Team to seek signs of Blue Licks battle The place where Daniel Boone's son, Israel, and 77 other Kentucky frontiersmen were killed by British and Indians during the Battle of Blue Licks is about to be visited by historians and archaeologists with highly sensitive metal-detection devices. "We have a good shot at finding something if anything is still there," said Morehead State University history professor Adrian Mandzy, an expert in European battlefield archaeology. "More than likely we'll be able to find a number of musket balls … generally there may be metal buttons; gun parts periodically will appear in these kinds of surveys, and with Native Americans, possibly any kind of metal bead fragments." Blue Licks State Park naturalist Paul Tierney said, "You were losing Kentucky's political and military leaders at that time, people who were responsible for occupying and populating Kentucky. "The majority of those people were gone in 15 to 20 minutes in this battle," he added. The bodies of some of the Kentuckians who died in fighting after an ambush are buried in a common grave under a simple stone marker on the park grounds. No archaeological site preparation was done on the battlefield area before development of the area as a health spa during the 19th century, or later when it became a park, so few -- if any -- artifacts from the battle are known to exist. The park has one musket ball which is said to have been found on the grounds many yeas ago, but no one knows where. During the 1990s, the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program determined that all the bulldozing and building that had occurred at Blue Licks over the years had destroyed so much of the site's integrity that it no longer qualified for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Discovery of tangible evidence of the battle could restore eligibility to the National Register for part of the battlefield and would aid in the protection of territories where artifacts from the battle may remain. History students from Morehead State will join Mandzy, Tierney and members of BRAVO (Battlefield Recovery and Archeology Volunteer Organization) of New Jersey in searching areas where much of the fighting is believed to have occurred. "Most of what we're going on are people's remembrances long after the event," said John Patrick Downs, program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Parks. "It was a long time before Americans considered spots like that sacred ground … and back in 1782, they were spending a lot of time fighting for their lives, because that was still literally frontier." The archaeological survey of the battlefield could begin by late March or early April. Byron Crawford's column appears on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

I am looking for any additional information on the following especially the parents and siblings of James Craig. From the OPR... James Craig, shoemaker in Kilmarnock and Margaret Smith, daughter of the deceased John Smith, farmer in Wylieland in the Parish of Fenwick, both in this Parish, were booked on Saturday, March 25,1751 and after orderly proclamation three several Sabbaths were married on Tuesday April 9,1751 by Mr. Locke. Furnished by the Baird Institute. Sometime after their marriage, James and Margaret moved to N. Ireland, County Antrim and according to an old letter given their son William who came to America and landed in Philadelphia July 28,1783 they lived 3 miles outside of "Bellymany"/Ballymoney. They had the following children and there are those who say the children were born in Scotland but I have not found any evidence of this so I have to think they were born in Ireland. the children were: Katherine who married a Daughtery before William left for America on May 17,1783, Margaret, Betsy/Elizabeth, Nancy, Ann, John, Alexander who was a Quartermaster in the British Army during the Rev War, and sailed back home about the time William was coming here. William born c.1761 married Mary Richards, daughter of John and Mary Ramsey Richards, in Lancaster Co., PA. They settled in Clarion Co., PA after living in Indiana County and for a short time in Erie County. Mary Ramsey Richards was the daughter of Robert Ramsey. I will be more than happy to trade any info. Pegi Please e mail me directly at pegisist@earthlink.net Pegi OR Rod Nelson pegisist@earthlink.net

Author: RoseStout54 Surnames: Craig, Roberts, Smith Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.craig/4635/mb.ashx Message Board Post: John S. Craig Dead. Another Old citizen of Emporia Passed Away Friday Morning at 5:30 O'clock. Friday morning brought sadness to the Craig home, at 213 West Street. The husband and father died at 5:30 o'clock, after a long and painful illness. In December, 1887, Mr. Craig was first taken ill, and has suffered since that time acute and lingering pains. A postmortem examination this morning showed the cause of death to be cancer of the stomach. His age was 72 years. He was a native of Ohio, and was married in 1844 to Miss Emily Smith, who survives him. The bereaved family consists of the wife and seven children, four boys and three girls. The sons are, William A, in Osage county, E. E., in Montana, R. L., in Texas, and C. J., in Morris county. The daughters are Mrs. Ida Roberts, in Morris county, and the Misses Minnnie and Brosie Craig who are at home. Mr. Craig has resided with his family in Emporia since 1868, and during that time he was active in promoting the best interests of the city. He was always guided by a firm belief in the Christian religion, and was a life-long member of the Congregational church. He was a Mater Mason, and the funeral will be conducted by that organization. The remains will be interred in Maplewood cemetery. The time of the funeral will be announced as soon as the sons can be heard from. The intelligence of the death of Mr. Craig will be received among his friends everywhere with profound sorrow and regret, as he was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew him. His disposition is shown by the patience with which he has borne the suffering of the past five years. The deceased has held important public positions during his residence in this city and county, among them was that of the office of county clerk, assessor, etc. Although his illness has been of long duration it was thought by his friends that he would eventually recover. His death, there fore, will be a surprise and shock to the community. The bereaved family will have the profound sympathy of many friends who have known and respected him during his long and useful life as a citizen and neighbor. Emporia Weekly Republican Emporia, Lyon County, Kansas Thursday, April 21, 1892 page - 3 *** column - 3 ************ Funeral of J. S. Craig. At the First Congregational Church Yesterday Afternoon Conducted by Rev. W. H. Hunt. The funeral of John S. Craig, took place from the First Congregational church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The sunshine of Easter Sunday, was beautiful yet it seemed sand to be present at such exercises following so closely upon the celebration of Easter morn. The remains of John S. Craig were conveyed to the church by about one-hundred members of the Masonic lodge and deposited upon a catafalque in front of the altar, which was covered by a beautiful array of flowers. The selected choir, Mesdames Penny and Harris, R. G. Broadie and W. H. Dudley furnished the song service and Rev. W. H. Hunt preached the sermon. The lessons from which he drew the theme were such as would be in accordance, with the risen Christ, as taught by the celebration of Easter. the grave is not the end, but the beginning of a home beyond, and to which all are commended. The remarks were earnest and thoughtful and contained no lessons of gloom or darkness, but carried his hearers to a higher plane, that of contemplating the works of Christ and his promises to those who follow his teachings. The services concluded, the friends, who filled every seat in the church, were permitted to view the remains. Among those in attendance were noticed especially the old citizens and settlers of Emporia and Lyon county, who were gathered for a common purdose, that of paying the last tribute to their esteemed friend. The remains were interred in Maple wood cemetery, and the performance of the last sad rites was witnessed by a large concourse of people. The pall-bearers were, H. C. cross, William Martindale, Van R. Homes, Isaiah Jones and Judges Graves and Buck.

I am still trying after 20 plus years to find my John Craig. Here is the story, once again: I think he was b. about 1760.Maybe he was a Patriot soldier originally. My g.g.g.grandfather John Craig and his descendants have been here in southwestern New Brunswick since 1783/84. Old John was a Loyalist Soldier in the 84th Regiment (Royal HIghland Emigrants) and received land grant here, along with many of the other soldiers shortly after the Revolutionary War. He and wife Sarah (Smith, we believe) had 5 children: John S., Joseph, Elizabeth, Sarah and Lydia. I have complete genealogy from that point till now. Hope this is helpful and that I will hear from you. Cal Craig

Children of the marriage: Samuel b. 4/24/1831 Logan Co, Brouillett Twn., IL. Richard J b. 1/20/1833 " " Phoebe Ann b. 8/24/1835 " " Sarah Jane b. 12/13/1837 " " John Thomas b. 10/10/1839 " " Around 1839 or 1840 it is said that both Eli & Experience were abducted/killed? by Indians. In the book I have there is no date listed for the death of Experience, only for Eli. We know that when she was younger a young Indian tried to purchase her from her father for 2 horses in trade, which her father, Jacob Jones, turned down. The children were farmed out to live with different families, however we do have quite a bit of history on each one of them. My husbands line comes down through the youngest son, John Thomas. The actual oldest mention of a Craig is a pc. of paper in the Craig family Bible that belonged to John Thomas states that there was a Thomas Bennett Crago whom came on ship from England to Virginia in 1742, which is now Green County, Pa.(In 1742 this was West Moreland Co., Va.). There was also a marriage found in Ohio of Eli Craigo to a Mary Davis on 8/29/1822 in Preble Co., OH. So it is very possible that the marriage to Experience Jones could have been his second marriage. This is mainly the first lines of the family we have real records of. Thanks Janna Craig Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
