I am curious about your Craig links to the Glasgo area. Mt Craigs are from Abbey Renfrew Scotland aound 1750. My ancestor Thomas Craig was born 3/2/1754. He may be the son of John Craig and Margrat Anderson. I am not sure where this is located in Scotland. Any possible leads would be greatly appreciated. My Thomas Craig also emigrated to America prior to 1776 and fought in the American Revolution in Mass. He died in 1840. He was also married to Elizabeth Allen the dau. of Joseph Allen and Elizabeth Parsons of Northhampton MA. ----- Original Message ----- From: Glasgow Boy <duncan@mcintosh1943.freeserve.co.uk> To: <CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2000 1:52 AM Subject: [CRAIG-L] Scottish Craigs > To be fair to Craig list I was offered to set up a team for Scottish based Craigs.

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.
