Now, I'll remember where the name Perth Amboy came from. Do you know if the article you found said when the name Perth was added? Actually, I am trying to find out where my ancestor Archibald Craig, son of John and Ursula Orsella Craig, came from. He was born 1678 in Scotland and died in Freehold, New Jersey. Someone reported that he was from Amboy, Scotland. Now, I wonder if he came to Perth Amboy then to Freehold. Somebody sure was confused and caused confusion. Thanks again. Bud Caudle Guthrie, OK

Bud: No, the article didn't mention an actual year or date. I'm betting it was later than when Archibald was in Jersey, though. Should be easy enough to prove, maybe just by looking for history on that fellow James Drummond. Glad I could help... I love little mysteries like that. Of course this all means you're back to Square One about where he was born in Scotland. :-( Mark -----Original Message----- From: BnLFAMILY@aol.com [mailto:BnLFAMILY@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2000 8:35 pm To: CRAIG-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CRAIG-L] Amboy name is...
