Ebay has an auction of a book on a Craig family supposedly in Mason County, Kentucky. Usually I look for a Rev. Lewis Craig connection there, but this doesn't ring a bell. The minimum bid is $45.00, so it's not much of an auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=372128283 Brevoort, Eliza Haddon. Lownsdale - Hillman, Craigs and Others.

To All: Although there are scattered references for other Craigs, the Craig family in this book is that of Absolom Craig. His daughter, Heathy Craig, by Absalom's unknown first wife, married Daniel Hillman in 1776. By Absalom's second wife, daughter of Daniel Feagan, whom he married 5 June 1788 in Bourbon County, there were children William and Violet Craig. William m. Peggy Givens and Violet m. William Ballenger. Absolom was killed by Indians in Adams County, Ohio according to information from this book. The ancestory of Absolom is unknown although he apparently came from Loudoun Co., VA. James E. Bellarts, a cousin of Eliza Brevoort, published information claiming that Absolom was a son of James Craig and Jane Wetherow (Team #24). No facts can be found to support his claim and circumstantial evidence shows it to be incorrect.
