Can anyone identify the following CRAIGs mentioned in CHALKLEY'S CHRONICLES? Also, does anyone know the relationship of Margaret PAUL to the CRAIG family? She was a wife of Oliver ALEXANDER, born circa 1732. Could Margaret have been born a CRAIG and married a PAUL before she married Oliver? Does anyone know anything about a Jeremiah CRAIG, born in the early 1700s and the names of his children? Thank you.
