Dale ... When I was researching my William Craig in Edgar County, Illinois, I first found him in Indiana... during that search we turned up another William Craig (unrelated) in that same area. I seem to remember some similar time frames on some of that family compared to mine but the name Roderick never cropped up. Roderick/Roderick (as I understand it) is, as you indicate, a totally English name.... Have you tried the other spellings... Craige, Kraig, Kreig and the like.... English it may have been but it could have been from the Saxon lineage and been Kreig or the like. Anyway... not much help ... but ....good luck! Gary D.
