Posting again, 'cause it has been awhile. My first Craig ancestor to come to America was Rodrick Craig, b. abt 1740 London England. Now, no matter how I attack it, I can't find parrish records indicating a line of Craigs in that area (haven't been to England but using their genealogical services) that would explain him or his ancestors living in that area. Rodrick was in the King's service when he came to America, but fought in the Revolutionary War on the side of the colonies. I'd like to find out about Rodrick's parents, siblings, etc. Since he was born in England, were they a family that was misplaced by the things happening in the message from Gary Craig? Were they originally in Scotland or Ireland? And if so, was it only his parents who were pushed out? What about aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.? I have so many questions about this, but haven't asked the right ones yet, as I've found no answers. Can anyone on the list fill in any of the blanks on Rodrick's history? I know he ended up in Indiana - I've taken photographs of his tombstone and it is still legible after 160 years or so. It is a Revolutionary War soldier stone. My line is as follows: me - b. 1948 IN James E. Clem b. 1918 d. 1996 (born and died in IN) Charles E. Clem b. 1897 d. 1981 (b. & d. IN) Clara (or Clarinda) Belle Craig b. 1874 d. 1945 (b. & d. IN) David Craig b. 1852 d. 1935 (b. & d. IN) Daniel Craig b. 1822 d. 1896 (b. & d. IN) William Craig b. 1781 North Carolina d. 1873 Indiana Roderick (Rodrick) Craig b. 1740 London, England d. 1854 Indiana (not a typo) Thank you for any help you can provide! Donna (Clem) Arthur
