    1. Re: [CRAIG-L] Irish Settlement
    2. One need not contact West Point to get some data on the Robert CRAIG cited. There is a series published annually entitled "Register of Graduates, USMA" that gives thumbnail bios on all former cadets. Unfortunately, my oldest copy, 1988, only goes back to 1910! The Robert CRAIG cited is probably the same as Graduate #2134. The Class of 1910 begins with #4583. Anyone have ready access to a library that would have older editions, like from the 1960's maybe? I checking my stuff, I find a copy of a page from "The Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army, 1775-1783", by Heitman, Wash DC 1893, and Isaac CRAIG is shown as "(Pa.) Served as Captain of marines in 1776; Captain 4th Continental Artillery, 3d March, 1777; Major, 7th October, 1781, and served to 17th June, 1783. (Died 14th June, 1826.)" Thomas CRAIG is "(Pa.). 2d Lieutenant of Thompson's Pennsylvania Rifle Regiment, 25th June 1775; Regimental Quartermaster, July to December, 1775; Captain 2d Pennsylvania Battalion, 5th January, 1776; Lieutenant-Colonel 29th September, 1776; Lieutentant-Colonel 3d Pennsylvania, Jan 1777, to rank from 29th September 1776; Colonel, 1st August, 1777; retired 1st January 1783. (Died 14th January, 1832.)" There are also THREE John CRAIGs from Pa listed...........
