I thought I'd try one last time as I'll be moving to Alberta soon, to find any Craig's that may have come from St. Andrew's , New Brunswick . There seems to have been two main Craig families from the St. Andrew's area . One is descended from the Loyalist David Craig and the other is from an Irish immigrant in 1819 , Hugh Craig . Of course the the children-g-children intermarried , just to help confuse any of us trying to do genealogy I believe . The earliest g-g-g-grandfather that I can confirm is a John Craig who married an Elizabeth Kerr in 1848 . I'm stuck at this point and don't know which family that he might fit in with .They had a son in 1849 but the father had died by then or shortly after. Their son was John Hugh Craig , I thought his middle name was a good clue that his grandfather must have been the Hugh Craig , however , I have also found a different John Hugh Craig that was born a few years after my guy and died in the 1860's as a child . The second John Hugh was born into one of the mixed Craig families so I'm not sure who they are naming their kids after . Maybe they were naming them after the first John , who died in 1848 , because of some relationship with him . Any help would certainly be appreciated . Greg Craig

some of your connections sound very familiar though we have slightly different info. I have a John CRAIG who married Ann KEIR in 1824. Ann had a sister named Elizabeth KEIR. This all happened in Balfron, Stirlingshire, Scotland.

My Elizabeth was born in 1826 , either in Ireland or in New Brunswick , her parents were definitely Irish though . I can't say anything for sure about my John Craig , I only confirmed him a year ago through a marriage record and a baptismal record for his son . I don't know if he was Scottish , Irish or Canadian . Unfortunately John Craig is like the "Smith" of Craigs. Everyone has" umpteen" John's in their family . Thanks for your response .
