    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.craig/206.2.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am descended from James CRAIG and Rebecca HILL CRAIG. They were married in Clark Co. KY 12 Dec 1793. My ancestor is John CRAIG, their oldest son. He was born in mid-1793 by census dates. The sons traveled to IN from Green Co, KY in 1819, traveling along a deer or Indian trail. Hiram T, William Hill, and John settled in what later became Johnson/Morgan counties in Indiana. They traveled with several STOTTS family members and named the creek Stotts Creek. One of the STOTTS married Cynthia CRAIG daughter of John CRAIG and Mary COX. The other link I have is that Andrew COLVILLE's son, Joseph was a good friend of James, and is listed along with Andrew on the first deed I find James name on for a horse. Andrew was married to a Ann or Mary(I don't have the info in front of me.)CRAIG who is the Daughter of a William CRAIG of Lancaster Co, PA. That is where John CRAIG and Mary COX were from. The neighbor on the tax rolls in Washington Co, VA to Thomas HILL, the father of Rebecca, is a John CRAIG. In 1903, the DAR listed only one headstone in the Watts Cemetery, Union Twp, Johnson Co, IN. James CRAIG died 17 Jan 1839 Age 72yrs and the rest illegible. This puts his DOB at approx. 1766. His first deed listed in 1787 puts him at age 21. Any more info would be greatly appreciated.
