    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: CRAIG, DENNISON, HART Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4IQ.2ACEB/2403 Message Board Post: In the process of cleaning out my parents house I have come across the two documents which are not connected to my family. The first document is a diploma from Worcester County Free Institute of Industrial Science. It is for the graduation of Nathan Edward CRAIG for Civil Engineering and dated June 28th, 1883. The second document is for the acceptance of Mrs. May Allen CRAIG into the membership of the DAR, Col Henshaw Chapter. It is dated October 22, 1925. Her decendancy is given as being from Revolutionary War soldier Levi HART. A brief search of the US census reveals the following about Nathan Edward CRAIG: 1880 He is the son of George A. CRAIG 43y and Ellen nee unk 42y. He has two sisters Emma A 20y and Alice E 17y. Nathan is 16y They live in Spencer, MA. 1920: He is single, 55y and a Civil Engineer. His widowed mother Ellen A. 81y and Alice E. CASEY 48 single share his household. This Alice doesn't appear to be his sister. She is listed as single, hired girl and her parents are from Ireland. They live on Lincoln St. in Spencer, MA. 1930: He has married somewhere between the census taken Jan 1920 and Oct 1925 the date on his wife's DAR membership. Nathan is now 65y. His household consists of wife May A. 53y, stepson Richard DENNISON 23y, single and servant Guillermina Cantillo 21y, single. They live on Lincoln St. in Spencer, MA. The only connection to my family I can see is the Lincoln St. address. My father's sister lived on Lincoln St. in Spencer, MA also and these papers were in with a bundle of papers from her house. These people on the documents are, however, not related to my family. If these are your family, please contact me at [email protected] I would like to send these papers to you. I will keep them for a few months. If my post goes unanswered, I will have to dispose of them since I have tons of paper concerning my own family genealogy and scant space to use storing unrelated material.
