    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Craig, Gordon, Graham, Morton, McMullan, King Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4IQ.2ACEB/2338.7 Message Board Post: We are seeking to locate our "Craig" ancestors who came from County Antrim, Ireland. This is what I know. Nancy "Agnes" Craig b.1801 married Thomas Gordon around 1821, they lived, among his family, on the Townland of Drummuck/Drumleckney, which is near the Village of Broughshane, County Antrim. Nancy and Thomas, their first four children...two of which were named after Thomas' parents John and Grace Gordon and with that we believe they followed the Irish naming pattern. So, the other two children of the first four born were named James and Rose. Being we don't know where Nancy Craig was born other than Ireland and suspect, she was born in that vicinity..and/or her parents name...we only can suspect her father perhaps was a James Craig and his wife perhaps named Rose. So we are using this theory to research against until or unless something reveals itself to send us in another direction. Any chance you may have any information relative "Craig" families in and around the Village of Broughshane? Nancy "Agnes" Craig Gordon, after the death of her husband Thomas Gordon on Good Friday April 1851, subsequently removed from that area with her children to Elgin County, Ontario Canada, around 1853... where she died in 1877 and is buried. Other surnames of that area we are researching: Graham, Morton, McMullan, King! Best to you, Michelle Michigan/USA [email protected]
