Teri, I also have a James Craig (2 Feb 1804, Scotland - 25 Nov 1862, South Australia) and I don't know whether he may be related to this Archibald Craig though Archibald is a family name. I'm still trying to definitely identify his family in Scotland. I am interested in families in and around Kilmarnock at this time because about 1840 a group emigrated from there and my James Craig seems to have been a part of it even though he married in Glasgow in 1829 and seems to have lived there after marriage. I'd like to know more of the group involved in social reforms in Kilmarnock.
