    1. [VAAUGUST-L] CRAIG-CHRISTIAN/Marriage/1760

    3. Searching for information about a William CRAIG who is said to have gone to North Carolina around 1760 from Augusta CO VA. He and his wife signed land papers in Granville CO NC in 1763; her first name was Christian. Because this is an odd given name for a woman I wonder if it might have been a family name, perhaps her mother's maiden name, and whether she might be somehow related to the extended CHRISTIAN family of Augusta CO. CRAIGS that I have found so far on Augusta CO land records 1747-1797 are 1) James, who may have been the father as he was there earliest and had the most land; 2) Alexander, and 3) William (but too late to be my William). This CRAIG land (totalling over 2000 acres) lay along the Shenandoah River. Does anyone recognize a woman with the first name of Christian marrying a William CRAIG around 1760? Many thanks, Nora Tocus
