General Notes: Husband - Alexander Craig


When a young man he emigrated with his parents to the United States, and on the same vessel came also, with her parents, a Miss Martha Kerr, to whom, soon after landing, he was married. They made their first settlement in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, when the place was an unbroken forest, teeming with wild animals, and frequented by the Indian on hunting expeditions. This tract of land they improved, until in 1813 they sold it, and moved to Buffalo township, where they passed the remainder of their lives. They were active members of the Associate Reformed Church, and in politics Mr. Craig was a Democrat.
