General Notes: Husband - Andrew Craig

---

After the capture of his father by the Indians, he became owner of land Derry township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, as his part of the paternal inheritance. He built a large stone house on this farm as a residence for himself and family, and part of this house was still standing and occupied as a dwelling into the twentieth century. Tradition says that he was a man of unusual physical strength.

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Freeman

---

She was one of the Freeman girls who were captured by the Indians after the burning of Hannastown, Pennsylvania, and who were retained as prisoners for two years. She had red hair, which the Indians disliked, and was nearly killed when she "ran the gauntlet." Dr. Postlethwaite, of Greensburg, many years afterward attended her when she was suffering partly from the blows upon her skull which had been inflicted by the blunt end of a tomahawk.
