A Tribute to' the Past. A Record for the Present. A Message for Posterity.

In presenting a record of the Craig farnilie~ of Goulbourn and Xorth Cower, thanks are due to so many that space does not permit of mention of all. In adcliti,m to the members of my immediate family, whose encouragement and assi,tance ha\·e been inexpressibly helpful, I \\·ish to acknowledge particu1arly my debt to the following who have giyen time and effort with unfailing kindness, as \rell as those whose names are specifically mentioned throughout the volume;

Horace .'I.. Craig. Esquire...... Edmonton ..\lberta. Robert.-\. Craig. Esquire, Senior ... Xorth (;offer. Ontario. The late Xixon Craig ...... Xorth ( ;o\ver. Ontario. The late Robert J. Ball...... I-lanonr. Ontario. Xe\\·man R. Craig, Esquire ...... Toronto. Jonathan Craig, E:-,quire ..... . Thomas .\. Craig. Esquire .Kempl\ille. Ontario. Renrend Eber E.

If the information presented should be found inaccurate or if the style of presentation appears awkward, these contributors should not be held responsible. The data ha\·e been difficult to obtain and often impossible to Yerify; the faults of composition are my own.

If reader:-.: will be so good as to use the form, (enclosed in dupli­ cate \vith the \\·ork,) to ach·ise me of corrections in the record. or criticism oi the narrati\·e, 1 shall be exceedingly grateful.

\Vhile the chief object throughout the volume has been to record facts, I have also endeavoured to refrain from direct eulogy, in a personal work of this nature, but rather to express such through the medium of fact. As there must be a large store of interesting items connected with the various families, hitherto impossible to obtain, I should be especially pleased to have further information regarding the ancestral or contemporary members, whether by way of record or tradition. A fact may be commonplace in Rouleau but unknown in North Gower; an anecdote may be trivial in itself but illustrative of a period forever past. Should it be possible to issue a supplementary edi­ tion at some future date, such contributions would acid immeasurably to the value and interest of the work.

From Ireland's shores, one morn in :'.\Tay, A ship was leaving Sligo Bay; A sparkling sunrise hailed the day.

Slowly her graceful sails unrolled, \Vith wistful colonists, young and old, .-\.nd stores of corn and \\·ine in hold.

"Give us a home in the wild\\·ood deep," They sang, "\ \"ith lands where from we'll reap "Fair han-ests,-\\ ith o:-;:en and cattle and sheep.''

Three families left the clear "ould sod" That day, with simple faith in God, To hew out homes in forests broad.

And other members hade adieu To Ireland's Emerald Island true, At later dates to cross the blue.

PART ONE

The Origin of the Name with a Brief Account of the Older Members in Ireland.

THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME.

The surname "Craig" (a) comes from the old Gaelic word "creag," -a crag, rock or steep cliff-a word often forming a part of the names of places in hilly or mountainous districts in yarious parts of , as for example, Craigellachie or .\iba Craig.

The \\'ebh for111 uf the \1urd is "craig," and as the \\'elsh once in­ habited parts of Southern ~cutland, it is possible that the surname came originally fru111 the ( ;aelic, through the \\'elsh.

The,;e forms are quite distinct from those of an allied word of similar import, Gaelic,-"carraig," \\"elsh,-"carreg," the former of which is the source of the place-name and the surname,-•'Carrick."

.\lthough ''Craig" is derin,cl from the Caelic, those who first bore the name were Lo1\·land ~coltish. There 1ras no clan or sept of Craig and it appears that various families received the surname from associa­ tion 1rith those hilly localities inhabited by them called in whole or in part "craig." Thu,;, it may be e1·ident that the name, "John of the crag" could evolve through years of usage into "." It is also probable that, as there 11·ere many of these rocky districts through­ out Scotland, the various families bearing the name would in many cases be quite unconnected with each other.

There are Craig-s 11011· in all parts of Scotland but they are more numerous in the northern and eastern portions of the country. Allied forms of the surname are Craigg. Cragg, Craik, Craigie, Gregg and Greig.

15 ANCESTR._AL TRADITIONS.

The first ancestors of the family, recorded by tradition, \1·ere two brothers named Craig, (given names unknown) who left Scotland for Ireland between 1700 and 1750. If their migration \\"as due to the re­ bellion of 1715 or 17-+5, there is no tradition tu that effect.

In moving from Scotland to I re land, it is probable that the two Lrothers were not going among strangers. .\ccording to \rright's His­ tory of Ireland, there was a Craig in Londonderry Lefore the siege of 1690. The settlement of Ireland by the English comnH:nced under ~ueen 11ary and was carried on under Queen Elizabeth, when Scots \1·ere introduced as \1·ell, and large trach of land 11·ere clearl'd for occupation by immigrant, from Scotland and . The settlement 1vas con­ tinuous for O\·er a century, Oliwr Cronrn·ell being less active in the movement than his successors. ( b 1. Some of the previous immigrants, therefore, must have been known or related tc, the t11·0 brothers.

They both settled first in County Fermanagh hut sometime later. about 1760, one of them remO\ed with hi, 11·iil' and t11·0 child·ren to the adjoining County Cavan. The children's name, 11·ere Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas is the first of wlzo111 ther<' is a11y authentic raord and is the subject of further ol>srr~·atimzs 011 a11othcr page.

On the map-sketch, in County Fermanagh, ,,·ill be obserwd the hamlet, Hall Craig, which, as far as any connection it may have had with the family, is now only a matter of ,;urmise hut its name and location are at least interesting.

ELIZABETH CHA.IC married John :-.Ic:-.[ullen 1\·ho altered his name to Mullen, owing- to the belief current among Protestants that the prefix indicated a taint of J~oman Catholicism. ( The Boyne had been fought only in 1()90 and was more in the minds of men in 17()0 than it is in 1929.) There is still an affectionate tradition of "Aunt Betty Mullen."

Two relatives of Thomas Craig and Elizabeth Mullen appear to have lived in Cavan,-JOHN and CHARLIE CRAIG. The latter confessed to being an atheist and was once in imminent clanger of drowning, when the ice gave way while he was crossing a small lake in winter. His cries for help brought his wife, Alice, who threv.- him the end of a blanket and pulled him to safety. Some clays afterwards, when dis-

16 THE CRAIGS OF GOULBOURN AND NORTH GOWER cussing his rescue, he \\"as asked by a friend, ":'.\ ow, Charlie, \\·on't you believe in God and that It was He \\.ho sand you from drowning?" "Oh! No," he replied, '' It wasn't God at all; it was Allie and the blanket that saved me." One wonders if he were as brave \\·hen he was in the water.

THOMAS*, Elizabeth's brother, married but his wife's name is now unknown. They appear to have settled on a rented farm near Monesk about 1760. The name of one landlord was Lord Daly, a very charitable man, and another was Lord \Veir, a clergyman. \Vhen the landlord would make one of his regular visits, all tenants were required to stand at attention with heads bared \\·hile he addressed them, often on horseback, perhaps on a hunting-trip for rabbits. Occasionally he would ask where the best rabbit-burrows were and on receiving their reply ,rnuld throw them a coin, and dash off on his quest for game. One landlord's name may have been Hamilton, as the name of one landlord of that name \vas held in such grateful recollection that "Hamilton" became a family name.

It seems probable that the family belonged to the Church of Ireland, as tradition states that the Anglican clergyman stationed there, later in 1840, was the Rev. Mr. Nugent.

It is related that when the fertility of a farm had become exhausted, it was the custom to dig clay from the bottom of wells and spread it over the land, on the assumption that the richness of the soil increased with depth.

MONESK is now described by the General Registry Office, Dublin, as follows,-

"Monesk is a townland, (sub-division of a parish,) in the Parish of "Killinagh and in the Barony of Tullyhaw, District Electoral Division "of Eskey and County Cavan, and is situated near the border between "that county and County Fermanagh."

Tradition informs us that it is located twenty miles east of Sligo Harbour, twelve from Enniskillen, twenty from Manor Hamilton, and not far from it were situated the villages of Black Lion and Red Lion. Reference to the map-sketch of County Cavan shows the location of Monesk in relation to other places.

* The name Thomas is said to be derived from the Gaelic, "tomailt," meaning .,,provi~ sions" and came to signify "a man ot hospitality.n The root is "tomhas"-"a measure." (From "Irish Pedigrees" by John O'Hart.)

The Keeper oi the Four Courts, Dublin, ha~ furnished some slight additional information regarding Thomas, his letter in part being quoted below.

18 EXPLANATORY NOTES re PLAN OF BOOK

Tlzc 1ian1cs of Tlwmas' falllily of nine 111c111bers will be found on the two pages followiny. Frolil tlzcm are all the Craig, Ball, Fiddes and Graham families of the co1111cction desc,·ndcd.

The sons, Hzu1h, I/"i!lia111 and Thomas are the ancestors of the Xorth Gower mzd (iouibourn faJJ1ilies of Craigs. One daughter, Jane, (who came to Canada with her lwsband, James Ball,) is ancestress of the Ball Branch. ./11otlzcr daw;htcr, Dorothy, (who married lames Fiddes but did not cmiyrate,) is ancestress of the Fiddes Branch. From another daughter, J!ary, ( who camr to Canada with her husband, James Graham,) arr al! the (;ralwm 111e111bers descended. The other members of Thomas' family folloiu in order.

The sons and daughters of the "branches," Hugh, TVil/iam and Thomas are each shown on a separate page, along with descendants, in Parts Two, Three and Four respcctinly. A brief sketch is given re­ lating to each member in these three families, with portraits where arnil­ able, following which are recorded births, marriages, war services and deaths, where the terms apply.

Collateral Branches of the Ball Families follow in Part Fiz:e, the Fiddes Families in Part Six, and that of the Graham Families in Part Seven, with blank pages to conti11ue them down to the present if desired.

Part One ma_v be called the ''parent" chapter, as therefrom are de­ scended all members in tlze later six chapters or "Parts."

The reader's attc11tio11 is especial!_\' drawn to the following rules obsen:ed throughout.

1. ,1s a means of more ready reference to the three first and oldest generations. they hm·e been desi[!natcd by the fallowing names;-

( a) Thomas, oldest-known ancestor, is known as the "tree."

(b) His children arc desiynatcd by the name "branches."

(c) His grand-children arr designated by the name "stems," thus following in the natural order of a growing tree.

2. To further simplif:y referrnre to many of the older members bear­ ing similar Christian 11a111es, a s_\'strm of numbers is used. This plan,

19 EXPLANATORY NOTES RE PLAN OF BOOK if carefully noted, should enable readers to refer immediately to any member in any part of the book. (a) Thornas, oldcst-l,110,zL'll ancestor. is _Yo. 1. (a) His children arc dcsiy11atcd h}' h.co 111u11bers, as Robert, the eldest, is _Yo. 1-1, H uyh, the second, is _Yo. 1-2, etc. (c) His grand-children are ,17i·,·e11 three 1111mbcrs, as, Hugh Craig, -father of the late _\"ixon Craiy, Sorth Gower,-would be 1-2-5, being the fifth son of Hugh, who was the second son of Thomas, So. 1.

(b) Members hm.·ing a Jf1111icifal or Parlia111cntary record. ( c) A1 embers hm.•iny a record for war scrc·ires. (d) For deceased members 011/_\',-datc bom and died and where buried.

A few exceptions to this rnle ,,·ill be 110/cd 111 ['art Three, where all particulars were not as readily obtainable.

5. In certain cases, where dates were obtained from two or more sources, they were found to disagree. Those gi7-•cn herein have been based on the following relati7-•e order of authenticity;- (a) Registers of Births, Marriages and Deaths. ( b) Family Bibles. ( c) Monuments. ( d) Oral Tradition.

6. As it has been impossible, in most cases, to obtain more than one Christian name, that by which the person has been best known only has been quoted. A few exceptions to this rule occur, for example, where the member was commonly known by two Christian names. So, where the best-known name of a member was not obtainable, the first name and initial(s) of the subsequent name(s) are used. 20

23 VOYAGE OF THE FIRST CRAIG PARTY TO CANADA.

Hugh and \\-illiam appear to have lived on rented farms at Monesk for some years, where their families were born. This was their home until they were notified by their landlord that he was about to raise their rent, and it was for this reason that they decided to emigrate to Canada.

By a curious co-incidence their migration occurred exactly three hundred years after the first French explorers set out on their expedition also for "New ," so picturesquely described by Thomas D'Arcy McGee in his poem beginning with the following lines,-

"In the seaport of St. Malo, 'twas a smiling morn in May, When the Commodore, Jacques Cartier, to the Westward sailed away."

On Friday, l\Iay the 2nd, 183-t, The First Craig Party sailed from Sligo, Ireland, on the ship '·The Richardson," in charge of Captain l\Ic­ Vernon. \Vhine of the cable, smart of the foam, Terror of unknown seas,- O, for another last sight of our home, The haunt of our memories!

The party was composed of the following members,- 1. HUGH CRAIG, with his wife and seven of their nine children, ( two married daughters, Mary and Jane, remained in Ireland,-Jane only temporarily.) Hugh's eldest son, Thomas, being married, brought his wife and three children. It is also probable that Hugh's fourth son, Robert, was married before leaving and that his wife came in the party.

2. WILLIAM CRAIG, brother of Hugh, with wife and family of seven.

3. :\IARY, sister of Hugh and \Villiam, with her husband, James Graham and four members of their family, ( the eldest son, James Gra­ ham, Jr. and wife having emigrated to Oswego, New York State, five years previously). Their married daughter, Susan, and husband, Robert Moffatt came out at this time. In addition to being a relative by marriage, Mr. l\Ioffatt ,vas a great friend of his wife's uncle, Hugh Craig, and they refused to allow the party to leave without them. This brought their number to a total of thirty members in all. Restless and angry gulls that wheel And scream with the swing of the swell! Mountains of water with crests that reel, Ireland, Ireland, farewell ! 24 VOYAGE OF FIRST CRAIG PARTY TO CANADA

Sometime after leaving Sligo Harbour, the vessel encountered high winds and a heavy sea. After the storm had raged for several days, a large block became unfastened from the top of the mast and was swinging loosely in the wind. The captain climbed up the mast to re­ pair the damage but the block hit him on the head and knocked him into the sea where he was drowned.

From there the journey appears to have been uneventful till the party reached the St. Lawrence. Here, Mary Ann, William's daughter, also lost her life by drowning. \Vishing to draw water from the river in order to prepare breakfast, she threw over the side a pail attached to a rope. But she did not realize the power of the current, which pulled her overboard and carried her down the river, never to be seen again. This was the second and last calamity experienced during the voyage of the First Party. After a voyage of seven weeks and three days, the travellers landed at Quebec City on the 23rd of June. 0, blest was the sight of rock Quebec, And the shore of Montreal; More blessed the Power That watched our deck And brought us safe through all!

At Quebec, Hugh's sons, Thomas and Robert were sent out through the district to the South, to explore the country and ascertain if it ap­ peared suitable for farming, with a view to settling there. They reported unfavorably on the appearance of the land as seeming too rocky and hilly for agricultural purposes.

The means of transport from Quebec to Montreal is not altogether certain but it seems very probable that the party came this distance by steamboat. (Rev. Wm. Bell of Perth, in his "Hints to Emigrants," pub­ lished in , 1824, describes his journey by sailing vessel to Quebec, thence by steamboat, a journey of 36 hours to Montreal, after­ wards by "bateau" from Lachine to Prescott. The steamboat to Mon­ treal is confirmed by other evidence; the Molson Boat Accommodation was a steamer and was commissioned about 1820.)

From Montreal the travellers continued their arduous journey up the St. Lawrence by means of flat-bottomed Durham boats ( also called "scows" or "batteaux,") towed by oxen from the shore and steered by poles from the shore and the boats.

They landed at Brockville and made their way inland through the forest by wagons and oxen. They probably crossed the Rideau at "Rideau Ferry, ( the only crossing-place along that part of the river at

25 THE CRAIGS OF GOULBOURN AND NORTH GOWER !'art

that time and for years later.) 1t i, aLo likely that they passed through Perth and from thence followed the "old Perth road."

They finally arriYed at Goulbourn To\rnship, Carleton County, where Hugh ,;ettlecl on the Ea,t half ui Lut 3, Cun. --1, and \\"illiam on the West half of the lut.

The Graham family setfed 111 the adjoining Township of ?\orth Gower, on Lot 1-+, Con. 3.

\Villiam died two years after coming to Canada, through an acci­ dent, when a tree, which he was cutting down, fell on him in the bush, where he was working with his ,un James.

27 VOYAGE OF THE SECOND PARTY TO CANADA.

There is a characteristic generally evident among members of the Craig families and descendants in the present day; that is the deep attachment that is maintained for the home and the family circle, re­ gardless of the fact that many haYe roamed to, and settled in, parts far remote from the place of their birth. :\nd under conditions prevailing over eighty years ago, it is most probable that family ties existing among the members of the family of the .-\ncestor Thomas, ( 1) were at least no weaker than they are to-day.

No telegraph connected the Emerald I,;le with the young Canadian Colony; an ocean yoyage took at lea~t ~e\'en weeks; raih,·a_\ s scarcel_1· existed; letters and parcels therefore seemed an endless time on the way.

Thus we find Thomas, jr. ( 1-4) fourth son of Thomas, ( 1), carrying on back home in l\fonesk for some years after his brothers, Robert, Hugh and William had emigrated to America.

His wife was Elizabeth (Bessie) l\loffatt, a daughter of Robert Moffatt of Thubber, some six miles distant. ( See sketch of Monesk on a previous page.) They were married about the year 1815. It is related that she was "converted" to the teachings of Methodism in their own house, through the preaching of Gideon Ouseley, a prominent \Vesleyan leader of that time.

The home in Ireland is described as on the town line of Monesk and therefore in the same locality as those of his brothers. It was near a river and had a rabbit burrow, where rabbits could be secured at almost any time. The house was remembered as "lovely and large," with a sun­ dial at the front of the property.

Their older children attended school at the nearby village of Barran, going across the "steps." One of the teachers here was a Mr. Sweeney, a Roman Catholic, who later came to Canada and taught school at Malak­ off and on the Second Concession of North Gower Township. Having taught them as children in Ireland, he retained quite an intimate friend­ ship with the Craig families in Canada.

29 THE CRAIGS OF GOULBOURN AND NORTH GOWER I'arl

In his latter year,, 111,; stoop(x! iigure mmld often be seen trudging along the road with his belongings tied up in a red handkerchief on the end of his cane and slung over his shoulder. A quaint old character, unusually well-read and ,,·ith a remarkable memory, he was accustomed to '\·isiting around" among the neighbours of the vicinity. On his travels, he often stayed several days at the home of James Craig Sr. ( 1-2-6) of North Gower, whose house he described as "Hospitality Hall." A peculiar habit of his was to adorn his coat promiscuously with an array of buttons, chiefly brass, that were intended to mark some event of significance in his memory. It was, presumably, through this method that he was able to quote dates, events and figures with remarkable accuracy. "\Vandering through space" would be his reply when asked where he had come from. A man of ornate language, a favourite remark of his to a young lady was "You still retain your juvenile beauty." It is to be deplored that a man of such scholarly attainments should have had such an obscure and nomadic ending.

Having been preceded to Canada by his older brothers, Hugh and \Villiam in 1834, and probably also by Robert who emigrated to the , Thomas, considering especially the religious and prob­ ably the economic conditions as well, then prevailing in Ireland, decided to follow their e_xample. The landlord of the estate-a Mr. Fawcett, said to have been a cousin-sought to dissuade him, pleading with him to re­ main, as he would be "the last of the Craigs." He even offered to "do for" six of the boys, but Thomas declined. It is said that "the very garden of l\Ir. Fawcett was afterwards ploughed up and planted to potatoes, and a notice was posted up, threatening any who should dis­ turb them."

Accordingly, about April the 1st, 1840, he set out, with his wife and family of eight sons and two daughters, on the vessel "Industry" for the new land. The journey is said to have lasted "seven weeks and three days" but as the same period has been assigned to the voyage of the First Party in 1834, it is possible that the record became confused in later years. However, if the periods of the voyages were not identical, it is likely they were approximately the same.

Several of the Moffatts, who were related to Thomas' wife, came with the Second Party at this time. Other members of the Moffatt family ( the mother of John Kerr, North Gower) came from Ireland in 1842, two years later.

The voyage across would be incomplete without reference to the love episode of their fair daughter, whose charms appear to have captured the heart of the ship's captain. The incident has been vividly described 30 One VOYAGE OF SECOND CRAIG PARTY TO CANADA by her grand-niece. the late :\li5s .\lma Craig of Smith's Falls, Ontario, 1t1 the follow:ng poem:

"THE RO:-fA~CE OF ACJ\"T CHARLOTTE." It was in the early forties On a sailing ship at sea, This romance of poor Aunt Charlotte And the Captain chanced to be. Just to think that on the ocean For six weeks or even more They were tossed on foamy billows Yet dreamed not of the shore.

\Vith his little brood about him Stout of heart with brawn and brain, Came a pioneer from Ireland O'er the perils of the main. Sailing onward in fair breezes, Trimming sail in angry gales, Sometimes floating, scarcely moving, \Vith no wind to cheer their sails.

\Vhat a bonny, homey picture 11ade this family out at sea! See the sweet-faced little mother \Vith her baby on her knee. 'Round her gather bright-eyed laddies, Some just toddling, others spry. But a lassie, fair and smiling, Takes the Captain's watching eye.

He invites them to his cabin, To a wonderful repast, Tries to win the father's favor, \Vhich he cannot do,-alas ! "She shall dress in silks and satins, "Kever soil her pretty hands, "In my lovely home in Jersey "With its fair and fertile lands."

"Let me talk it o'er with 11other," Said her father, then and there, A.ncl, methinks, I see her swiftly Lift her eyes in silent prayer. ~ow you know it takes a woman Just a moment to decide. "Thomas. can you see our Charlotte "As the Captain's bonny bride?"

"No, my dear, I cannot trust him, "Let us call our daughter here." And as wistful Charlotte entered, In her eye there gleamed a tear. Then they tell her all about it, See her brown eyes glow and dance,­ As, forsooth, the clever Captain Was a very handsome lance. 31 THE CRAIGS OF GOULBOURN AND NORTH GOWER Part

And she thought he was perfection, So she begged of them to yield. But they told her that they loved her And her life from harm must shield. "\Ved our daughter to a stranger, ''To a rover of the seas? "All her lifelong to regret it'.'' Heart-strings could not think of these.

So the father's plain refusal Met the Captain's waiting ears. But he sees the lassie standing On the deck, one night, in tears, \Vhen the voyage nears its ending, And reveals to her his lovc,- 'Tll come back for you and claim you "In a year, my pretty dove."

In the meantime, see the family Settled on a forest farm. Sec the sturdy youngsters thriving, !\ aught the parents' hearts alarm. But a message comes from Bytown That a Captain, bold and gay, Has been asking for the family And is driving out that way.

So they send the daughter, Charlotte, To a friendly neighbor's home, Asking them to keep her sheltered Until they for her would come. Eagerly the cross-roads scanning, 'Round the homestead, what a stir! Till up rides the Captain, smiling,­ "! have come for Charlotte, sir."

"She is gone," the father answered. "What!"' the Captain fairly roared. "I have left my ship to get her, "I will take her back on board. "She is gone?'' he cried in anger, "Where?" "She's gone," the father said. So the Captain, slowly mounting, Rode away with drooping head.

Yet the years were kind to Charlotte, She became a happy wife, 'Round her fireside, children gathered, And she lived a peaceful life. And 'twas fun to hear her telling, In the evening's clarkening ray, Of her youth's "Romance" and sorrow, When her Captain rode away. (By kind perm1ss10n of the author's family and of Miss Sarah Mitchell, , Ontario, a daughter of Charlotte.) 32 One VOYAGE OF SECOND CRAIG PARTY TO CANADA

Another event of interest is related regarding the twins, William and James, who at that time were just seven years of age. Wishing to ex­ plore the underneath workings, they climbed over the side of the vessel and down a rope ladder, as James said, in later years, "to see what was under the ship." Fortunately they were soon discovered by one of the sailors and speedily restored to safer quarters, where they received, to quote James again, "a sound thrimmin'."

On arriving in Canada, The Party followed the St. Lawrence route as far as Montreal, where they took a shorter course up the Ottawa River to Bytown, a.1d from thence continued their way to North Gower Township. They were met at Bytown by Hugh's son, James Craig, Senior, ( 1-2-6) who carried the infant, Mary Ann, in his arms through the forest to their destination. ·

They lived for three months with Thomas' cousin, Robert Graham, and first considered the purchase of West half of Lot 20, Con. 3, upon which Robert Allen Craig, Senior, ( 1-2-6-6) now resides. Gpon the advice of his brothers, however, he settled on a bush farm, Lot 12, Con. 3, the present occupants of which are his great-grand-daughter, Sarah Anne and her husband, !viatthew Arbuckle. They lived here for about one year, when they permanently removed to the West or Rear half of Lot 13, Con. 2, North Gower Township, the Moffatt family settling on the East or Front half of the same lot. Death and Love, Grief and Mirth,­ Parted by every sea; Here be Craigs of all the earth In this Fac1ily Tree.

They came to Canada with their three children in the First Party, 1834, lived a year at Pakenham, then for a short time in Beckwith Town­ ship. He was a merchant in North Gower for some years, the store being situated on the west corner of "The Old Rectory Grounds," Lot No. 49, Church Street.

Later he was a farmer, having purchased Lot 13, Con. 3, North Gower Township.

Perhaps due to his being the eldest member, he took a more than ordinary interest in matters relating to the early families; many of the events and other data recorded herein were handed down through him.

His wife's mother was a Miss Hamilton before her marriage, whose people first resided in the nearby town of Manor Hamilton before they removed to Drumshanbo and from thence to Canada.

He came to Canada, probably with his first wife, in the First Party, 1834, settled on West half, Lot 17, Con. 3, of North Gower Township, a part of the 400 acre block bought by his father, Hugh. He was chosen Reeve of the first Council Board elected in the township in 1850, (as far as shown by the records,-X) which office he held for about ten years. The reeve was selected at that time by the members of the board from among themselves. By virtue of, and during his term of office, he was also a Justice of the Peace, a position which carried with it considerable responsibility, due to the wider powers of the law entrusted to it in those early pioneer days of the township. All the family were born to the first wife.

He came to Canada in the First Party, 1834, settled on East half, Lot 17, Con. 3, X orth Gower Township, a part of the 400 acre block bought by his father, Hugh. He was sometimes known as "Captain Hughie," being a captain of the local company of militia, as all men of a certain age, at that time, were required to serve a period each year in the Volunteer Corps, as ordered by the "militia muster." According to tradition, this order was issued by the Militia Department of Upper Canada, due to the Cpper Canada Rebellion of 1837 and was continued until after The Fenian Raid of 1866. He died of a paralytic stroke while driving home in his sleigh from North Gower. His wife was the daughter of the Steward of Lord Adair's Estate in County Cavan, as she came from the same county as her husband and both families appear to have been well-known to each other there. It is probable, however, that they were married in Canada, as she came out a few years after the First Craig Party, with one brother who settled near Perth. The brother was a carpenter in the Old Country. A son of his was one of a party of forty who went to vVestern Canada and were the first white people to enter and settle in what is now the city of Winnipeg. 51 :1 '.1u[h.

James Craig and Jane Da1·is

STD.I OF J.U1ES. 1-2-6. Born April 15-1815, Ireland. Died Sept. 20-1908. Married Jane Davis. Born :\pril 11-1819. County \Vexford, Ireland. Died May 20-1900. Both arc buried in Old Cemetery, North Gower. He came to Canada in the First Party, 1834, lived in Goulbourn Township a iew years, then moved to l\'orth Gower Township. Here he married and settled on East half. Lot 16, Con. 3, a part of the 400 acre block bought by his father, Hugh. He later sold this to James Moffatt, moving to South half, Lot 20, Con. 4, ( where his son Albert settled later) and then he settled permanently on \Nest half of Lot 20, Con. 3. He used to relate that, as a school-boy in Ireland, he had to carry a piece of peat to school every morning as his contribution to provide fuel. As a young man in Canada, he taught school in Goulbourn for about ten years till he married. Having a fair education for those times, on coming to North Gower, he had many demands on his time, writing letters, wills. deeds, etc. ; he served on the first known Council Board in 1850, as Auditor along with Silas Andrews; was Township Clerk from 1851-62; he also served as Councillor for some years and as a Justice of the Peace. He was a member of the local company of mounted militia, "The Carleton Blazers," which rode to Ottawa to the reception of the Prince of Wales, (later Kitig Edward VII.) in 1860. His latter years were spent on the homestead. the home of his son Robert Allen, Senior, when his birthdays were celebrated by happy gatherings of his many relatives and friends. His wife came to Canada, a babe in arms, about 1820, and settled at Franktown. There is a tradition that an uncle of hers (Davis by name) took part, on the side of the Crown, at the Battle of Vinegar Hill, in the Irish Rebellion of 1798. As he lay among the casualties, on the field, he feigned death and allowed himself to be buried in a pit, by the victorious rebels, along with the dead bodies of many other soldiers. Later on, he crawled out to safety. The event was made memorable by the family by being' thus recorded in verse;- "Shot and killed at Vinegar Hill, "Dead, buried and alive still." Another tale is handed down that several of her cousins, named Sutton, ( the name of her mother's people) as well as several other cousins, named Hawkins, were killed by the rebels on Wexford Bridge in the massacre of the 20th Jw1e, 1798. Their bodies were then thrown from the bridge into the Slaney River. 55 1. Emma. 1. Mary. 2. Jennie (Holmes) (Cryderman) 2. John.

He came to Canada in the First Party, 1834, subsequently settling on his father's farm in Goulbourn. Along with his brother William, he operated a tannery on this place for some years, as well as farming. The tanning process then used may be interesting. The country here was especially adapted to the tanning business as there was an abundance of tan-bark available. The process was carried on by means of a horse hitched to a tan-bark machine, which ground the bark up into very fine pieces. This tan-bark was then placed in large vats, over which water was poured to make the "liquor", and in which the hides were well soaked till saturated. They were then taken out and dried, when they were "cured" and ready for use. The first four members of his family were born to his first wife, the other two to his second wife.

STEM OF ROBERT 1-4-1 Born Feb. 18-1818, Ireland. Died Aug. 13-1882.

Married Eliza Smith. Born r-;ov. 1821. Died Oct. 4-1903. Both are buried in Methodist Cemetery, Kars. He came to Canada in the Second Party, 1840, lived on the South Half, Lot 12, Con. 3_. North Gower Township, where his father and the family lived about one year, on first arriving in Canada. To distinguish him from an older cousin of the same name, Robert Craig, (1-2-4), he was sometimes known as "Young Robert." He took a very active part in all matters connected with the Methodist Church and the Temperance Movement. In the thinly­ settled country, Annual Revival Meetings were regularly held, bring­ ing many together in a social and religious way. An idea of his gener­ osity and hospitality may be gathered from the story that on these, as well as on many other occasions, he often provided travellers with free board and lodging for several days at a time. He was elected Reeve for North Gower Township for several terms of office, when he also served as a Justice of the Peace. His wife was born at "The Cuckoo's Nest," in Beckwith Town­ ship. She was a sister of Deborah Smith, wife of Thomas Craig, (1-4-4), and of Thomas Smith, husband of Jane Graham, (1-9-2-1). 109 1. Annie M. (Twin) 2. Essie M. (Twin) 3. Cordelia V. 4. Alden R. 1.

He came to Canada in the Second Party, 1840, settled on South half, Lot 7, Con. 3, North Gower Township.

SIR LE\VIS CRAIG, .\L-\., later LORD \\.RIGHTSHOCSES,­ a lord of session, born 1569, died before 6th June. 1622, a son of Sir Thomas Craig, preceding. It is related that lords of session (the equivalent of Supreme Court Judges) wore their hats on the bench but that Sir Lt;wis unconred his head when his father pleaded at the bar in his presence. JOHN CRAIG,-Born Scotland 1512. died 1600, became a Do­ minican friar and trayelled to England, France and Italy. He became rector of the Dominican order at Bologna but \\·as conyerted to Protestantism on reading Cah·in's Institutions. He was tried as a heretic at Rome and condemned to be burned on 20th Aug. 1559. Escaping in the confusion follo,Ying the death of Pope Paul 4th, he returned by stages to Scotland. Being unfamiliar with the after an absence of twenty-four years, he preached in Latin in Magdalene Chapel in the Cowgate, Edinburgh. \\"ith he was associated in the censure of Queen Mary of Scotland, 1564, in preparing liturgical exercises and in rn·ising General Assemblies in 1568. He was discharged from preaching ior rebuking the King but later subscribed to the bond of obedience. He officiated at the Coronation of the Scottish Queen, 1590. 210 :\ PPE:\'DIX-Continucd .

He assumed the additional surname and arms of Craig on succeeding Robert Craig of Riccarton in 1818. .-\s a Whig politician, he gained the respect of both parties because of a commanding presence, blunt and brief speeches, strong comm1m ~ense and unimpeachable honesty. It was due to his inten·ention at a creditors' meeting that the contents of Sir \Valter Scott's estate of .-\bbotsford were returned to the latter as a mark of respect.

He served with distinction at Lexington, and was wounded at Bunker Hill, in American Revolutionary \\'ar; fought at Three Rivers in 1776, at Ticonderoga, was again wounded at Hubertown and again at Freeman's Farm.

His administration in Canada was unpopular and has been the subject of harsh criticism. On the other hand, he has been warmly defended. Those who wish to investigate his character and gonrnment may consult a monograph on the sub­ ject, by Brigadier-General E. A. Cruickshank. and published by the Royal Society of Canada.

THE IRISH :MIGRATION OF 1847-48. Migration from Ireland was almost continuous during the nine­ teenth century. It culminated in the years 1847 and 1848. While the potato famine was an important factor, other causes, more or less obscure, contributed to cause the climax. In the height of the migratory movement, the scarcity of ships for transportation led to deplorable conditions among the immigrants. They were crowded like cattle into the holds and the lack of sanitation added disease to discomfort. Ship-fever was the most destructive of the diseases which attacked them. Of the 100,000 immigrants to Canada in those years, it is estimated that 5,000 died at sea and 20,000 after landing at Saint John, Quebec and Montreal. (a). A large boulder was erected beside Victoria Bridge in Montreal as a monument to those who had been buried there. The monument was later removed to its present site nearby. An iron fence surrounds the boulder, which bears the following inscription:- "To preserve from desecration the remains of 6,000 immigrants "who died of ship-fever, A.D. 1847-8, this stone is erected by the "workmen of Messrs. Peto, Brassey and Betts, employed in "the construction of the Victoria Bridge, A.D. 1859." Among those buried there was the father of the late James ( or Jimmie) J olmston,-the first and widely-known hotel-keeper of North Gower Village,-and of the late John Johnston, Senior, of Reeve Craig.
