A FOREWORD

This history of Samuel Craig and his Descendants was begun by Mrs. Margaret Campbell Craig. . She wrote partly from her own knowledge of events and also collected data from other ;-Sources. After her death, her granddaughter, Miss Jane Maria Craig, who had inherited her grandmother's love for genealogy, took up the work. Miss Craig had hoped to have the results of her work published in her lifetime and she had made some plans toward that end. At her death, the manuscript copy (:ame into_ the hands of her executors who had the same printed practically as Miss Craig had written it.

CHAPTER I.

INTRODUCTION

There is a legend that the Craigs obtained their name from· an ancestor who in the remote past discover­ ed in a battle that by striking an enemy between the helmet and armor ( or on the craig or neck) that he could bring off a head at each stroke, and called to his follow­ ers, "The Craigs boys, the Craigs", and ,so gained for himself the patronymic of Craig. Craig is identical with the word crag, one definition. of which (now obsolete) is given by Webster as "the neck or throat", and was so used by the early English poet, Edmund Spenser. The original home of the Craigs was Scotland, and two men of the name, John and Thomas Craig, were prominent there in the 16th century. John Craig was a man of considerable learning and ,singular abilities. He was born about the year 1512, and having obtained a good education, removed to England, and became tutor to the children of Lord Dacre. In consequence of war arisip.g between that country and Scotland, he returned home and entered a Dominican monastery, but being suspected of heresy he was cast into prison and kept there for a time. On obtaining his liberty he traveled first to England and France, and then removed to Rome, where he was in such favor with Cardinal Pole, that he was appointed to instruct novices of the Dominican cloister at Bologna. Here being ad­ vanced to the rectorate, he had access to the library, where, happening to read "Calvin's Institutes", he soon. imbibed and openly professed the Protestant doctrines. He was sent to Rome, tried, and condemned to be burn­ ed; but the Pope (Paul IV.) having died the day before his intended execution, the people broke open all ~~~ -6- prisons and set the prisoners free. John Craig escaped to Vienna and obtained some favor at the court of Maximillian II ; but the news of his being there reached Rome, and the Pope demanded his surrender as one condemned for heresy. The Emperor, however, instead of complying with the request of his holiness, gave Craig a safe conduct out of Germany. He n.ow returned to Scotland and was appointed the colleague of John Knox in the parish church of Edinburgh. Thinking the mar­ riage of Queen Mary and Bothwell contrary to the word of God, he, while holding this position, boldly refused to proclaim the bans. In 1572 Craig was sent to "illuminate the dark places" in Forfarshire and Aber­ deenshire,, and remained in the north until 1579, when he was appointed minister to King James the VI in Edin­ burgh. He now took a leading part in the affairs of the church; he wa,s the writer of the "National Covenant" signed by the King and his household in 1580, and the compiler of a catechism, commonly called "Craig's Cate­ chism", which was first printed by order of the Assembly in 1591. He appears to have been a man of unusual resolution and activity, and was 1so conscientious and courageous that he did not fail to reprove the King and his Court when he thought they did not do right. He died in 1600, when over eighty-eight years of age. (Scots Worthies and Chambers Encyclopedia Vol. IV., page 705.) Sir Thomas Craig was an advocate at the Scottish Bar, and a literary man of great ability, also an anti­ quarian of note. In the latter part of his life he acted as advocate for the Church of Scotland. He was so highly esteemed by the king that he wished to confer the honor of knighthood upon him, and upon his refusal to accept it, ordered all persons to address him as though he had accepted the title. He died in 1608. (Chambers En.cyclopedia, Vol. IV, page 705.) -7- During the bitter persecutions in Scotland in the 17th century no doubt many of our name endured sufferings that are unrecorded. In an old Scotch book, "The Cloud of Witnesses", there is a record that Rev. Donald Cargill, who suffered martyrdom in 1681, "For about three years usually resided in the house of Margaret Craig, a very godly woman., where he lectured morning and evening to such as came to hear him'\ and also in the appendix of the same book, page 370, we learn that John Craig, of Glassport Parish, was in the battle of Bothwell Bridge and one of the 250 prisoners who were sentenced to be banished to America and sold as slaves. These men. were placed on a vessel and the vessel was wrecked and 200 of them drowned, among them John Craig. The battle of Bothwell Bridge was fought June 22, 1679. A number of Craigs came at different _ dates to America, both before and shortly after. the Revolution, who probably had a common ancestry in Scotland, but whose descendants cannot now trace any connecting link. The year 1684, the date given for the arrival of our ancestors, is also the date recorded for the coming of an Andrew Craig to 1-{ ew Jersey. Andrew Craig be­ came the owner of land situated southwest of the Rahway river within the present bounds of Westfield Township, in. Union County, New Jersey. He was born in 1662 and died October 6, 1739; Married Susanna ----. Children :-Andrew, John, William, Margery, Elizabeth, Mary and Martha. Andrew Craig, the 1st, was made an Associate of the Elizabethtown Purcha,sers in 1699 or 1700, and Andrew, the 2nd, was on the Town. Committee in 1740 and also 1750. Andrew Craig and his wife Susanna and their son John are buried in Old St. John's churchyard, Elizabethi $ New Jersey. The following 1s inscribed on John Craig's tombstone:- "Weep not for me my friends, For why? My race is run. It is the Will of God. And let His Will be done." Among the settlers imported by Lord Neil Camp­ bell, as of December, 1685, were John Craig and his son Archibald and a James Craig ( supposed to be John's son). These Craigs later became influential in Mon­ mouth County, New Jersey, and were among the found­ ers of "Old Scots Church", near Freehold, organized about 1692. This church, now called "Old Tennent'\ occupies historic ground, as the battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778, was fought in the vicinity, and in its graveyard was buried the British Colonel Monckton, who was killed in that battle. Here are also buried six Craigs who were soldiers of the American Revolution:­ David, two Johns, Samuel and vVilliam Craig. The church edifice, built in 1751, is still used as a place of worship. The home of one of these John Craigs was used as a hospital by the British; before abandoning the house, Mrs. Craig put her silver in the bottom of the well, but the British soldiers fastened an iron kettle to the well sweep, and being very thirsty, drank the well dry and got the silver. The iron kettle is still in the possession of her descendants. Much of this informa­ tion was received from Mr. Samuel Craig Cowart, a lawyer of Freehold, and an elder of the Presbyterian church there, who is a descendant of the Craigs, who were among the founders of "Old Scots" church, and whose family still own the land their ancestors possessed more than two hundred years ago. (Other records from "History of Old Tennent.") About 1700 a family of Craigs, consisting of four brothers and three sisters, Daniel, Thomas, James, William, Sarah, Margaret and Jane, came from the North of Ireland-presumably from Derry-to Eastern -9- Pennsylvania. Daniel Craig had a daughter Sarah who married John Barnhill; their daughter Margaret mar­ ried Cornelius V. S. Roosevelt, and their son Theodore married Martha Bullock, and their son is ex-President Theodore Roosevelt of the United States. In 1728, Thomas, James and William Craig, with their sister Jane and her husband, John Boyd, went from Philadelphia to a place on Catasauqua Creek within the bounds of the present Northampton County, Pennsyl­ vania, and founded the "Craig Settlement", later known as· the "Irish Settlement." There were at least six (perhaps more) descendants of these Craigs who served in the war of the American Revolution; among them a grandson of Thomas Craig-also Thomas Craig-, who served from the beginning to the close of the Revolution in 1775 as Second Lieutenant, promoted ,suc­ cessively to the offices of Captain, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel in 1776 and 1777, Brevetted Brigadier General 1783, and in 1807 become Major General of the 7th Division Pennsylvania Militia. He was en­ gaged in Northern New York and Canada, fought at Brandywine and Germantown, endured the terrible hard­ ships at Valley Forge, took a distinguished part at Mon­ mouth under General Wayne an.d with his Regiment (3rd Penna. Regt. in Continental Line), assisted in the repulse of the bayonet charge of the British Grenadiers under Monckton, the flower of the British army. When Arnold turned traitor, and no one knew whom to trust, Colonel Craig',s regiment was one chosen to make West Point secure. It was through Col. Craig that Mrs. Lydia Darragh, of Philadelphia, conveyed to General Washington warning of the intended attack at White Marsh by the British, she having overheard General Howe communicating the plans of attack to his officers, in her house. This was December 2, 1777. General Thomas Craig died at Allentown, Pa., January 20, 1832, when upwards of 92 years of age, and his funeral took place with military honors. He had a son Thomas who had four ,sons :-Col. John Craig, who served in the Civil War as Colonel of the 147th Penna. Regiment; the late Judge Allen Craig, of Mauch Chunk, Pa.; Mr. William Craig, of Blue Springs, Nebraska, and Col. Robert Craig, of Washington, D. C., of the regular army and a graduate of West Point. General Thomas Craig had a brother--John Craig-who was commission­ ed December 2, 1778, and served as Captain in the 4th Regiment Penna. Light Dragoons, and was pronounced by General Washington the best horseman in the army. He was Sheriff of Northampton County, Penna., from 1793 to 1796. Captain Samuel Craig of this connection served six year,s in the Continental Line from Pennsylvania, and after the close of the war settled in Green County, Tennessee. The late Judge Oliver Perry Temple, of Knoxville, Tenn., was a grandson.

The foregoing interesting and valuable information about the Northampton County, Pa., Craigs was re­ ceived from Rev. John C. Clyde, D. D., author of "History of the Irish Settlement", and Mr. W. H. Craig, of Rochester, New York, a great grandson of General Thomas Craig. February 28, 1730, an Andrew Craig, with his wife and children, arrived in Boston and settled in Wrent­ ham, Mass. Of this family their son John, bo-rn 1721, married Mary Skinner and they had a family of twelve children :-John, Moses, Elias, Enoch, Elijah, Mary, Jesse, Sarah, Hannah, David, Eleanor and Margaret. Enoch Craig served in the war of the American Revo­ lution and later settled in Farmington, Maine.. where he died in 1835. (Information received from Frederick W. Craig, Esq., Des Moines, Iowa.) In 1734 Jesse Craig settled in Kent County, Dela- --:1.1_- ware, and shortly after moved to the Cumberland Val­ ley, Pa. ( either 1735 or 1736) accompanied by the Col­ wells, Bradys, Chambers, Culbertsons and Alexanders. Wm. Craig, a nephew of Jesse Craig, emigrated to Franklin County in 1800. (Hugh B. Craig.) In 1736, Moses Craig came from the North of Ire­ land and settled in Bedminster Township, Somerset County, New Jersey. He had three sons, John, Aaron and Robert; of these sons, Dr. Aaron Craig was a 1sur­ geon in the Revolutionary War. (History Huntingdon and Somerset Counties, N. J.) In 1740 Rev. John Craig emigrated from Ireland to the Valley of Virginia, and was the pioneer Presbyterian preacher of Augusta County, Virginia, and preached to the soldiers as they marched to their defeat under Gen­ eral Braddock in 1755. His immediate parish was thirty miles long, but he preached and baptized wherever he went. On Sabbath he began service at 10 A. M. and with a brief interval con.tinued until sunset. His only printed sermon is said to contain. fifty-five divisions and sub-divisions. (From lecture of Hon. J. A. Waddell before seventh Congress of the Scotch Irish Society.) A cousin of Rev. John Craig, also named John Craig, emigrated in early life to Augusta County, Vir­ ginia. In. 1775 he took a drove of cattle to Lincoln County, Kentucky, and the following year made a per­ manent settlement there. He became the owner of an extensive estate called "Craigland", which later be­ came the property of his grandson., William Craig. This William Craig was a surgeon in the war of 1812, and at one time a member of the Kentucky Legis­ lature, also an elder in the Presbyterian church. He was the father of the late Rev. Willis Green Craig, D. D. L. L. D., of the McCormick Theologkal Seminary, Chicago, Ill. 12 There is a Craigsville in Augusta County, Virginia, and a Craig County in that vicinity. About 1766 Isaac Craig came from County Down, Ireland, to Philadelphia, where he remained until the Revolution, in which he saw much active service. In 1775 and 1776 he served in the navy, first as Lieutenant, later as Captain of the Marines. He afterward with his Company joined the army as infantry, and they were in the battles of Trenton and Princeton. March 3, 1777, he was appointed Captain of Artillery in the Penna. Regiment under Col. Thomas Proctor and served with this regiment until it was disbanded at the close of the war. Afer service at various places, he was order­ ed on April 20, 1780, to Fort Pitt, with artillery and military stores, and on March 12, 1782, Captain Craig was promoted to the office of Major. (Pages 193 and 194, Vol. II, Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania). Major Craig settied permanently in Pittsburgh. Before t'itts­ burgh wcLs laid out in lots by the Penns the first sale of land there was made to Craig and Bayard January 22, 1784, of all the land between Fort Pitt and the Allegheny River, and the first salt works was erected in 1784 by Craig and Bayard on Big Beaver. The first steps toward the erection of the first glass works at Pittsburgh were taken in 1796 by Major Isaac Craig and Colonel James O'Hara. (Centennial number Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, published July 20, 1886.) Major Craig mar­ ried a daughter of General Neville and their descendants have been among the most influential people of Pitts­ burgh. Iri 1807 Major Isaac Craig was President of the Board of Trustees of the "First Presbyterian Congrega­ tion of the Borough of Pittsburgh." Their son Neville B. Craig, Esq., was a literary man of great ability. In 1829 he became editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette and in 1833 started the daily edition of that paper. He was also editor of "The Olden Time", a monthly published in 1846-47, d~voted to the "Preservation of Documents -13- Relating to the Early History of Pittsburgh." He wa,s also the writer of a "History of Pittsburgh." Isaac Craig, the son of Neville B. Craig, was an an.ti­ quarian of note and his library is said to have been one of the finest collections of rare and valuable books and manuscripts in Allegheny County, Penna. (Information obtained from Centennial number Pittsburgh Commer­ cial Gazette.) Tradition says the Isaac Craig connection were re­ mote relatives of Samuel Craig, of the Derry Settlement, W esmoreland County, Pa. CHAPTER II. Samuel Craig, the Pioneer to Westem Pennsylvania.

It is a tradition that the Craigs of Samuel Craig's line of ancestry fled from religious persecution in Scot­ land to the North of Ireland, but finding it little better in Ireland came to America in 1684; exiles for their allegiance to the principles of Presbyterianism. "An Andrew Craig is of record as being 'imported in October, 1684, by John Forbes', who ,settled in Mid­ dlesex County, New . Jersey." (Genealogical Notes, History of Old Tennent Church, N. J., page 462.) On page 311 in a book entitled "The Early Germans of New Jersey" by Theodore Freylinghuyson Cham­ bers, in the Newbury Library, Chicago, Ill., is the fol­ lowing record : "Andrew Craig, born 1662, died October 6, 1739, aged 77, came to New Jersey with the Scotch in Gov. Laurie's time. Married Susanna --, born 1668, died April 6, 1727, aged 59. In March, 1700, he was admitted as an a,ssociate of Elizabethtown purchasers, and drew Lot 162 on S. W. side of Rahway river, within the bounds of the present Westfield. (Hatfield History of Elizabeth). Held the office of Alderman. His will, dated September 28, 1738, probated October 24, 1739. Children: !.-Andrew. IL-John, born 1695, died August 22, 1758, aged 63, buried in St. John's churchyard, Elizabeth. Children:- 1.-John. 2.-Samuel, had children, John, Alexander, Rose. 3.-David. -15- 4.-Rose. 5.-Margaret. !IL-Um. IV .-Margery. V. -Elizabeth. VI.-Mary. VII .-Martha." The foregoing proves conclusively that John Craig wais the father and Andrew Craig the grandfather of Samuel Craig, the pioneer to Western Pennsylvania. Whether the father of this family was the John Craig who was in the battle of Bothwell Bridge we do not know, but there are two branc1:J.es of the Craig family that came to New Jersey according to record and tra­ dition. in 1684. An Andrew Craig who settled near Elizabeth, N. J., who was probably on older brother of John Craig, _our ancestor-the father of Samuel Craig, the pioneer to what is now Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. After an interval of about sixty-five years, during which we have no record or tradition of the movements of the family who came in 1684, we find the Samuel Craig branch of it in Warren County, New Jersey, at or near Belvidere on the Delaware river. They were there as early as 1753, perhaps earlier. Across the Delaware, a few miles distant, was the "Craig or Irish Settlem,ent" in Northampton County, Pa., founded in 1728 by Thomas Craig and brothers and sisters. The relationship between these people and Samuel Craig, of Belvidere, is not known to the writer, but they were probably related. Samuel Craig married Elizabeth McDonald, who was born. in Scotland, and whose name would indicate Highland ancestry. They became the parents of nine children, among them twin daughters who so closely re­ sembled each other that their own mother could not dis- -16- . tinguish one from the other except by having them wear different colored beads. Of their life in New Jtrsey little is known. Small­ pox entered the family and Mrs. Craig and one of the twin daughters and another child died within the space of three days, and the other twin-Esther-lost the sight of one eye from the disease. The names of the surviving children were: John, Alexander, Samuel, Rose, Elizabeth, Esther and Mary. The name of Samuel Craig's second wife was Jane Boyd, and she was of Irish birth; their children were Andrew, Joseph, William, Jane, Nancy (or Agnes) and Rebecca. It is said that Samuel Craig and family started from New Jersey to Western. Pennsylvania in 1766, but when on the mountains the Indians stole their horses and cows and they were compelled to return to a settlement. This settlement was probably in Lurgan Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, which was situated in. that part of the county which wa,s afterward included in Franklin County, as Lurgan Township, is given as Samuel Craig's place of residence when he bought his land in what is now Westmoreland County, Pennsyl­ vama. In. December, 1769, Samuel Craig bought a tract of land on the eastern side of the Loyalhanna in what_ was then called the "Derry Settlement", from Thomas Bur­ bridge, of which business transaction the following is the Article of Agreement copied word for word and letter for letter, as recorded in Deed Book A, page 435, Westmoreland County Records. "Article of Agreement made and concluded on the Fifteenth day of December One Thousand and Seven Hundred and Sixty-nine by and between Thomas Bur­ bridge of the County of Cumberland at the Loyalhanna of the one part and Samuel Craig of Lurgan. Township of the County of Cumberland of the other part.

Thom's Burbridge (SEAL) Samuel Craig (SEAL)" Sealed and delivered in the presence of Laurence Irvin Michael Horner John Craig. "Westmoreland ss Be it remembered that on the 2nd day of February, 1785, the within named Thomas Burbridge came personally before me the subscriber one of the Commonwealth Justice of the Court of Common Pleas of the said county and he acknowledged the within instrument of writing to be his act and Deed and Desired that the same may be Recorded as such. Given under my hand and seal the Day and year above written. Recorded February 4, 1785. John Moor Esquire." In or near 1772-exact date unknown-Samuel Craig brought his family to live on this land and their cabin home was situated near the Loyalhanna opposite the mouth of the Crab Tree. -18- The early settler,s were in constant dread of the Indians, and in 1774 there was great alarm in this re­ gion, and petitions were sent to Governor Penn from different places in Westmoreland County asking for pro­ tection, among them one from the house of John Shields which was signed by John Shields, Arthur Denniston, John Denniston, Samuel Craig, John Craig, Alexander Craig, Thomas Burbridge and others. A small fort was erected on the hill near the present residence of the Matthew Shields heirs, on land owned by John Shields, and called "Fort Shields", and here the people fled in times of danger. Not far from this fort, on land after­ ward owned by Alexander Craig, a young man was buried who had been killed by the Indians. For many years a heap of stones marked his grave. When the colonies were beginning to resist the ex­ cessive taxation of the mother country, and our patriotic "backwoodsmen" held their memorable meeting at Hannastown. May 16, 1775, and drew up the Resolutions that have ,since been called "Westmoreland's Declara­ tion of Independence", they proceeded to organize militia to drill for service should it become necessary to battle for their rights. In the 1st Battalion Westmore­ land County Provincials, Colonel John Proctor, Com­ mander, were Samuel Craig and his three ,sons, John, Alexander and Saf!mel, Jr., (all the family who were able to bear arms). Samuel, Sr., was Lieutenant and Color Bearer, and his son Alexander held an office now unknown. These soldiers were ordered east in 1776 and suffered great hardships in that terrible march through an almost trackless wildnerness and partici­ pated in a number of hard fought battles under General Washington, but in the latter part of 1777 many of them were sent back to protect the frontier from the depredations of the Indians, and served along the West­ em Border until the close of the Revolution. An extract from a letter dated November 15, 1897, -19- writteii by Dr. Egle, State Librarian of Pennsylvania, is as follows: "Samuel Craig, Sr., was commissioned Lieu­ tenant in July, 1776, in Col. John Proctor's Battalion of W estmorelaid County Militia." After his return to Western. Pennsylvania he, un­ der an order, was for sometime acting Commissary and the duties of his office called him to Fort Ligonier. Be­ fore starting it i,s said he refused a guard, saying, "They would think the old man was cowardly", and he never reached Ligonier, as he was taken prisoner on Chestnut Ridge. In a diary kept by Thomas Galbraith at the build­ ing of Fort Ligonier is the following entry': "Nov. 3rd, 1777, Monday. They likewise found a mare belonging to Samuel Craig who had been going to Ligonier for salt on Saturday, Nov. 1st, 1777. He is supposed to be taken prisoner as his body could not be found." -(Frontier Forts of Pa., Vol. 2, page 244.) In the writings of Mrs. Margaret C. Craig, relating to the captu·re of her grandfather, i,s the following: "He was taken prisoner by the Indians on the Chestnut Ridge, his beautiful bay mare was found dead perforated by eight bullets. Fragments of paper were found strewn along the path to indicate the direction taken by the Indians. All efforts of his family to ascertain his fate were unavailing. Some exchanged prisoners reported afterward that an old man who was a prisoner with them would have been exchanged at the same time if he had not been sick and unable to travel; it may possibly have been Mr. Craig." N OTE.-Since the foregoing was published the writer has learned that a grandson of Samuel Craig in the ,state of Indiana met an exchanged prisoner who told him that Samuel Craig and he were exchanged at the same time and that Samuel Craig died in Philadelphia when on his way home. -20- The place of Samuel Craig's capture is believed to have been on the western slope of the Chestnut Ridge about eight or nine miles south of the "packsaddle" on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The History of Westmoreland County recorded that the Proctors, Lochreys, Craigs and Sloans were among the early members of Unity Presbyterian Con­ gregation. For several year15 prior to the erection of a church building, preaching services were held in "Proc­ tor's Tent", and it is probable that there Samuel Craig may have heard the few 1sermons it was his privilege to hear after his arrival in the Derry Settlement. Of his traits of character we know little except from inference, and this would indicate that he was a man of bravery and resolution; the fact that his sons were men of upright character, noted for honesty, truthfulness, and other noble qualities, would be an indication that their father not only possessed these characteristics but had trained his children in the paths of rectitude by precept and example. However, we are told a story of him that by way of jest he could draw on his imagination. There had been a political meeting in "Denniston's Town" (now New Alexandria), held by the party of opposite political views from himself, and he told that as he was going home after dark that night, he saw an object lying in the road and stirred it up with his staff, when it proved to be "His Satanic Majesty." He said to him, "Why are you lying here, why are you not in Dennis­ ton's Town attending to business?" And Satan replied, "Oh, there are Squire ---- and others (giving the names of prominent men) attending to my business for me, so I do not need to trouble my,self ." But we can

"No further seek his merit to disclose Nor draw his fra.ilties from their .dread abode." On April 25, 1783, Letters of Administration were granted on the estate of Samuel Craig, deceased, by the Register of Wills in and for Westmoreland County, -21- Pennsylvania, to Jane Craig, his widow, and John Craig, and their bond taken in 500 lbs. In the settlement of the estate the older sons relinquished all claim to the land their father had owned, as they said they were able to provide for themselves and the land wais divided be­ tween the younger sons.

Thomas Burbridge, the man from whom Samuel' Craig bought his land, arranged to have his home with the Craigs, and lived with them for many years, working with them and for them, and also hunting with them, and remained with them for seven years or more after the capture of Samuel Craig, but at length he disappear­ ed and they were never able to discover what became of him. (See "History of the Backwoods" by A. W. Patte­ son, 1843_)

It is said that the first settler on the land afterward owned by Samuel Craig was William Burbridge, who came there shortly after the capture of Fort Du QueSne by General Forbes, who made what was called a "toma­ hawk improvement." He is said to have been killed by an Indian, with whom he was on friendly terms, because the Indian coveted a fine rifle owned by Burbridge. After the death of his brother, Thomas Burbridge obtained possession of his claim, and after the opening of the land o:ffic_e April 3, 1769, for the sale of land in this "New Purchase", became the legal owner. Thomas Burbridge was one of the original owners of at least part of the land within the present limits of New Alexandria before it came into the possession of Alexander Denniston.

John Craig and Descendants.

John, oldest son of Samuel and Elizabeth McDon­ ald Craig, was born April 27, 1753, in or near Belvidere, Warren County, New Jersey, a short distance north of Easton, Pennsylvania. It is said that about three years after the family ar­ rived at the Derry Settlement, his father sent him back to New J er.sey for horses, giving him full instructions as to the distance he was to travel each day and where he was to ,stop for lodging by the way. It took twelve days to go on horseback, and he carried out his father's program exactly, but when returning with four horses it required two more days. On one occasion in the Derry Settlement he narrowly escaped capture by the Indians near Wallace's Fort, but succeeded in reaching the fort in safety with only the los,s of his gun. As previously stated, he became a member of Col­ onel John Proctor'~ Battalion of Militia organized at Hannastown, later served in the Ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, Continental Line, and saw much active service during the Revolution. About the close of the Revolution John Craig was commissioned Captain of the Scouts, with orders to re­ cruit a Company of forty men who would be ready to go at once when called. Their business was to watch the Indians along the Frontier, and to give notice to headquarters when there was any sign of an Indian raid; his division was from the Kiskiminetas River to Red Bank. Captain John Craig was for some time Commander of a fort at Freeport. History say,s he was famous iQ --24- "Border Warfare", but he never would acknowledge having killed an Indian. Once when one of his men wa,s pursued by one, and in danger of being "toma­ hawked" he fired his rifle, but when asked if he had killed the Indian, he replied, "I do not know, but my man came back safe." In 1780 John Craig married Martha, daughter of Samuel Clark, and their first home was on his "settler's claim" in the vicinity of Hannastown, the county seat of Westmoreland County. On July 13, 1782, when the alarm was raised of the approach of the Indians, Mr. Craig was away, and Mrs. Craig with her two children hid in a field of rye in sight of their home to wait for his return. In a little while he came and together they reached the fort in safety, and helped in its defense, and were witnesses to the de­ struction of Hannastown, the first seat of justice west of the Allegheny mountains. After the removal of the Courts to Greensb~rg, at the first court held January 7, 1787, John Craig was one of the Grand Jurors and his brother Alexander, a Traverse Juror. In 1790, he was appointed Collector of the "whiskey tax" and performed the duties of his office during the "Whiskey Insurrection." In. 1794 or 1795, -the Indians having gone farther north, the Government decided to have surveyed and laid out in sections, the territory now composing Arm­ strong and Indiana Counties. Captain Craig was se­ lected to furnish provisions and act as book-keeper for the surveyors, and this gave him opportunity to acquire desirable tract,s of land in the vicinity of Craigsville and Freeport, Armstrong County. In 1795, or perhaps 1796, John Craig and family moved to the vicinity of Freeport, Armstrong County, where he made his home the rest of his life. Captain Craig was one of the Trustees appointed -25- to receive or purchase land for ·county purposes. By an act, April 4, 180~, they were directed to "survey one hundred and fifty acres of land, part of the Kittanning tract, and part of whic4 James and John Armstrong had given to the Governor for the use of the County; to lay out lots .for public buildings, and the residue to lay out in town lots and out lots, to sell at public auction for the use of the county; and to lay out a town to be called Kittanning, at the place where General Armstrong de­ feated the. J:ndians in 1755." Captain Craig was a good scholar for the time and place in which he lived; an extra good penman, and a diligent and attentive reader. He was very conserva­ tive in his opinions and actions, formed his own opin­ ions and executed them in his own way, and kept well posted on the topics of his day. He opposed the adoption of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, because it did not prohibit foreigners from voting until they had been in the country for at least fifteen years. In stature he was five feet, seven inches, and a re­ markably active man until an advanced age. He died at his home near Freeport, Penna., at the age of ninety­ seven and his place of burial was in the old cemetery at Freeport. Mr. and Mrs. John Craig were the parents of five children: !.-Samuel Craig, born January 26, 1781, died in 1865, in his eighty-fifth year. Married Mary, daughter of James and Elizabeth Kennedy Milligan, June 2, 1808, the Rev. John Boyd officiating. Samuel Craig was born near Hannastown, Penna., and was one of the lit­ tle children in the fort when Hannastown was burned by the Indians. He was in his fifteenth year when the family moved to Armstrong County but returned for a short tiIJ1.e to Westmoreland to learn the trade of "Fuller". He worked at this trade for a few years. and then devoted his time to farming. He was a leading abolitionist when the slavery question wa,s agitated. -26- His residence was near Craigsville, Penna.

IL-Isabella Craig, born 1782, died 1872 in her 90th year. Married Rev. James Boyd in 1807. Mr. Boyd was born in 1774, died March 8, 1813. · NOTE: The Boyd family came from Ireland to America to escape religious persecutions and were among the early me~bers of the Presbyterian Congre­ gation of "Old Salem" in Derry Township, Westmore­ land County, Penna. Four sons of this family, Revs. John, Abraham, James and Benjamin Boyd, were "ministerial sons of Old Salem." There is a tradition that after embarking for America one of the children of the family developed small pox and they were com­ pelled to return to shore and the ship sailed and was never heard of again. Some time later they embarked on another vessel and reached America in safety. Rev. James Boyd became a missionary among the Indians in the Western Reserve near the present Warren, Ohio. There were only two other white fam- -29- ilies in that region and the nearest was six miles from their log cabin home. Mrs. Boyd owned the only darn­ ing needle there and these white people would borrow it. Once the fire of the Boyd's went out, and they had no means to kindle a fire, and Mr. Boyd had to go six miles to obtain a shovelful of coals, which he kept -re­ plenished by the way until he reached home. Mrs. Boyd was much afraid of the Indians. Once when Mr. Boyd was away for ,supplies of food, their old­ est little boy-a fair complexioned child with long white curls-was playing before the door, and she saw two Indians with him examining his curls; she was greatly alarmed, as she thought they might ,scalp him, and as quickly as she could she gathered all the eatables . she could find and motioned to them to come and eat, which they did, and after eating departed, but sh~ still feared they might return and kill them. A short time after, 'tXThPn Mr Rn~rrt 'tllT!::IC:: ~t hnrnP thP"tT ,t;,t rPtni-n h11t thPv ...... - ...... , ...... ---J '-A ...... --1,J "6- ...... - ...... -, "' ..... -J '\,,a..l.'\,,a.

After almost six years labor among the Indians Mr. Boyd died and was buried near Warren, Ohio, and l\1rs. Boyd returned to her father's home near Freeport, Pa. On her return trip, Mr,s. Boyd and her three little chil­ dren were accompanied by one of the white men of the neighborhood and a friendly Indian. She was a widow for about fifty-nine years. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd: 1.

One child: Ida Jessie. - IV .-John Craig, born 1787, died 1868, in his eighty-second year. Married Mary Daugherty. After the removal of his father's family to Armstrong County, he and his sister Elizabeth were sent back to West­ moreland County to attend school, as there were no ,schools in Armstrong County at that time. Although he received no education in school beyond reading, writ­ ing and arithmetic, yet by using his spare time in read­ ing and study, he was regarded as one of the most intel­ ligent men in his co:m.munity he had a good command -35- of the English language, and a convincing way of speaking in conversation, argument and public speaking. He was a successful business man in factory, mill and mercantile business, also in the oil business and dealing in Western lands. He was an active temperance man, not only a total abstainer himself, but would not permit the use of liquor on his premises ; with three or four others he formed a temperance club, which afterward became a large and useful society. At an early age John Craig united with the Presby­ terian church and was elected to the office of ruling elder when comparatively young. He was an active worker for the emancipation of the slave at the time when aboli­ tionists were few in his locality (he being one of five in Armstrong County) and were branded as "traitors to the . Government, trying to destroy its Constitution", and called "nigger lovers who wanted to associate with them as equals." Although he did not live on the main line of the "Underground Railroad", yet his house was a statio_µ on a branch road, and he helped many a poor slave on his way to freedom. · When the Presbyterian General Assembly passed a Resolution requiring their minister,s to remain neutral on the slavery question, he and a few others, believing this action to be wrong, withdrew from the Presby­ terian church, and petitioned the Free Presbyterian Pres­ bytery near New Castle, Penna., to organize a Free Pres­ byterian congregation at Worthington, Penna., and this was done. After they increased in numbers they built a church, and continued in the Free Presbyterian church until slavery was abolished, when there was no longer a reason for them maintaining a separate congregation and they were received into the Presbyterian church. Mr. Craig was a delegate to the National Conven­ tion at Buffalo when a candidate for President was nomi­ nated by the Abolition party, and afterward when the -36--:- name of the party was changed to that of Free Soilers, he was sent as a delegate to the National Convention held in Philadelphia in 1865 when John C. Fremont was nominated for President. The estimate in which the Craigs of Craigsville, Penna., were held in their own vicinity wa,s expressed by a neighbor in the following way: "I believe old John Craig was as honest a man as ever lived; that young John (Samuel's son) would rather break his neck than his word, and that old Sam was a sight honester than either of them." It has been said that in their business transactions, and in their controversie,s in propagating their advanced ideas about temperance and slavery, they were never charged by their most bitter opponents with dishonesty, insincerity or untruthfulness.

CHAPTER IV. Alexander Craig and Descendants.

Alexander, son of Samuel and Elizabeth McDonald Craig, was born in New Jersey November 20, 1755. He entei:ed the army of the Revolution when in his twentieth yejr, was an officer in Col. John Proctor',s Bat­ talion, a~jf later Lieutenant in Captain John Shields' Company; was promoted during the war, but to what rank is not now known. He was with the army of General Washington when they crossed the Delaware, and participated in the bat­ tles of Trenton, Princeton and other important battles. The hardships of this campaign were terrible; rivers were waded when the water would be breast high, and ice floating; and with no tents, their only covering at night would b.e a blanket-if a few inches of snow would fall it would help to protect them from the winter blasts, but sometimes when they would attempt to rise in the morning their hair would be frozen to the ground. He re­ lated some incidents of the engagement at Ash Swamp that have been preserved among the writings of hi,s daughter, Margaret C. Craig. Our soldiers were so few in number in comparison with the enemy that they were compelled to fight them "Indian Fashion", and he and his comrade-Adam Maxwell-had a large oak tree for protection while loading their rifles, and then rested his rifle on the shoulder of the other while firing; while thus engaged a bullet from the enemy struck the tree and threw a piece of bark into Maxwell's face causing the blood to flow freely, and another bullet cut a lock of hair from the side of Craig's head. At length a superior offi­ cer came galloping up and commanded them to.,run a,3 they were being surrounded by the British. Alexander -46-- Craig said he was so certain that he would be killed, that he determined that the enemy should not have the satisfaction of seeing him run, and he retreated deliber­ ately at first, but finding that he was still unhurt, de­ cided to run. While running, a soldier fell by his side­ a bullet having broken one of his leg,3-and he begged them not to leave him; a Captain Cook sprang from his horse, and with Craig',s assistance placed the wounded man on his horse, and they all escaped through the swamp, which was of considerable extent. Although compelled to retreat in the morning, our soldiers re­ ceived such reinforcements that before the day closed, they turned on the enemy, and forced them to retreat beyond the ground ·they occupied in the morning. Alexander Craig was one of the soldiers who were sent back to Western Pennsylvania in the latter part of 1777, to aid in protecting the western border from the raids of the Indians. After the Revolution he served in the State Militia, and three of his commissions have been preserved; one given by Governor Mifflin in 1793 for the office of Lieu­ tenant Colonel, one given by Governor McKean in 1807 for the office of Brigadier General, and another given by Governor Snyder in 1811 for the same office; as Brigadier General his division embraced Westmoreland and Fayette Counties.- Mrs. Margaret C. Craig describes him in a "Morn­ ing Dream" as ,she remembered him in his militia cos­ tume:- "I've news to tell-you say what is it? O, it was a paternal visit. My father came, and as of yore, The military costume wore; His coat was blue, and buff his vest, Breeches of buckskin, nicely drest, Were neatly buckled at the knee, O'er limbs of fautless symmetry, And on his manly shoulders sat The gay, the glittering epaulette. He wore a queue, with powdered hair, And ruffles plait with nicest care, And from the chapeau on his head, A white plume waved just tipped with red; A neat cockade, red, white and blue Adorn'd the front of the chapeau, -47-

His sword was hanging by his side; On his white charger he did ride­ His form and features just the same As when I learned to lisp his name. I flew to him-he looked-he smiled, I saw he recognized his child." In 1812 a letter came to General Craig from Dr. Postlewaite, of Greensburg, conveying the news that war had been declared with England. He arose, paced the floor in silence for a few minutes and then said, "I have but one son and he is too delicate to perform the duties of a soldier; I am growing old, but if my country requires my services, they shall not be with­ held." He with two other men of the same military rank met in Pittsburgh, and had recourse to the lot to decide which should go, and in this way it was decided that another should go, and he returned to his home. He outlived all the officers of Colonel John Proctor's Battalion of Associators, with whom his military career began, and the Flag of that Battalion was present­ ed to him some years before his death. This "Rattle­ snake Flag" of 1775 is made of heavy crimson silk; it is six feet four inches long by five feet ten inches wide, and in the upper corner next where the flag staff has been is the English Union Jack of 1707 on a blue field. A rattlesnake painted the natural color on the red field of the flag is coiled in the attitude of striking, having thirteen rattles erect representing the thirteen colonies. The head of the snake with fangs protruding is erect­ ed defiantly toward the English Union. Below• the snake is the significant motto, "Don't Tread On Me." Above the snake are the letters "J. P." and below these letter1s, "I. B. W. C. P." and are said to mean John Proctor's First Battalion, Vv estmoreland County Pro­ vincials. This flag has been guarded with care by suc­ cessive generations of hi,s descendants until the present time. Alexander Craig married Jane Clark, daughter 0£ James and Barbara Sanderson Clark. Mrs. Craig was born near Carlisle, Penna., March 15, 1766. The exact 48 •• date of their marriage has not been preserved, but it was in or near 1783, as he was twenty-seven years of age at the time of his marriage. The marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. James Power-the first Presby­ terian minister who remained permanently in West­ moreland County. The dress of the bride was made of "fine twined linen", spun by her mother and herself, and woven very thin, and bleached to a snowy white­ ness, and is said to have been beautiful. NOTE :-Mrs. Craig's mother was born on the ocean as her parents-a. Mr. and. Mrs. Sanderson­ were coming from Ireland to America, and the Captain of the vessel suggested that she should be named Mary Ann, for the vessel, but she was named Barbara. Mrs. Craig's father-James Clark-brought his family to Unity Township, Westmoreland County, in 1771, and when Hannasown was attacked by the Indians, July 13, 1782, he went to assist in the defense of the Fort, while his family, a few miles away, could hear the yells of the savages, and every shot that was fired. Mr. and Mrs. Clark's oldest daughter married Gen­ eral Charles Campbell, of Indiana County; another daughter married David Todd, son of William Todd­ an early resident of this locality, and two of their sons married daughters of William Todd. William Todd was well known in the history of Westmoreland County, as he was a member of the Assembly, and later an Assa~ ciate Judge of the County. It is said that he came from the same stock from whom the Todds of Ohio and Ken­ tucky descended, one of whom was the wife of President Abraham Lincoln. His son David Todd became a prop­ erty owner in Armstrong County, Pa., and in 1796 laid out the town of Freeport which was called Toddstown for a long time. (Mrs. M. Craig and History of Back­ woods, page 297.) Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Craig lived at one time on the farm in Unity Township, Westmoreland County, now in possession of Edward S. Craig, as Alexander Craig owned that farm and the adjoining one now owned by A. S. Machesney. In 1792 they were living near Crooked Creek, as they were there March, 1792, when their second son was born. Two days after his birth, the mother a woke screaming, and when her husband in­ quired about the cause of her trouble, she replied that she had dreamed that an Indian was standing beside her, with a tomahawk raised ready to kill her. He then. told her that it was useless to conceal the truth longer, that there were Indians in the neighborhood, and they were in danger. She was then carried into a canoe and taken to a place of safety. In February, 1794, Alexander Craig purcha,sed the "Loveday Allen Farm", situated on the western side of the Loyalhanna, in Salem Township, Westmoreland County, from Samuel ·wallace, a merchant of Philadel­ phia; the deed is dated February 11, 1794; Samuel Wal­ lace had bought it from a woman named Loveday Allen in 1769. Here he made his home the remaining years of his life-almost forty years, and the farm is still in possession of a descendant. The first house in which they lived on this farm was a log cabin built by the men in one day; they sawed out the logs where the door was to be, and Mrs. Craig went in and leveled the floor with a hoe. About 1797, a large stone house was built, Mr. Craig choosing for its site a spot which he said was "a great natural situation for a house", and which stood un­ til 1858, when it was taken down, having become unsafe; the present brick house occupies the same site. Alexander Craig was a surveyor of land, and did much surveying in Western Pennsylvania, and this gave him opportunities to acquire many tracts of land, and he became an extensive land owner, not only in West­ moreland, but in Armstrong, Clarion and Indiana Coun­ ties. He had al,so land in Crawford County which was -50- •'donation land" given him because he had been a Revo- 1utionary soldier. It is recorded that settlements began to be made in Clarion County about 1800, and that a band of emi­ grants from \Vestmoreland went there under the in­ fluence and patronage of General Craig. He was agent for the Northwestern Land Company for the sale of their lands in Northumberland, Mifflin and Huntingdon Counties, and also acted as agent for the heirs of Governor Mifflin, who owned a great deal of land in what was then called the "backwoods·." A letter which is a fine specimen of penmanship, written by a son of Governor Mifflin. reads as follows : "Columbia 1 m 11th 1815. Respected Friend :- Thy brother-in-law, Peter Wallace, forwarded thy letter of 28th Nov. from Harrisburgh, and by a messen­ ger sent to him, I have received sixteen hundred and sixty-five dollars remitted by him ; but as thou omitted to mention the sums paid by the different purchasers, I cannot tell to which of us it belongs, and must there­ fore let it remain in bank, until I hear from thee again. Thy brother-in-law informed me he did not intend vis­ iting home during the adjournment of the Legislature at Christmas. I must therefore request thee to look out for some other conveyance, by whom thou may remit any other monies thou may have received ,since. I have not received any answer from my sister re­ specting the tract John Bell lives on- I have sold about sixty acres of my farm fronting on the road for fifty thousand dollars for the purpose of extending the Town laid out by my two brother-in-laws, James and William Wright; it is called Wrightsville; it has a front of about 1¼ miles on the river, and ex­ tends one mile on the road to York, to the west of my farm. The new bridge across the Susquehanna is fin­ ished connecting the two towns of Columbia and -51- Wrightsville together. Columbia has also had a large addition to it laid out, and sold off in town lots. The towns are both rapidly increasing the number of inhab­ itants. The lots from 50 to 60 feet front and 150 deep-­ the original cost of which were $180.00, have since sold from $500.00 to $2000.00, according to their situation. Mechanics who have not the funds to both purchase and build, take lots on ground rent at from $1.00 to $2.50 per foot front. If Providence once more blesses us with peace, and the government revert,s from, the heads of the "Atheists and Madmen" who so mismanage it, to the Disciples of Washington's principles, it will become one of the most flourishing inland situations in the United States. It is now and it always must he the common thoroughfare from Maine in the east to Georgia in the south ; hun­ dreds of wagons with dry goods (,since · the horse marine navigation commenced) from Boston, Salem, New York, &c., have passed here bound for Carolinas and Georgia, and have returned from thence loaded with bales of c·otton for the manufactories in New England. Hence the reason for all the specie being drained from the southern banks, and accumulated in those to the eastward; and thus unforeseen· to the darkened minds of Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and all the athei,stical gang, has Providence suffered the evils which they would have maliciously inflicted on New England, by embargoes, non-intercourse, &c., recoiled upon them­ selves; and in the end will drive them from the direction of the government into obscurity; from which by the blessing of the Almighty upon our country I hope they will never rise again. Please to write by the return of the mail and men­ tion by whom and how much each purchaser has paid of the money thou remitted by P. Wallace. I am Thy obliged friend J ona'n Mifflin." -52- Thomas Mifflin, a nephew of the Governor, visited Gentral Craig in 1825 and after his return home sent presents to Mrs. Craig and daughters, consisting of books and solid silver belt clasps, two sets of the latter are now in possession of the writer. In 1830, owing to advanced age and failing health, General Craig did not wish to continue to act as land agent, and when their business relations were about closing Mr. Lloyd Mifflin wrote to him, and closed his letter in the following way: "Altho I have never had the pleasure of thy personal acquaintance, yet from the length of time our family have had the benefit of thy attention to our business in thy neighborhood, and from the respectful terms in which I have always heard thee spoken of by such of my relatives as are acquainted with thee, the present prospect of our correspondence being ere long brought to a close, feels to me like dis­ solving my connexion with an old and highly esteemed friend. I am very respectfully,, Thy friend, Ld . M1·m· 11n. ,, Although General Craig transacted much business for himself and others, he never had a law suit, and often used his influence successfully in preventing litigation among his neighbors.- After the trouble with the Indians was over he often met them when out surveying or when engaged in other business, and he had sympathy for them and treated them with kindness. Knowing that the "whites" gen­ erally were prejudicial against them, and seized every opportunity to disoblige them, once as he was walking beside one of our rivers, he saw an Indian canoe tied to a tree, and believing that if almost any other white man would ,see it, that he would destroy it, he wrote his own name on the side of it, and sunk it into the water. Sometime after he was in a store in Pitts- -53- burgh when several Indians came in ; one of them heard him named, and walked up to him saying, "Alexander Craig, you a good man, you no destroy Indian canoe." His intercourse with the Indians made him acquainted with some of their remedies, one of which he put into practice on at least two occasions. Their remedy for the bite of a snake was to kill it, take out its entrails and apply to the wound. He was bitten by a copperhead one year, and by a rattlesnake another year, and thE> first -did not entirely heal until after he had been bitten by the other when there was a complete recovery. Alexander Craig was an expert marksman, and once when in the camp of Corn Planter-the celebrated Seneca chief-they spent some time shooting at mark, and to the surprise of all he excelled Corn Planter in the contest, who concluded that there must be some "witchery" about the gun and for that reason bought it. (Mrs. M. C. Craig.) In an old Day Book that is still in existence, kept by Robert Beattie who had the fir,st store known to have been in New Alexandria, is the following entry dated February 8, 1797: "Col. Alex'r Craig, Cr. By 49 lb. Deer Skins ...... 5 1-5 d. s. 1 Bare Ditto ... ·-······························ 15." He was an expert swimmer, and saved a number of peo­ ple from drowning. After the organization of Congruity Congregation the Craigs became adherents of that church. Alexander Craig did not connect himself with the church by mem­ bership, but was constant in his attendance at church, until the infirmities of age deprived him of that privi­ lege, and then hi,s Bible was his constant companion. Mrs. Craig was a member of that congregation for about forty years. One time when they were approaching the church, he was carrying a blue silk umbrella that had been sent as a present to Mrs. Craig from the east, and they met a man who recalled that he was a survey- -54- or, and pointing to the umbrella asked "Is that the thing ye survey the land wie?" It may have been the first umbrella that had been seen at Congruity. While Alexander Craig did not have the advantage of a liberal education, he was fond of reading, had a retentive memory, and his mind became well stored with useful knowledge; he was a man of good judg­ ment, was truthful, honest and generous. He lacked one in.ch of being six feet in heighth, and in the vigor of manhood was muscular, strong and active; a man of fine personal appearance and of fine manners. He was called the "pretty backwoodsman" by Eastern Pennsylvanian friends, and "handsome Aleck" by his own relatives. Alexander Craig was in failing health for several years and died October 29, 1832, having almost com­ pleted his seventy-seventh year, and was interred in Congruity cemetery, four miles from New Alexandria, Penna. Mrs. Craig survived him almost twenty years ; died November 19, 1852, when in her eighty-seventh year. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Craig were the parent,s of eight children : I.-James Craig, born December 5, 1789, died Sep­ ember 11, 1829, unmarried, when in his fortieth year. II.-Samuel Craig, born March 15, 1792, died when in his fifth year. Buried in Old Unity Cemetery. III.-Alexan.der Craig, born April 7, 1795, died in his fifth year. Buried in Old Unity Cemetery. IV.-Elizabeth Craig, born April 2, 1798. Died when in her twenty-fourth year of that "fell destroyer" consumption. Buried at Congruity. Married James Moorhead,· an influential resident of New Alexandria, Pa. When a member of the Legislature, Major Moor­ head obtained an appropriation from the State to aid in building the present bridge across the Loyalhanna at New Alexandria. A member of the Legislature op- -55- posed givmg the money, saying the Loyalhanna was nothing but a "frog pond", when the Major stated that he had lately rescued from drowning something that bore a much stronger resemblance to the gentleman who had been speaking than it did to a frog, and he secured the appropriation. The bridge was built in 1832. Major Moorhead built one of the first two brick hot.11ses that were built in the locality of New Alexandria; these houses were built of brick out of the same kiln, and the one Major Moorhead built is now owned by the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company and occupied as a dwelling, although almost a century since its erec­ tion. In the days of "stage coaches" he ran the first line of stages on the Northern Turnpike through New Alex­ andria to Pittsburgh. Major James Moorhead was born in Adams County, Pa., and came to New Alexan­ dria in 1811 and represented the County in several ses­ sions of the State Legislature. Children of James and Elizabeth Craig Moorhead : 1. Sarah Moorhead, born March 2, 1816, died Sep­ tember -, 1851. Married William Campbell. Two children: (a) Elizabeth -Campbell, married first James Thompson, second Wilson Lewis, of New Alexandria, Pa. (b) James Moorhead Campbell, was a soldier in the Civil war. Married -----.

VI. l\1aria Craig, born August 19, 1802, died Sep­ tember 17, 1855. "One of the excellent of the earth", universally esteemed by her acquaintances. The com- -57- panion of her aged mother in her closing years, surviv­ ing her less than two years. VIL Margaret Campbell Craig, born January 2, 1805, died January 20, 1899, aged ninety-four years. An early marriage proved miserable, and after a few years, when on the verge of insanity, she returned to her father's house. There were then no laws as we have now for the protection of the property rights of mar­ ried women, and about two years after her return, she, by her next friend-her father-sued for and obtained the legal annulling of the bond that would have bound her to a life of misery and poverty. She then resumed her father's name, and was never afterwards known by any other. It was the first case of the kind that had come before the Court of Westmoreland County and at­ tracted much attention. She posssessed many admirable traits of character; intellectually a remarkable woman, a lover of good liter­ ature am:t especially fond of poetry. She had a retentive memory to extreme old age, frequently repeating verse after verse of her favorite poets and favorite passages of scripture. Was much interested in the history of her family-a reliable authority in life, and "in death she yet speaketh", for much that she wrote and narrated ha.is been preserved. The Phoebe Bayard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Greensburg, Pa., made her an honorary member of their Chapter; later proved her eligibility to membership in the National D. A. R., and May 24, 1898, she was admitted to membership in the National D. A. R., in connection with the Phoebe Bayard Chapter, on account of the services of her grandfather, Samuel Craig, and her father, Alexander Craig, in the war of the Revolution. Shortly after, as a "Real Daugh­ ter", she was presented with a "gold spoon" by the Na­ tional D. A. R. through the Phoebe Bayard Chapter. -58- She was also a member of the "Scotch Irish Society of America." Jane Elizabeth, only child of Mrs. Margaret C. Craig, wais born June 7, 1825, died January 2, 1906, when in her eighty-first year. Married Josiah Moorhead Craig, a half cousin of her mother, November 14, 1843. One child, Jane Maria Craig, born November 6, 1848, lives at New Alexandria, Pa. VIII. Jane C. Craig, born February 24, 1808, died July 3, 1831. CHAPTER V. Samuel Craig, Jr., and Descendants.

Samuel, third son of Samuel and Elizabeth Mc­ Donald Craig, was born in New Jersey about 1757. He served in the Revolution and in 1781 was First Lieu­ enant in the Company of Captain Robert Orr in the dis­ astrous Lochrey expedition in which all our soldiers were either killed or taken prisoner by the Indians. Hassler in his "Old Westmoreland" says these Indians were under the command of Joseph Brant, the famous war chief of the Mohawks, with a large band of Iroquois, Shawnees and Wyandotts, and that George Girty, a brother of Simon, commanded some of these Indians.

Samuel Craig", applied for a pension May 20, 1839. She was then 73 years old. Pension allowed for a period of 1 yr. and 5 mons. service as Lieutenant; part time under Capt. Orr and Col. Lochrey. Elizabeth Shields and Lieutenant Samuel Craig were married April-=-, 1784, by Rev. James Power. Samuel Craig's brother-in-law, John Shields, swore that Craig marched out August, 1781, and did not return to the settlement until about Christmas, 1782. His wife Elizabeth said he died August 28, 1808. Ezekiel Lewis testified-"In 1781 his Company with others under Lochrey met in a place of rendezvous at Col. Carnahan's in Westmoreland County, Pa." "The regiment or detachment under command of said Loch­ rey marched from said Carnahan's for the Indian coun­ try· in the month of August, 1781. Among the troops in said detachment was a company commanded by Cap­ tain Robert Orr, whose Lieutenant was Samuel Craig. The said detachment or command marched to the Ohio . -60- at Sillsburgh where we embarked including the said Lieutenant Samuel Craig and proceeded down the river in boats till near the mouth of the Big Miami River, at which place, when we were about to land to cook our breakfast about 10 o'clock of the 24th day of August, 1781, and while we were kindling fires on the bank, the Indians who were concealed in the woods on the bank above us, commenced an attack upon us and killed about forty-two and took the remainder prisoners, no one escaping to tell the news. Among the prisoners was Lieutenant Craig, whom I did not see after the prison­ ers were parted among the different tribes until we met in Detroit, which deponent thinks was about the last of October in the same year, when the Indians sold u,s to the British at the price, as this deponent understood, of ten gallons of rum each, or the equivalent in other articles. This deponent returned home July 17, 1782, being detained until that time as a prisoner in Canada, and deponent does not know when Lieut. Samuel Craig returned except from report. Deponent made his escape from captivity with four others before he was exchanged or discharged, and in company with his comrades came home through the wilderness." Some incidents of Lieutenant Samuel Craig's cap­ tivity have been preserved in the writings of his niece, Mrs. Margaret C. Craig. Once when crossing a river the Indians threw him out of a canoe, intending to drown him, but he was an expert swimmer, and re­ peatdly tried to get into the canoe, while they as often pushed him into the water, trying to keep him under it •with their paddles. At length, when his strengh was almost exhausted, one of the Indians claimed him as hi,s prisoner and took him into the canoe. He was of a cheerful disposition, fond of singing, and it is believed that the Indians were so much pleased with his singing that on one occasion his vocal powers saved his life; this was a time when they had a number -61- of pr~soner,s whom they ordered to sit on a log, and they painted their faces black, which indicated their doom. At this trying time Lieut. Craig retained his self com­ mand, raised his voice and sang loud and clear. While he sang the Indians stepped behind the prisoners and killed all except him; proving that "Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast." Sometimes both Indians and captive were almost starved ; once they found a small lot of potatoes, which they dug and put into a sack, and that night when the Indians were sleeping, he arose--at the risk of his life­ and ate of the raw potatoes, which he thought the most delicious feast he had ever enjoyed. At another time they found the head of a dead wolf, which was not in good condition for culinary purposes, but they made · soup of it, and all partook. The Indians regarded Lieu­ tenant Craig ais a great curiosity because of his silvery gray hair, as he was prematurely gray. As previously stated, Samuel Craig married Eliza­ beth Shields in April 1784. She was a daughter of Col­ onel John Shields, who came from Adams County, Pa., in 1766, and settled on a farm west of the Loyalhanna in what is now W esmoreland County, Pa., and was a prom­ inent man in his community both before and after the Revolution. It is said on reliable authority that Samuel Craig, Jr., at one time owned one thousand acres of land in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, Pa., part of which are the farms of Mrs. Brinker, the Rugh Heirs and Wm. Patterson. He lived for a time on ·the present Brinker farm, and as he was a "fuller" by trade, built a "fulling mill" on the "run" which flows through that farm to the Loyalhanna. More than a hundred years ago there was a,_ terrible flood in the Loyalhanna called the "Pumpkin flood" by the early residents, and this fulling mill with all its content,s was swept away and weeks afterward webs of cloth were found in a number --62- of places along the banks of the Loyalhanna. After this disaster he moved to the farm in Unity Township where his great grandchildren, Edward S. and Elizabeth S. Craig, now live and built a fulling mill directly opposite the ugrist mill" built by his half brother Joseph Craig. Samuel Craig, Jr., died on August 28, 1808, from hemorrhage, after the extraction of a tooth, and was in­ terred in Congruity Cemetery.

CHAPTER VII Elizabeth Craig Thom and Descendants.

Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Mc­ Donald Craig, is said to have been born in 1757, and as that date is also claimed for the birth of her brother Samuel by his descendants, we conclude that they must have been twins. It is a family tradition that Elizabeth was so small at birth, that (as it was expressed) they could put her into a quart pot and close the lid. She died June 11, 1826. Married Joseph Thom, who was born in 1743 and died November 23, 1829. Joseph Thom came from Ireland to America in 1773. Served in the War of the Revolution and is mentioned in the Archives of Pennsylvania. Settled in Westmoreland County, Pa., near New Alexandria, went later to Scrubgrass Creek, Armstrong County, Pa., later to the mouth of the Clarion River, and finally to Jefferson County, Indiana. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Thom had a family of ten chil­ dren: 1. Jane Thom, born. February 20, 1780, died when over ninety years of age at the home of her daughter Margaret in the West. Married Robert Cathcart. The following extract from a history of the family written by John Craig Hill, a grandson of Captain John Craig, of Freeport, Pa., is of interest: "A nephew of grand­ mother's, Robert Cathcart, was taken by grandfather, when a boy, and raised. When he came of age, he mar­ ried Jane Thorn, a niece of grandfather's. Grandfather gave him a farm in the ea,stern part of Armstrong County. At that time there were few settlers in that vicinity and plenty of wolves. They had a flock of sheep and had to be very careful to keep the wolves -73- from getting at them. On one occasion when Mr. Cath­ cart was away the wolves got after the sheep, and as Mrs. Cathcart opened the door to try and scare them away, the sheep all ran into the house, and she just got the door closed in time to keep the wolves from follow­ ing. They kept howling around the cabin, and some tried to get in at the window, but these were met by shovels of hot coals. Mrs. Cathcart had to stay up all night, but in the morning the wolves left." It is recorded of Mrs. Jane Thom Cathcart that "she was a womon of beautiful spirit." Mr. and Mrs. Cathcart were the parents of fourteen children, the correct order of birth unknown : 1. James Cathcart. No further information. 2. Josiah Cathcart, died young. 3. John Cathcart, born --, died 18?5. Married Mary Brown. Eleven children, correct order of birth unknown.

Health again failing, they returned to America where they engaged in missionary work in one of the "feud centers" of Kentucky, and later in Oregon.

Dr. Postlethwaite. of Greensburg. many years afterward at­ tended her when she was suffering partly from the blows upon her skull which had been inflicted by the blunt end of a tomahawk. After the capture of his father by the Indians, Andrew Craig became owner of the land in Derry town­ ship now owned by J.C. Caldwell and David J\1cKowen, as he was given that part of the paternal -inheritance.

CHAPTER X. Jane Craig Wallace and Descendants.

Jane, oldest daughter of Samuel and Jane Boyd Craig, was born in or near 1767, and died in Augu.st, 1833. Married Peter Wallace, November, 1786. It was an elopement when preparations had been completed for her marriage to Alexander Clark, a brother of Mr.-s. Alexander Craig, whom her mother was desirous she should marry. But Jane preferred Peter Wallace, and helped by her younger brothers, slipped away in com­ pany of her youngest brother William, while "Joe" galloped over the Chestnut Ridge to Ligonier Valley for "Squire Hendricks", who hastened to the appointed place and "tied the knot." Her mother was much dis­ pleased and said: "1\1y foolish Jane threw herself away on that Pete Wallace." It has been said that in thi,s case it was the "hand­ somer man" that was deserted, and also that he bore his disappointment with fortitude, for when the news reached him and the assembled guests, he raised his wine glass and drank "Lo"ng life and prosperity to Wallace's happy bride," and later married Mary, daughter of William Todd, one of the men prominent in early Westmoreland. Peter Wallace was a son of Richard Wallace, who came to the "Derry Settlement" in 1763, and became an extensive land owner and a great Indian fighter. One of the earliest forts in this region was "vVallace's Fort", about one and a half miles from the present Blairsville, Pa., and it was the scene of a number of hard fought battles with the Indians. Wallace's mill, near this fort, is said to have been -99- the fir,st mill west of the Alleghenies, and men traveiled on horseback along the forest paths great distances to have a sack of corn ground at this mill. Richard Wallace was Quarter Master in the dis­ astrous Lochrey expedition in August, 1781, when all our soldiers were either killed or captured by the Indians. Note :-The following· is from the article on Wal­ lace's Fort in Volume II Forts of Pennsylvania: "In a memorial directed to President Moore, endorsed July 3, 1782, subscribed by Isaac Anderson, Lieut. of Captain Shearer's Company of Rangers, and Richard Wallace, late Quartermaster to Col. Lochry, it was represented that "they had the misfortune to be made prisoners by the Indians on August 24th last and carried to Montreal, and there kept in close confinement till the 26th May last, when they were so fortunate as to make their escape, and after a long and fatiguing march through the wilderness, they got to the city (Philadelphia) yesterday at 3 o'clock." Some time after his return home Richard Wallace, with other adventurous spirits, went on an expedition to Ohio and fell into the hands of the Indians and his fate was never definitely known by his family. The home of Peter Wallace and his young bride was a one story log cabin having two rooms, but after some years he erected a stone house. A few years after their marriage they united with the Presbyterian church of "Old Salem" in Derry Town­ ship, near their home, and shortly after Peter Wallace was elected a ruling elder and held the office until his death in 1839. He was elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania in 1811 and continued to hold the office by various elec­ tions for eleven years. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wallace: I.-Jane Wallace, born September 1787, died --. Married William Barnett about 1804.

Agnes (Nancy) Craig, daughter of Samuel and Jane Boyd Craig, born February 15, 1773, died July 30, 1817. In 1792 married Samuel Moorhead, a son of William and Elizabeth Barnett Moorhead, of whom mention is made in Chapter XI, Joseph Craig and Descendants, as they were the parents of Mrs. Joseph Craig. Samuel Moorhead was born March 20, 1769 in the Cumberland Valley and died March 1, 1853. Lived in Derry Town­ ship, Westmoreland County, Penna. The ~urial place of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Moorhead is Old Salem grave yard in Derry Township. Samuel Moorhead was a tanner by trade and an active energetic business man who accumulated so much property that after his death each of his ten or eleven children who survived him inherited a farm. He was reputed to keep money in his house and once narrowly escaped being robbed and perhaps murdered, but a young man in the house succeeded in preventing the robbers gaining an entrance. After this, a grandson (who remembers seeing the place when a boy) says, he had so many weapons of defense that his house had the appearance of an arsenal. An anecdote is related of him connected with his dislike of a young man who was with him learning the tanning trade. Knowing that a young Irishman in his employ admired a red silk handkerchief that he owned, he offered it to him as a reward if he would start a quar­ rel with John Larimer and give him a complete beating. The Iri,shman promised; Samuel Moorhead hid to wit­ ness the gratifying sight; but "The best laid schemes of _'. 124-- mice and men Gang aft aglee", for it was the Irishman that received the beating. Whether the handkerchief was given when he failed to fulfill his contract we are not told. Of Mrs. Moorhead the story has come to us that shows she was a woman of spirit. Once when she wais expecting company and on "hospitable thoughts intent", her husband objected to having a chicken killed, remind­ ing her of the price for which it could be sold, but in­ stead of having the desired effect she killed two. She was a Craig. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Moorhead were eleven in number: !.-William Moorhead, died when a young man, studying for the ministry.
