General Notes: Husband - John Craig

---

In company with some friends, he made an exploring trip through the Cumberland Valley. While near McDowell's Mill, afterward Bridgeport, they were captured by nine Delaware Indians, but made their escape. This adventure influenced him to settle in the older and less frontier-like county of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and the following year he established his tannery at Campbellstown, Londonderry township, where he lived until his death. He was a farmer as well as tanner and currier, and owned considerable real estate. During the Revolution he was an earnest patriot, and served as a private in Capt. John Boyd's company of the "Flying Camp," in the New Jersey campaign in the summer of 1776. He was an influential member of the Derry Presbyterian Church, being a trustee and afterward a ruling elder.
