General Notes: Husband - Joseph Craig


He was born on Saw Mill Run, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and was about ten years old when his parents moved to Mahoning Township, Lawrence County, where his father bought 112 acres of land.
He grew to manhood in Mahoning Township, and his boyhood was spent in attending the district schools and in helping on the farm.
After marriage he lived on a rented farm in Perry Township for some eighteen months, and then moved to North Beaver Township and for the next thirteen years rented and lived on the old Mooney farm. He then began to buy his own farm, purchasing his first thirty acres from William Lusk and subsequently adding other tracts by three succeeding purchases until he owned 200 acres of land all in one body. He retained 100 acres, which was under the management of his youngest son, and he deeded to his eldest son the other 100 acres.

He resided on a farm of 100 acres which was situated about one and one-half miles north of Mount Jackson, on the Edenburg-Mount Jackson road, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.
