General Notes: Husband - Dr. Alfred Creigh


He received an academical and classical education at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1830, receiving the degree of A. B., and, in 1833, that of A. M. He began the study of medicine with his father, and assisted him for several years in his profession. Turning his attention to literary pursuits, he published several historical works of value, "Masonry and Anti-Masonry," "History of Knights Templar in Pennsylvania," two volumes, "History of Washington county, Pa.," and, also, a "History of Greene county, Pa." In 1850 the University of Kentucky, at La Grange, conferred upon him the degree of LL. D. For almost fifty years he was prominently identified with the masonic fraternity.
