General Notes: Husband - Isaac Craig
He was the sixth child and eldest son of his parents.
He always took a lively interest in historical matters. The late Dr. Egle said of him: "Few men are deserving of more grateful recognition than Mr. Craig. As author and historian he is an authority on the history of Western Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley, etc".
Mr. Craig's long and useful life spent in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, was devoted to study and research, and he was the author of many historical papers. Though his published historical contributions were numerous and valuable, they alone give no adequate idea of the extent of his researches. He was constantly in correspondence with historical writers all over the country and always ready to serve them by gathering facts, investigating mooted questions, correcting errors and revising proof-sheets of their books.
Bancroft, the historian, writing from Washington on March 12, 1879, said: "My dear Mr. Craig: I never venture to give an opinion to a man who understands the subject inquired about very much better than myself. It is to you, on a question relating to Western Pennsylvania, that I should come as my teacher and my guide".
He was vice-president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, a member of the Chicago Historical Society, and the Virginia Historical Society; and, in right of his grandfather, Major Isaac Craig, was a member of the Society of the Cincinnati and of the Pennsylvania Society of Sons of the Revolution.
He and his wife had ten children.
