General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Creigh

---

He was educated at Dickinson College, graduating in 1792, studied medicine with Dr. Samuel McCoskry, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and graduated an M. D. from the University of Pennsylvania. In 1795 he located at Pittsburgh, but in 1799 removed to Landisburg, Perry County, Pennsylvania, where he continued until 1819, when he returned to Carlisle, where he passed the remainder of his life. In the War of 1812-14 he enrolled a company which was accepted by the Governor. From 1827 to 1833 he was a trustee of Dickinson College and for many years was a trustee of the Presbyterian church. As a physician he ranked among the first in his profession, and had a large and laborious practice. Throughout his medical life he regarded the honor and virtue of the medical profession as of the highest character, and, as far as his influence went, he condemned every attempt to lower the status of the profession.
