General Notes: Husband - James Boggs Craig

---

He was reared in the Presbyterian Church, and was always a firm adherent of that faith. His political support was given the Democracy; for thirteen years he served as constable in his township.

He was born on the homestead farm, near Grove City, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where his ancestors had been among the pioneers. The Craig family was of Scottish origin and its members were staunch Presbyterians. J. Boggs Craig was a farmer and stockman of Grove City, Pennsylvania, an extensive purchaser of cattle in the days preceding the railways, when it was the prevailing custom to drive the animals over land to the eastern markets.
