General Notes: Husband - John S. Craig
In 1817 he commenced work in Huston's old forge, and soon took the management of it. Three years later he went to Dunbar Creek, where for a year he had the supervision of a rolling-mill, also the property of Joseph Huston. As Mr. Huston sold the rolling-mill to Isaac Meason, John Craig returned to the old forge, and remained until he was twenty-two years of age. He then spent two years at Redstone Furnace, and in 1827 purchased a farm, where Robert Huston later lived. Leaving that, he spent a few years in Menallen township, Fayette County, and in the West, after which he returned to Union township, and in 1850 purchased a farm in North Union township.
