General Notes: Husband - Joseph Craig


He became the owner of the part of his father's land. He built a large stone house on this farm on the same site as the later brick house, in which he and his family lived. He built a grist mill which was one of the early mills on the Loyalhanna and known as Craig's mill, and he was also one of the company of three men who built the first bridge across the Loyalhanna at New Alexandria.
