General Notes: Husband - Hugh Craig


He was born in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and his boyhood and youth were passed there and in Buffalo township, the subscription schools of the locality provided him with such mental pabulum as those early days afforded. He was a great reader, however, and was well posted on general topics. He married and they made their home on the old Craig farm until the day of their deaths.
He was a Jeffersonian Democrat, and held several prominent offices in both township and county. He was a justice of peace for years, and also school director; in 1841 he was elected county commissioner, serving three years. In 1852 he was elected a member of the State Legislature, and served one session. He was a recognized leader in his party, and was a strong supporter of the free school system. One of the earliest members of the Presbyterian Church at Claysville, he was a substantial supporter of the church, and for several years was an elder.
