General Notes: Husband - Elder Thomas Craig

---

Thomas Craig, the elder, located in the "Irish Settlement", Allen township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, as early as 1728.

In his will of date November 25, 1772, proved June 6, 1779, he bequeaths his estate to his daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, and his son William's children by name, except a special legacy of £17 10s. to Thomas Craig, "son of my brother, Daniel Craig." A pretty clear indication that Thomas Craig, the elder, had no living children, and no other descendants than William's children. He appoints "his brother-in-law, Richard Walker, Esq.," in connection with Arthur Lattimore and John Ralston, his executors.
