General Notes: Husband - Capt. William Craig
He was a captain in the Associated Regiment of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1747-48 (Pa. Archives, 2d ser., Vol. ii., p. 505.) He was a son of Thomas Craig, the elder, and died before 1772, as the former in his will of date November 25, 1772, proved June 6, 1779, 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.
