Con. JOHN CRAIG .- In the latter part of the seventeenth century there emigrated from Ireland the ancestors of Col. Thomas Craig, the great-great- grandfather of the subject of this sketch, who in the year 1728, together with his sister, Jane, who married John Boyd, left Philadelphia for the Forks of the Delaware, locating in what was afterward known as Craig's, or the Irish Settlement, then in Bucks County, since Northampton. This tract of land was owned by William Penn, after whose death it came into the possession of his son, Thomas. We find Col. Thomas Craig's name upon the roll of the Synod of Philadel- phia for the first time in 1731, as Elder Thomas Craig; as this was the year in which the Presby- terian Church was organized in that settlement, we have reason to believe that he was the original elder, proving an earnest and conseientious worker in that church during his lifetime. His son, Thomas, was but a lad when his father came to this place. He employed his time until his maturity in assisting him in elearing the land and tilling the soil, after which he engaged in farming for himself. In 1740
was born his son, Thomas Craig, who at the breaking ont of the Pennamite war, in 1771-72, was made a lieutenant in the Pennsylvania militia, making an honorable record. When the Revolutionary war broke ont he took an active part for the Rebellion, and was commissioned captain on Jan. 5, 1776, and attached to Col. St. Clair's Pennsylvania battalion. He participated in the Canadian campaign, and after several engagements was promoted to the rank of major in the following September. In the summer of 1777 he was appointed colonel of the Third Penn- sylvania Regiment; was in New Jersey in Gen. Poor's brigade, under command of Gen. Washington, and was subsequently in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown. Mrs. Lydia Darrach, of Philadel- phia, at whose house Gen. Howe made his headquar- ters, secretly learning of the general's intended attack on Washington's army, which was camped at White Marsh, fourteen miles from the city, conveyed the information through Col. Craig, so that our army was saved from a surprise and slaughtering attack. Hle remained with the army at Valley Forge, where on April 12, 1778, he addressed a letter, strongly appeal- ing for clothing, showing the destitute condition of the soldiers in this respect.
