• Notes

  Andrew Craig, the ancestor of the Craig family of Farmington, was of Scottish birth. He was one of the brave men who left their native country to find a home in the north of Ireland during the troublous period of its later history. In 1725, with his wife, Jenett Todd, and young family, he left Scotland, and after a brief residence of five years in Ireland, embarked for America, arriving in Boston Feb 28, 1730. Soon after he removed to Wrentham, Mass. John, son of Andrew, was born in Scotland, October, 1721, and came with his parents to this country. He married Mary Skinner and spent his life in Wrentham, where he died, Apr 27, 1803, and his wife, June 18, 1788. Among their children were Elias Craig, who settled in Augusta, and Enoch Craig, who was among the pioneers of Farmington. [2]
