      1775-1803 British Mercantile Claims
      Claims of sundry British creditors, received 3 Oct. 1800 {Page 85-87]:
      Elijah Craig, Culpeper. £10.14.5 due Glasford, Gordon & Co., Fredericksburg Store.
      All the Craigs were relations and removed about the same time to Kentucky. They were residents of Spotsylvania and Orange counties and left this state early in the Revolution, being among the first adventurers to the western world. They left in good circumstances and most of them have improved their estates since they settled in Kentucky. Their first residence was near the town of Lexington in Fayette County. They are characters well known in that country and it would have been an easy matter to find them, even if no particular residence was ascertained.
