James Craig (Sr) was born March 6, 1788 / 89 in Scotland and I do suspect his father was John Craig. James married Helen FREW about 1810 inKilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland. Helen (Ellen) was born or baptised on June 21, 1785 in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland and the daughter of Robert and Jane (Armour) Frew. James and Helen came to Ontario, Canada about 1814 - 1818 and settled in Charlottenburgh, Glengarry County, Ontario.
James died April 26, 1858 in Glen Walter, Glengarry, Ontario and Helen
died January 4, 1860 in Summerstown, Glengarry County, Ontario. They are both buried at the Salem United Church Cemetery in Summerstown, Ontario.
