Notes for DAVID CRAIG:

Drowned.[Broderbund WFT Vol. 2, Ed. 1, Tree #2147, Date of Import: 28 Mar 1996]

It was reported in "A Historical Sketch of New Hope Church in Orange County, N. C., " by Rev. David I. Craig, 1891, that Samuel Craig's son, David Craig, drowned. No details were given. I later came across a copy of a newspaper article from Pendleton, South Carolina, dated May 8, 1807, that stated, "On Saturday last Mr. David Craig, a young man about 21 years of age from Orange Co., N. C. in attempting to swim his horse across Keowee River ..... was drowned." I feel strongly that the young man who drowned was this David Craig who was a brother of our ancestor, William Craig. MGB
