I am uncertain how the 200 acres were granted. I do have a copy of the land grant to confirm, as well as the legal description of the property at that time.





This is an older post, so hopefully this gives it a little revival.

We do NOT know when or where Rhoda and James were born or married. James applied for and received land in Long Cane in 1771, so the guess is that he was then 21 and then got married.

I am a direct descendant of James and Rhoda Craig. It was my understanding, from correspondence with Marion Stark Craig after the publication of his book, that James was possibly born in County Monaghan, Ireland.

I have also noted in this discussion thread that James and Rhoda (Niblock/Niblick) Craig were born in South Carolina. The county is named as Abberville, but is more correctly spelled Abbeville. This is the location of the 200 acre land grant to James from King George III, and his residence from 1771 until his death on Feb. 01, 1781.

Any supporting information to establish the origins of James Craig would be greatly appreciated.
