GEDCOM Note

According to family tradition William and Margaret sailed from Ireland on 5/4/1729 aboard the ship 'George & Ann' and arrived in what is now New Castle, Delaware on 9/9/1729

According to family legend, William and Margaret met aboard the ship 'George & Anne' on the way to America, fell in love and were married by the ship's captain. Very romantic but quite probably not true. Research indicates that the Craig's, Logan's, Blackwood's, Kirkland's etc. were probably closely linked all the way back to Scotland and that William and Margaret were married in Scotland or Ireland shortly after Geoge Long's death and at least two, maybe four, of their children were born there. Reverend David I. Craig's 'History of New Hope Church', revised 1891, bears out this research as it is his contention also, that their marriage took place in Scotland and that at least the first two children were born either there or possibly in Ireland.
