Materials pertaining to the journal of Rev. John Craig, a Presbyterian minister from Dunagor (Donegore), County Antrim, who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1734, and sent thereafter to Virginia in 1737.
The typed transcript text is compiled from transcripts of two portions of the text created by Professor Kerby A. Miller, plus transcripts of pages taken from William Henry Foote's Sketches of Virginia, Historical and Biographical, Vol. II (1855), pp. 28-33. Also present are reproductions of parts of the journal.
The remainder of the series is composed of photocopied excerpts of published histories of Augusta County, Virginia, a copy of Lillian Kennerly Craig’s 1963 book Reverend John Craig, 1709 – 1774, His Descendants and Allied Families, and Howard Wilson McKnight’s 1953 book The Tinkling Spring, Headwater of Freedom: A Study of the Church and Her People, 1732-1952 which quotes from Craig’s autobiography.
