Hello from Fredericton.
Edward McIsaac, born in 1828, whose father, James, received his original land grant on the Guimac Stream and who later was a lifelong resident and blacksmith in Hartland. The Hartland Oserver was located in the building owned by Edward for many years, right up until year 2000, I think.
I have reason to believe that Edward's mother was Jane Craig of Hartland. Edward may also have a sister, Matilda. Edward and Matilda? were born out of wedlock and Edward was raised by his father and eventual wife, Elizabeth Woodburn. Do you have info on this Jane Craig/James McIsaac situation?

Phil,
My great, great, great, great grandfather was James Craig (Wellington, Edward, Wellington, Samual, Jacob, James). Do you have any information further back than that? I saw a mention once that his father was Jacob. I also saw some mention that James was a member of DeLancey's Brigrade from Queens County NY, it there anything to that?

Hi: I am also related from James Craig UEL, Jacob, Stephen, Israel, Roy, Earl. I have been doing research for quite a few years, and yes James Craig, was a private in 2nd battalion DeLancey's as well as a brother Jacob, who was killed in action October 24 1799. Their father Christopher died just a few months later. Newtown Queens County is based on the fact that in 1777 Jacob and Christopher Craig were forced into the rebel militia at Newtown, along with a lot of other citizens. It is believed that they were fairly new arrivals to America possibly from Scotland (not Ireland)

There are some who say that James had a sister named Mary who was born in New Brunswick that is married William Orser. James is also supposed to have married a woman named Mary who later married William Orser after Mary Craig and James Craig died. Does this fit with your information?
Where does one look for information on Delancey's Brigrade?
