Notes

Matilda Craig accompanied her brothers to America and to the farm in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. Their family farm was listed in the name of J. Craig in 1873, and she was the third child of her parents. She, her mother and siblings arrived in the Port of New York July 3, 1849, on the S.S. Chenango, from Belfast, Ireland. Older brothers were already settled in the U.S., and their father William is said to have been refused a visa to come to the U.S. because of a severe back injury. Nancy, the mother, who came in 1849 is thought to be the mother of only the younger children. The mother of Seth, born 1836, is known to have been Mary Wilson, who had died previous to 1849.
