I sent my sister a colored copy of this photo last week. Somehow over the
years she had never seen it even though we research together. She also
noticed the Knox tombstone which meant nothing to me. She forwarded the
following information on the Knoxes and then something more - a battle in
Rowan Co., NC the exact date when Rhoda Niblick Craig's husband James was
killed. We have never been sure if he had been killed in a battle or died
of something else although she was compensated by the government as a widow
of a soldier.

From Judy Driscoll:
Did you notice the Knox tombstone behind the Niblock one? That Mary Knox
looks like
she is the daughter of John Knox 1708-1758 and his wife Jean Gracy
1708-1772. Both born in Scotland, transplanted to Ireland by King of
England. His wife was an Irish
Presbyterian and having seven sons in the Revolution, William, Samuel,
James, Absalom, John, Joseph, Benjamin, AND A DAUGHTER MARY. The son James
is the grandfather of President James Knox Polk. Jean Gracy was the
daughter of
Jean Sinclair, a relative of the mother of John Knox the Reformer. They
came to America about 1740 settling on land that had been granted by Earl
Granville to James Stewart.
This history book also has quite an extensive description of a skirmish
in Rowan Co. Feb. 1-3, 1781 which could very well be the one in which our
James Craig was
killed. I haven't looked up his death date this morning, but wasn't that
when he was killed? Judy
