<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV>I'd be interested in the info on William Craig as I have a few of that particular Craig (descended from Robert Thomas Craig b. abt. 1719 No. Ireland) branch from Greenbrier Co. and Monroe Co., (W)VA married into my Nickell branch of the family from there also circa 1790s. Nickell's emigrated west to Iowa by 1840 then NE by 1869 and settled in Portland before 1880 then eventually to Lake Creek, Jackson Co., OR by 1900's.</DIV>
<DIV> A lot of that WVA Craig family and Nickell family emigrated to Montgomery Co., KY too. </DIV>

<DIV>Hello Joseph</DIV>
<DIV>A.H. was a special agent to the Indians, I have the books and Documents (Copies) On that, William Craig was A Mountain Man, he traveled with Joe Meek, Robert Newell, Kit Carson, Joseph Walker, have all the books that he is in.</DIV>
<DIV>One fact I just found this past year was Joe Meek and Robert Newell their wive's were sister's of Wiilliam's wife Pah Tis Sah or Isabel as she was called by the Fur Trappers, Craig was also the first postmaster of Walla Walla.</DIV>
<DIV>A.H. Robie and I have his Probate records owned most of what is now Downtown Boise Id., and 43600 acres of the Malhuer area (Diamond) and a number of Sawmills, he built the first sawmill in Lewiston, and Boise, Robie Creek in the Boise Nat. Forest is named for him as that is where he had a sawmill, as I have mentioned his parents are the real hang up.</DIV>
<DIV>William Craig is his real Name he came from Greenbrier Virginia now West virginia, left their in 1825 and came into what became Oregon Territory in 1829, there are a couple of stories about why he left Virginia, a niece of mine has done a lot of research on his family but does not have it on computer and I have been trying to get her to send it to me, but she has it all packed away and planning on moving before long, the 1855 treaty with the Nez Perce has his donation land claim wrote up in it (Article 10).</DIV>
<DIV>William and Pah Tis Sah are Buried at the Jacques Spur Cemetery in Idaho the cemetery was part of Williams Land Claim and in fact most of the cemetery is relatives, I was up there last year and cleaned it up some hope to go again this year but health may not let me.</DIV>

(I have seen Les' subsequent info). I did not find anything about AH Robie working for Palmer, but he may well have. Palmer was appointed by Abernathy, Oregon Territorial Governor, in early 1849 as Indian agent. He was already in Oregon at that time. II Stevens came from Washington (DC) in 1853, when he was appointed first territorial governor of the new Washington Territory. That position also carried the assignment as Director of Indian Affairs for the Washington Territory. Stevens tended to "fudge" his territorial lines so often his troops and staff managed to zig-zag back and forth across the Oregon boarder.<BR><BR>In 1855 Wm Craig was an officer in the Washington Volunteers. In 1856 Stevens sent AH Robie to take a wagon train of supplies to the "freindly" Nez Perez. Stevens was hoping to rally them into fighting along side the volunteers against the non-treaty Nez Perez. Craig headed a detatchment of volunteers, and along with Spotted Eagle and some of his men, served as escort. The Indians were just a bit miffed at Stevens so they turned the wagon train away, but allowed Craig to stay. As you said, he was "married into the Nez Perez family". His father-in-law was Old James. Craig originally came West as a mountain man. I don't know any more about him than that, and many of those mountain men were rather annonymous about their past. I did come across one vague referrence once that William Craig may have been an assumed name. As I say, it was pretty vague so I put it under the catagory of speculation.<BR><BR><BR><PRE class=moz-signature cols="70"></PRE><BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviate href="mailto:glenkc7mbm@comcast.net" d>glenkc7mbm@comcast.net</A> wrote:

<DIV>Joseph</DIV>
<DIV>My Great Grandfather's name was Albert Hugh Robie.</DIV>
<DIV>He was appointed special Indian agent by Joel Palmer on his arrival in Oregon, Worked in the Walla Walla Wa.and Lapwai Id. areas Married the Daughter of William Craig My Grt. grt. Grandfather who was and Interpeter for Issac Stevens in his treaty councils, he was also married to Pah Tis Sah the daughter of Chief James of the Nez Perce, Craig was the only white man allowed a Donation land claim on the Nez Perce Reservation and it is in the 1855 Treaty with the Nez Perce.</DIV>
<DIV>Albert moved to the Boise Idaho area about 1860 and is listed as one of the founding fathers of Boise, he also was one of the first cattlemen in Eastern Oregon, The diamond Craters Area of Malhuer is named for the cattle brand he and his partner had, he was selling out to Pete French and the French Glenn Empire when he died at the start of the Bannock War.</DIV>
<DIV>But we have never found out who his parents are and have postings on Ny, Nh, and Mass. roots web boards but no response so far.</DIV>
