I’ve been playing around with a cool website Geni this afternoon. It’s a family tree site that can let other members of your family contribute. I was adding some of my wife’s ancestors when I made a cool discovery. I knew she had a famous uncle named Daniel but I didn’t realize she had another uncle who was a famous Baptist preacher. I knew the name sounded familiar, but it took me a while to realize that it wasn’t his preaching that made Elijah Craig famous.
Wow! We may be some sort of distant cousin-in-laws. In the Book, The Crum Family in America, My great-grandmother was always proud to point out Daniel Boone and his presence in her family. I forget now how it all plays out, but I do remember at some point taking the book to school and doing some sort of show and tell. Needless to say, none of my friends were too impressed. They would have been more impressed if I was related to Elijah Craig!
