    Rev. Thomas Craighead was pastor of Big Spring Church in 1738. Near the close of Apr 1739, during a communion season at the Big Spring Church, when having preached until quite exhausted, he waved his hand, being unable to pronounce the benediction, and exclaimed, "Farewell, farewell," sank down and expired in the pulpit. He was buried beneath the pulpit of which he died where the church now stands.
