    Gravesite Details
    Stone was present and readable on May 16, 1954. At a careful, professional site examination and inventory in 1996, the Craighead grave marker was no longer present; it was missing from the cemetery and the current location remains unknown.

    Margaret was born in 1664, the daughter of a "Scottish Laird". The identity of her surname is unknown, but some observe that Alexander's youngest son, Rev. Thomas Brown Craighead changed his name to Thomas Benton Craighead (see below). This leads to some speculation that Margaret may have been the daughter of Laird Benton (a known Scottish Laird). Other observers have suggested that she may have been Margaret Holmes Wallace. She died in 1738, and is buried in an "almost inaccesible graveyard" on the top of Polly Drummond Hill, White Clay Creek Presbyterian Church, DE.
