Notes

The following comes from the roots web source:

Manoah and Sally Singleton are supposed to be buried in a cemetery marked only with field stones in a farm south west of the corner of Harrodsburg Road and Catnip Hill Road, which is in northern Jessamine County, Kentucky. The farm was once owned by "Fount Baker." Much of my Singleton data came from Hazel White, later she wrote me that she didn't do Singleton's any more, and that she gave her notes to Leonard Singleton, Box 23, Senecaville, Ohio 43780 {1990}

"Some show Manoah being born as early as 1740 in Orange County, Virginia, and passing on as early as September 3, 1818, in Jessamine County, Ky. Manoah dealt with considerable property, some from his father, and in 1806 he and his brother Edmond file suit in Kentucky to recover land willed to them by father Daniel. Eventually he became a wealthy man."

"As we came out, we met with Manoah Singleton (who went, I do not know where) and Philip Drake, who went on by Lex. On our way, we overtook the Bryants."

"Polly Hawkins Craig, age about 66. Three of their sons with their families (Capt. John Craig, Toliver Craig, Jr., and Jeremiah Craig), three daughters with their families (Jane Craig Saunders, Elizabeth Craig Cave, Sarah Craig Singleton) were also residents of Bryan Station at the time of the siege. All of these took an active part in the defense of Bryan Station. As there were numerous children in each family mentioned, the name "Craig" is found among the defenders more than any other name. It is claimed by the Craig family history that Polly Hawkins Craig, wife of Toliver Craig, Sr., was the oldest woman in the fort and was the first to offer to go for the water. Craig family tradition also claims that she led the procession to and from the spring.

In 1783 Toliver Craig and his wife moved with their son, Capt. John Craig, to "Craig's Settlement" on Clear Creek (now in Wood-ford County). But ten years later, in 1793, when Capt. John Craig again moved, the old couple, Toliver and Polly Hawkins Craig, remained behind. Two years later, in 1795, Toliver Craig died. In 1804 his wife died. They were buried near their home. No record is found of their graves being located or marked.

Family of Sarah (Sally) Craig Singleton, daughter of Toliver Craig, Sr. and Mary Hawkins Craig-married in Virginia on January 10, 1765 to Manoah Singleton. Sallie Craig Singleton and her husband, Manoah Singleton, are buried on the Singleton (now Davis) farm, near Keene, in jessamine County, Kentucky.
