From 1890's sketch of son Alex K. Craig in a county History:
Hugh Craig ...... was born in 1795, in Canton township, this county, where, and in
Buffalo township, his boyhood and youth were passed, the subscription schools of the locality providing him with such mental pabulum as those early days afforded. He was a great reader, however, and was well posted in general topics. In 1821 he was married to Hannah Henderson, and they made their home on the old Craig farm until the days of their deaths.
Children born to them were Martha (Mrs. J. W. Darby), John H., Margaret A., Alex K. , Hugh K., Joseph F., William F., Hanna R. (Mrs. Joseph McGuffin) and Thomas B.
(Hugh Craig) died November 18, 1854, (his wife Hannah) November 24, 1856. Mr. Craig was a Jeffersonian Democrat, and held several prominent offices in both township and county. He was a justice of peace for years, and also school director; in 1841 he was elected county commissioner, serving three years. In 1852 he was elected a member of the State Legislature, and served one session.
He was a recognized leader in his party, and was a strong supporter of the free school system. One of the earliest members of the Presbyterian Church at Claysville, he was a substantial supporter of the same, and for several years an elder.
