This is a timeline of the lives of Agnes Hart and her husband, Rev. Robert Craighead. Theirs was a story filled with political and religious violence. Agnes knew about suffering as her father had been imprisoned years for supporting the Reformation. She married Robert who, also as a reverend, held the same views with the same integrity as his father-in-law. Her life, like her mother's, was one of fearing for the safety of her family--especially her husband's. As with most narratives about women in history, one must interpret and create Agnes' story within the records of her husband.

The following facts came, with appreciation, from the work of Janet and Robert Wolfe's Genealogy website.
