Patt, there is pretty good evidence that the Robert who m. Grizzell was not the son of William and Janet, immigrants. Robert and Grizell patented land in Beverly manner away from the other Robert Craig and his brother James. Deed to patented land was delivered to Grizell, indicating Robert
had died, which was subsequently substantiated by deed from Grizell's son to her other son. One was in Charlotte County and the other in TN. The Robert Craig who is believed to be the son of William and Janet died much later and there is plenty of evidence about his children. How have you heard that the last name of Grizzel was CRAWFORD? Certainly makes sense because Crawfords lived in vicinity of Robert and Grizzell. Am trying to sort this out, but absolute proof may not be available, so appreciate anything you have.

also with reference to Frances Craig, dau of Robert:
"I know that there have been various reports that her parents are Robert and Grizell Craig of Augusta Co., but NOT the same Robert Craig who died in 1788. For many, many years, at least 50 genealogists thought this Robert to be family member of the Craigs who descended from immigrants William and Janet. This has since been disproven; however very little is know by the William-Janet descendents about the Robert who married Grizell and lived in the same vicinity, though a couple miles west. They came to VA shortly before 1741. One source has told me that he believes my Robert was born in Ireland and his father's name is Alexander and he had two other sons, Samuel and John. My Robert was born in 1713 and died in 1749."
