Alexander Craig was a saddle harness maker and shoemaker born around 1717 who owned slaves and had a wife and eight children. He had relationships with his daughter's husband John Minson Galt, who was a sergeant and business owner, and with John Rollinson and Elkanah Deane. Though initially undecided, Craig seemed to support the patriot side more due to England manufacturing and taxing goods that hurt his business and made it harder to support his family.

6. Alexander Craig, Loyalist or Patriot
Alexander Craig was an undecided but seemed to be
more towards the patriot side. Alexander Craig was
more towards the patriot side because he owned a
business and some of the products he made England
would manufacture and sell. By doing this they would
also make the colonists pay for their own products.
Another thing that he didn't like was the tax on tea and
other products, so paying the tax makes it a little
harder to keep money to keep a family.
