Was Benjamin Craig with the “Traveling Chuch” led by the Rev. Lewis Craig in 1781? My 5th Great-grandmother, Catherine Hoskins Sanders (1710- 1786) and members of her family were also with the group. Her son Nathaniel (1741 – 1826) remained in Virginia to settle the estate of his father Hugh before coming to Kentucky to live around 1788. Elizabeth Sanders, Catherine’s daughter, and Nathaniel’s sister was also with the Traveling Church and was married to Lewis Craig, son of Taliferro Craig.
