Sarah (Sally) Craig Singleton was the daughter of Toliver Craig, Sr. (1704 -1799) and Mary Hawkins Craig (1716 – 1804). Sally was born about 1748 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and she died April 26, 1834 in Jessamine County, Kentucky. Sally married Manoah Nathaniel Hawkins Singleton (1740 - 1818) on January 10, 1765, and she is buried with her husband on the Singleton (now Davis) farm, near Keene, in Jessamine County, Kentucky. Sally and Manoah had a large family of thirteen children, Jackonia, Elizabeth, Susannah, Sarah, Mason, Mary, Hannah, Anna, Mary, Jane, Martha, Joannah and Susan. Sarah (Sally) Craig accompanied her mother Mary (Polly) Hawkins Craig in leaving the protection of Bryan’s Station, Kentucky to carry in the daily water supply from a nearby spring under the muskets of the hostile Canadian Rangers and Wyandot Indians who were laying siege to the Station in August of 1782. For this patriotic service, Sarah (Sally) Craig Singleton is listed as a NSDAR Ancestor (A104471). Her mother, Mary (Polly) Hawkins Craig, also is listed as a NSSAR Patriot (P-177840) and a NSDAR Ancestor (A027259) for her role in the defense of Bryan’s Station. Sally’s husband, Manoah Singleton was a Lieutenant with the Continental Line in the American Revolutionary War, and he is a NSDAR Ancestor (A104463), as well as a NSSAR Patriot (P-290510).
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
