"The first court session of Montgomery Co. was held at the home of James Craig on May 1, 1790 at which time the court made plans to erect the public buildings on the land of James Craig, Esq. at the Mile Branch although the lands of Samuel Kirby and Christina Crewey were considered as alternatives. In fact, the petition filed in the House of Delegates on Oct. 15, 1792 suggests that the Christina Walters (also known as Crewey) as well as James Craig gave the lands for the public buildings and the town. The name of the town was left blank in the petition."
