Rev. James Craig married a daughter of Col. Nathan Boone.  He was a Hard-Shell Baptist preacher, and preached and taught school in St. Charles for several years.  He baptized, by immersion, in the Missouri river.  The first person that ever received Protestant baptism in St. Charles was a colored woman named Susan Morrison.  Daniel Colgin assisted Mr. Craig to perform the ceremony by wading out into the river and measuring the depth of the water with his cane, singing as he went -- 

"We are going down the river Jordan,
As our Savior went before."
