Source argument
Biography combines religious, educational and business activities with later bourbon-origin attribution.
Evidence map
LINK-202, revision 1361747839: full numbered extraction lines 1–57 reviewed, including written reference entries and any tables. These locators identify the reviewed snapshot, not the underlying cited publications.
Lines 17–21: county-name and bourbon-name claims need documentary evidence; an 1874 allusion is not contemporary proof of a 1789 invention. A December 1787 school advertisement opening the following January is not a 1787 opening. Brother Lewis's migration must not be assigned to Elijah. Prosperous slaveholder and died-poor descriptions conflict. Line 25 brand claims and selectors are dated.
No unverified direct quotations promoted. Detailed local critical checkpoint retained alongside the numbered reading file.
Researcher synthesis
Keep Craig's religious and economic life, enslaved labor and later commercial commemoration visible without presenting charred-barrel lore as established invention.
Assessment
Tertiary discovery evidence only. Preserve contradictory and time-dependent claims as open checks, not resolved facts. Images, native preservation and presentation pending. Source-reading completeness does not prove factual accuracy; no History/profile/trial changes.
Completion checklist
Illustration check — September 12, 2026
The small black-and-white head-and-shoulders woodcut was inspected. It is an attributed portrait, not proof of the subject's distilling activities or bourbon invention. The modern bottle photograph could not be retrieved (HTTP 429). Source remains partial.
Successful image downloads and the exact failed URL log are preserved in the Wikipedia seven-review media archive on No access. This is an access hold, not missing permission. No claim of complete source coverage or publication clearance.
