It's curious that this DYK passed review, as nowhere does this text or the sources say that Toliver Craig, Sr. was imprisoned for preaching the gospel. His sons Lewis and Elijah are the only ones documented to have been imprisoned in Virginia for preaching without a license from the Anglican Church. It was also much more typical for young men in their 20s to be the ones to challenge colonial authorities in these efforts as exhorters, rather than older men.Parkwells (talk) 13:58, 21 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
