Source:Fleming-neville: "In the way of geneology [sic] the Neville blood is traced through many prominent families of Pittsburgh, and in direct descent. Among them are the Craig, Shields, Chaplin, Davison, Wallingford and Corning families, the latter three the married names of Neville B. Craig's daughters. ¶ This reminds us we have Craig and Wallingford streets, also."

Source:Fleming-neville-craig: "Not all the names of the Craig connection are commemorated here. The late Isaac Craig, for many years one of the shining lights of the old Historical Society with Judge John E. Park, the Rev. A. A. Lambing and others, had three sisters, Mrs. Comingo, Mrs. Davison and Mrs. Wallingford. We have Wallingford street, but no Comingo street. We have Davison street in Lawrenceville from the well-known Davison family in that section."

Source:Miller, p. 52: "That part of the farm which lies south of Fifth Avenue was bought by William Dithridge, a glass manufacturer, and laid out in lots as East Pittsburgh. Mr. Henry Lloyd afterwards bought the Dithridge house (opposite the Bellefield Church) and most of the land. He laid out Neville Street, Craig, and Dithridge Streets, as well as Bayard and Wallingford Streets, all of which perpetuate names of the Craig family connection."

Source:Miller-chronicles, pp. 3–4: "Neville B. Craig, their [Isaac and Amelia Craig's] son, was a Princeton man, scholar, writer, lawyer and historian. He is described as the 'tall, slender, gentlemanly, fearless, crusty, keen editor' of the Pittsburgh Gazette—which he published from 1829 to 1841. ¶ He owned and lived on a farm which extended from the present site of the Carnegie Institute to what is now Center Avenue. This farm he named Bellefield in honor of his wife (Isabella Wilson), and the name is now given to the residence section covering that portion of the city. He lived in the island [p. 4] mansion during the summer, and his children, John and Amelia, are buried in the island church yard on the west side of the Neville Island Presbyterian Church. ¶ When the Bellefield farm was divided into city blocks, the family names, Bellefield, Craig, Neville, and Wallingford, were all used as street names."

Source:Frey, p. 134: "Neville B. Craig, graduate of Princeton, was a scholar, lawyer, writer and historian. In 1829, he became the editor of the Gazette which he published until 1841. Owner of a farm on the present site of Carnegie Library, he named the land 'Bellefield' in honor of his wife, Isabella Wilson. When the Bellefield farm was eventually divided into city blocks, the family names, Bellefield, Craig, Neville and Wallingford were all used as street names."
