AL Researchers, Please allow me to share a little more about Monroe Co, AL, CRAWFORDs. My ancestor, g-g-gf Mahalaleel Crawfords descendants are shown below & a brief bio of his family (as known) in SC. Maybe someone will recognize some of his children's names & help me over, under, around, or storming through my brick wall. My contention is that Mahalaleel is the son of Hal CRAWFORD as listed on Ancestral file as s/o John CRAWFORD b 1746, SC and wife Elizabeth ALSTON Crawford, b 177?, SC (probably Marion Dist). My reasoning for this is that Hal b 1780, or 1767 on one record (possibly 2 Hals?) would have been the right age as Mahalaleel was b abt 1802 per 1850 & 1860 FL (Walton Co) FL, census. This is further strengthened by the correspondence rec'd & source material showing his children as listed below. John CRAWFORD b 1746 was s/o James CRAWFORD & Kasiah (Cassia) SAUNDERS as listed in Sellers' History of Marion County, SC, as well as Ancestral file online & other researchers. Would love to hear from anyone who has knowledge or would like to exchange information on these CRAWFORDs. Thank you for your help, Winkie CRAWFORD R WinkieFL@aol.com 1.
