+I saw names listed in this email that are family names of mine for Crawford Co. I have a GGG-Grandfather that was born in Crawford Co. about 1828 to a James and (Sarah) Boyd. I have heard that Sarah was a Larrimore. I found census for 1850, with Thomas and his wife Martha. Would like any info that can be dug-up about James and Sarah: Like when they were married? Died? etc. Thanks for any help given that can fill in the blanks.
