my stone wall is finding the parents of William H Crawford, b Dec 1845, Mercer Co., VA (WVA) and died 1913, Pleasant City, Guernsey, Ohio. He was in the 5th OVC for the Union Army from Feb 1865 to Oct 1865. Believe he is part of the Zachariah Crawford and Jane Bowling family because they and their children Charles A., John B,Thomas, Rueben, Sallie and Margaret Harriet were the only other Crawfords living in Mercer Co, VA in 1850-60. Believe he may be illegitimate son of one of kids as Z and Jane seem too old. He is not the Wm H who was son of Chas and Chloe Bailey Crawford who was confederate soldier and died of Camp fever in Lewisburg in 1861. Also, know Thomas was father of Zachariah, b 1779, but cannot find where that Thomas came from or who his parents were. Thomas ws listed as father on Zachariah's death certificate in 1867. After he died we find his widow Jane and son John B and family and M Hariett Crawford Thomas all in Meigs Co Ohio where my Wm H was when he enlisted in army in Feb 1865 and married Mary E Lovett in 1866. any help or direction on Wm's parents or Zachariah's parents roots would be appreciated!!!

I'm still trying to find out if Thomas Crawford was the father of John Whittle Crawford in Georgia. Anyone have any hints? Thanks, Mary Lu

It seems so many Crawfords have stone walls!!  I'm looking for the same ones in Chester, S.C. that Rob Edwards is looking for!  We can't seem to go beyond the one born in 1799 - don't have any clue where he was born or how he got to Chester!

I'm so sorry I though I had more information. I have been looking for Crawford for years. I know that Elizabeth Crawford had a sister named Mary " Polly. Mary "Polly" married James Ellerbe March 10, 1782. Elizabeth married William around 1784. My Elizabeth was born Dec 6, 1770 and died Dec 10, 1840. From that generation down you will find a children with the middle name Crawford. This family was from the Cheraw part of S.C. I can't prove it but it looks like Edward Ellerby ( there are many spelling for the Ellerbe name) was from James City County in Virginia. He show up as early as 1677, He takes his family and land transactions from 1677-1714. Then they show up in North and South Carolina. Other names that go with this name are Galespy, or Gillespie. We know that Elizabeth in laws were Thomas Ellerbe ( b. March 20 1743 and d. Sept 16. and Obedience Glillespie ( B. Sept. 12, 1743 and d 1821). Does this mean anything to anyone.

Maybe the following story will help. There was another Crawford who was a professor at my university. One day I asked him where his Crawfords hailed from. He told the name Crawford started with his grandfather. He had gotten into some bad trouble Liverpool, England. He was was waling down the street wondering what to do. He looked up and saw a sign on a building "Crawford Biscuit Company." Right then he decided to become a Crawford. He purchased a ticket to Canada and that is when his Crawford line started.

Hi Dale, I've traced my Crawfords to Chester, SC in the early 1800s. I don't know if my family is connected to any in your documents -- did you run across any Crawfords that headed north & inland? Cheers!

The earliest Crawford in my line that I have identified is Thomas Crawford, who lived near what is now Georgetown, South Carolina in the 1740s and 1750s. Some published material identifies the parents of this Thomas Crawford as John Crawford and Mary Duke of Hanover County, Virginia. This linkage is also repeated as correct by Ancestry.com and in the Mormon church records. I have never believed that this John and Mary were the parents because John's birth year was given as 1737, which makes him too young to be the father of a man with an 11 year old child in 1753, which Thomas Crawford was. I have some material, written and researched by Helen Imrey, that comes to the same conclusion as I do but from a different direction, by meticulously studying the land records around Georgetown. She identifies three different and distinct Crawford families, one of which is my ancestor Thomas Crawford, and another of which is the family of John and Mary Duke Crawford. While there may be some connection, which I doubt, between my Thomas and this John and Mary, it is not that of parent and child. The family of John Crawford of Hanover County, Virginia, is a prominent, well-documented family and I don't think that Thomas was closely related to that family. In any event, I thought this well-written and -researched material might be of interest to some of you on this list. I will be happy to send this material in a Word document to anyone who is interested (it is too large to circulate via Rootsweb) if you send me your direct email address. In particular, if any of you are researching my Thomas Crawford, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Dale M Crawford dalemcrawford@comcast.net

Wow, what a find! I wish I could find something like that on the Crawford loyalist soldiers who fought for the crown and ended up in Canada. My ancestor, David Crawford, (traditionally from Long Island) was granted land along with land for his adult sons in Ontario for his loyal service in the Revolutionary War, but that is all that I can find on him. I would love to verify his wife's name, his date of birth and death, etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated Sylvia ----- Original Message ----- From: <crawford-request@rootsweb.com> To: <crawford@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 3:00 AM Subject: CRAWFORD Digest, Vol 6, Issue 51 > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

In looking for my Thomas Crawford's father, I came across the Rev. War Pension files of several Crawfords.  I am posting extracts of some below.  There is much more info in the files because the soldier or his widow had to prove his service.   They give their dates of birth, place of birth, describe when and where they served, certain battles they participated in, where they lived, and often times the names of children.  Also, the children sometimes testified to stories their dad told, etc.  There is a wealth of information in these files.   Unfortunately, none of these appear to be mine, but I thought they might help someone.
