Mike: You have wonderful info. Thanks so much for the beautiful pictures. My husband thanks you also. He cant get over the beauty of the Crawford Priory. The info will be saved and maybe will help with the quzzle. My reference to the black Crawfords, came from childhood stories from his grandparents. Who refered to being from the Black Crawfords of Cromarty. Which is a location on the Black Isle in the district of Cromarty, which is in the Northeast by Inverness and not to far from Culloden. In fact on the map is shows Culloden and across the water is the isle. We could see the isle from the shore. Do you have any kin anywhere else in Scotland? Jean and Andy

We go the the Battle of Culloden, in Culloden GA. every spring. And thats the story the Scots tell. Jean >> Very interesting. Do you have other information from Culloden, GA? Surnames of participants, dates, info. etc? June

I apologize if this site has been posted to the list before but thought it a very valuable tool. This is a site of people who volunteer to take pictures at cemeteries. The more people that know of it, the more locations will be available. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/2318/ What a great idea. Brenda

My understanding of the Crawford history is that the main line developed at Crawford (North of Moffet) and the lands and Earldom passed to the Lindseys through the marriage of the daughter when there was no surviving son. The ruins of that castle is at Crawford and is sometimes called the Lindsey Castle. Younger sons of earlier earls developed branches around Ayr of which Archnames (Killbirnie) was the larger line. In the 1750's this line married the daughter of the Earl of Crawford (a Lindsey) and the Earldom came back only to be lost in the next generation when there was not any living children. -- Andrew Crawford, 2785 IOE Dept., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 734 764-9410, Ascott Corp 734 663-2023 http://ascott.com/

Don: I have no idea what septs. is or are? But i surely would like to know. Mike: do you have any time frame when it was changed from Craufurd? very interesting. My husband has heard maybe some of his kin might have come from Kilbirnie. But don't know? He knows some of his kin are from the Black Crawfords of (im going to murder this word because I cant get to my paperwork right now( Cromatry). I am completely in awe and respect for Scotland. The people have a proper pride, pride of blood and ancestry, pride in the independence and strudy self-reliance, pride of place. This was said by Christian Watt in the book i mentioned eariler. I would love any material you could share with me. Im going to find Struthers and Cupar on the map. I would love a picture also. Did you see the Lindsey tower and the Crawford castle on the eastern side the tower is in ruins and the castle is like a big house on a small side road? Jean Crawford 7029 Land Dr Columbus, GA 31904

Looking for information on a family of Crawfords from Wales. Anyone researching Wales? -- Launie Reid Graffeo *********************************** Mommy first, Genealogy second! : ) ***********************************

While I was in Scotland a weird thing happened. While in Cairnbulg a 2nd cousin of my husband told us about a man in Broadsea who had all the info we could ask for on the Crawfords. I'll tell that story later, but we found him and he had a book his g-or ggrandma wrote. It was out of print but he read apart that my husbands grandma was in. Well this man said the book was out of print. So we couldnt posibily get a copy, But his same grandma wrote another book that was still in print and told us where to get the book. All of you Crawfords or any one interested in the fishing villages of Scotland and the different familys and their marriages. Its the best descriptive, sad, happy, and informative book I have ever read. Alot of names are in it. If your interested I can tell you some of the names like Nobles, Crawfords, Buchan and so on. Heres how to order this book: about 13.00pounds.

ISBN 0 9506607 8 7 copyright 1988 We got back to the bed and breakfast and told the lady about the strange day and about the book that wasnt in print anymore. And the next morning there it was next to my plate. She thought it was familiar and had it in her lib. She gave it to us which was the nicest thing possible. The name of this book is A STRANGER ON THE BARS , The memoirs of Christian Watt Marshall of Broadsea ,edited by Gavin Sutherland. jean

To: William Griffin. Your correct in saying the orginial Crawford died out. But I believe they died out because the male Crawfords were mostly killed off and the Clan Chief died. Thats one Crawford Clan. The other Crawford clan, and im not sure what "other "means yet. They married into the Lindsey Clan which made us a sub-clan I call it of the Lindseys. But other then that i'm not sure how this fits yet. If you know please share with me. Jean

Wow! I can't believe all the replys I got. I am still sort of new at this, but heres what I have: Benjamin Crawford moved to US from Northern Ireland. I am not sure when, or who his siblings/parents are, but he was born in Sept. 1849. He married Margaret Harper, and then a Mary someone (all from Ireland). Their children were: Mary b. 1885, James Francis (my grandfather) b. Apr 1886, Harriot (Hattie) b. 1887, and Sarah (Sadie) b. 1890. They all lived in Woonsocket RI and Blackstone Ma. So, far that is all I know. If any of this rings a bell with anyone, let me know! Thanks, Sharon

I'm trying to find information on my great-grandfather, Walter Crawford, married to Patience Conn. Their son, my grandfather, was Thomas Oscar Crawford and he was married to Catherine Louise Nipps.

Wanda, I would like to thank you for all your many posts to the list. I have many saved in my Crawford folder and keep meaning to thank you. I want you to know your time and efforts are much appreciated. Brenda Antal

Noreen, I think it's possible, although Crawford is not such a rare name that one can say for sure. My impression is that some Crawfords came to the U.S. and then to Canada, while others went to Canada directly. In "The Crawford Family of Oakham Massachusetts" (authored by Gen. William Crawford sometime around 1860), I find notes that Aaron Crawford, fourth son of Alexander and Elizabeth Crawford (and grandson of the Aaron and Agnes Crawford who emigrated from Northern Ireland in 1713) married a Jaol (or Jeales) Gill and settled in St. Albans, Canada. Most of his children stayed there, including a Chloe Crawford who married Mr. Martindale and resided in Stanbridge, Canada and Spencer Crawford, who was badly wounded fighting for the British in the War of 1812 and died in Canada in 1857. I also note, in "Crawford Family Records" (William M. Clemens, 1914) that John Gault Crawford, g-g-nephew of the Aaron Crawford who moved to St. Albans, was U.S. Consul to Canada from 1881-84 (for what that's worth).

RGun123 The Convenanter . What I know is not much but here goes.They swung Scotland from Roman Catholic to the reformed faith, and from an alliance with French to one with England. It has to do with the persecutions of the Protestants, they were made martyrs around 1661-1688. I may be wrong but I believe many fled to Ireland at that time. The old stories say once a year they snuck home in Scotland to see kin and many evidentually came to the new world. I have no idea how much later. The battle of CULLODEN happened in 1746 and it was fought near Nairn, Scotland It was the last battle of the Pretender to get the British Throne. Well the Scots lost, the Pretender got lost in France and many men of many clans were sent to GA. and other parts of Canada and the states. So the story goes. We go the the Battle of Culloden, in Culloden GA. every spring. And thats the story the Scots tell. Jean

Does anyone have proof of a marriage between Joseph Kellett and Elizabeth Jane Crawford in Lawrence or Randolph Co., AR about 1835. Kathleen Burnett
