GREAT FIND!! In searching the National Archives' web site at nara.gov. I found photographs of General Samuel W. Crawford from the Civil War. I also found images of the registration cards of Clinton K. Crawford and William S. Crawford in the Spanish American War. Clinton K. Crawford registered at San Antonio, TX. Once at NARA, go to the NAIL Digital section and perform a search. I used "Civil War and Crawford" and "Military Records and Crawford." Hope you find someone you've been looking for. Pass this information on to other lists you belong to. There are thousands of images online. Marilyn Conner

Friends, Can anyone help Monty find his ancestor. Please respond to him. Wanda --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: MCrawf7422@aol.com I am looking for the parents of Alfred Pinckney Crawford...my gggrandfather....came to Northwest Texas by way of Dallas Arkansas and Fort Smith Arkansas.......was married to Susan Ursery...supposedly has kinfolks in southeast Missouri as well....could forward this to the many Crawfords you correspond with??? many thanks Monty Crawford Houston Texas

One again I am searching for my great-grandparents, Pinckney Winfield "P.W." OWEN (S) and Zilla "Zilley" Crawford Owen (s). P.W. was born in 1818 in TN (probably west TN) and came to Texas with his parents, William "Billy" & Elizabeth and his several sibling early 1837. Zilley Crawford was born Dec 1822 in Middle TN or Al. to John Crawford and ?. She came to Texas early 1837 also in the same wagon train as the Owens, tho her father John may have already been in TX. P.W. and Zilley were married in "old Harriisburg" , Republic of Texas, possibly late 1837 -1838. They had 10 children, the six older ones possibly born in Walker county. The Owen(s) family moved to Limestone County ca 1854-1855, the other four children were born in Limestone Co where the family had a farm near Personville. P.W. served in CSA, came home ill and died in 1869. They lost their first son James in death while serving in the CSA. Two other sons , John Franklin & Robert Dale also served with the CSA. Zilley died in Dec. 1877, the farm later was sold. I cannot find where P.W. and Zilley were married, were buried, have not located where the children were buried, but believed in Limestone County somewhere. Pinckney & Zilla had children: James Jefferson b. 1840 John Franklin b.1842 Robert Dale b. 1844 Mary Jane b. 1847 Sarah Ann b. 1849 Pinckney W. b. 1852 Texana M. b. 1855 Geo. Washington b. 1858 William D. "Bill" b. 1861 ( My grandfather) Sam Houston b. 1864. Any help appreciated. Wanda wrtracy@juno.com

I have placed a Crawford Family Page on line at <A HREF="http://member.aol.com/mrbob625/index.htm">http://member.aol.com/mrbob625 /index.htm</A> . This page is a continuation of the research done by Janis Wilson Crawford who died in Nov of 1998. The history involves the states of VA, MD, and NY and surnames, Self, Shifflett, Morris, Rodgers, Suphin, Glenn, Haney, Wilson, McDonald, Sipe, Burke, Michael, Tobin, Fisher, Bowersox, Davis, Mobb, and Coulson. This page is not completed but it contains information that might be helpful to some Crawford researchers. If you have information to add, please be kind and send an E-mail Robert Lee Crawford Sr

From: CUALLTO@aol.com To: TXJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <7134f96d.24f01d9f@aol.com> Subject: [TXJEFFER] GWEN:> > > > Fwd: WWI Draft Cards --part1_7134f96d.24f01d9f_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thought all of you would be interested in this...........Gwen << Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on. >>

I just had a possible breakthrough on my CRAWFORD research. I was looking for M(oses) "Alsberry/Alsbury" CRAWFORD b. 1845 TN/MO....father: James. He went by E.B. or E.L. His tombstone has E.B. His death certificate has M. Alsberry Crawford. I could never figure out where the E.B. or E.L. came from until I found "Elsberry" Crawford....b. 1854 TN moved to MO about 1856....father: James. I would like to correspond with any one who might connect to this line in order to be able to verify that M. A. is definately Elsberry. (I'm not concerned about the 1845/1854 dates......I think it was a reversal of numbers....his tombstone even has 1875). James R. CRAWFORD b. 1813-1820 Dyer Co., TN d. 28 Jan. 1900 Jasper Co., MO md Ellender HARRIS abt. 1839 TN. Issue: Jasper Lafayett CRAWFORD b. 10 Jul 1839 TN Meraline CRAWFORD b. 1842 TN Stephen R.

Dear Ancestor Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone. The name and the date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who cares It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you.
