The woman who took over as editor of The Crawford Exchange was June Crawford Sanders, P. O. Box 671, Janesville, CA 96114-0671. The last issue I received, which was her first (maybe only?) issue was in Aug. 1997 - it was Vol. 18, issue 1. Don't have any idea what happened after that. Marilyn Nickless -

Since Deanna has already put her line in I thought I would just answer and keep the order going. My line is through Reuben Crawford, whose father was Jesse Crawford. Reuben , born 2 Feb 1816, St. Clair County, AL and died 30 Aug 1889 in Nacogdoches County, TX. He married Elizabeth? whom he divorced.

They had one child, Emma S. abt 1881. AT least eight were born in Nacogdoches County, TX. George Washington Crawford married Rebecca Agerton 28 July 1865 Rusk County, TX.

She was from MD. Their children were Eleanor, Robert Owen, Mary Ann, Greenberry Riggs, Alexander B. III, Sara Taul, and Dorcas Hardy (Crawfords).

Hi Janet, I do believe that all the time I have spent "lurking" and browsing the list has finally paid off, thanks to you! My grandfather, James Craig Crawford, was the son of Henry Ellet Crawford and Eliza Jane Craig. According to information from Hanover College, Henry was born in Orange Co., N.C., Dec. 1,1832. On the college enrollment records for 1856 and 1858, his "Parents or Guardian" were listed as Samuel & Elizabeth Crawford of Bedford, Lawrence Co., IN. but in 1857 as Rev. Henry H. and Emily M. Crawford of Rushville, IN. In that same year,1857, John Wesley Crawford enrolled in Hanover College at the age of 21, listing Samuel & Elizabeth as his parents. I believe that Henry Ellet and John Wesley were brothers, but where do the Rev Henry H. and Emily M. Crawford fit in? I'm afraid that I can't add very much. I have no Crawford 1st or 2nd cousins but it's exciting to find that there may be so many 3rd and 4th and I'd love to hear what you might be willing to share. Warren

You will probably be swamped,but yes there are lots of KY Crawfords. I am researching Benjamin F and Rebecca Williams Boggs Crawford who left Carter Co in 1869,went to Hickory Co MO and remained there until their deaths in the 1890s. His brother Sanders was in Carter Co,brother Harvey was in Estill Co until after the 1850 census,John Milton was back and forth between KY&OH. There were more siblings,but thought these might get something started. They were the children of James and Jane Llewellyn Crawford who left TN and were in Montgomery Co KY for several years,she died there and he went with some of his children to Carter Co and lived to be 95 years old. He is buried on the family farm near Carter Caves State Park. Linda Crawford in MO.

Hello all. We are still LOL (laughing out loud) over all of the comments about CRAWFORDs falling from the sky, dropping from heaven, being hatched, etc. Like the rest of you, we always thought that our Marshall had to have sprung from a cabbage patch! Marshall CRAWFORD was (apparently) born around 1793/1800 in KY; married Rebecca SINCLAIR; they had 8 children, all born in AR (from 1825 to 1842); they moved to Hopkins Co., TX and then to Bell Co., TX. Marshall died in 1879, and Rebecca in 1882. Any info that anyone can share about Marshall and siblings and/or parents will be greatly appreciated! Don & Melinda Crawford

Hi youall, As with a lot of youall out there, I read the messages thru and find no clues. Have posted a few times, but there does not seem to be a Crawford in Kentucky! My Crawfords were dropped from heaven and did not come from anywhere. So, will post again and maybe a small KY. voice will answer. My gggrandfather and grandmother were Patrick and Lucrietia (Wyatt) Crawford, from Bracken Co., Kentucky. Patrick was born 5 April 1838 and Lucrietia(Lucy) was born in 1844. My ggrandfather and grandmother were John Patrick and Ida Mae (England) Crawford, from Bracken C., Kentucky. John was born 17 June 1875 and Ida Mae (my connection), was born 5 Dec 1881. My grandparents were Richard and Mollie Violet (Crawford) Bell. They were from Bracken Co. Richard was born 5 Feb 1898, Mollie was born 24 Nov 1903. Sorry I took so long, but I really wanted to be as complete as possible. If there are any Kentucky Crawfords out there...YELL. By the way, Carlisle is in Bracken Co.,KY. Thanks for reading all. Take care and God bless, Aileen from N.KY. <ejhurst@eos.net>

I posted a similar query not long ago and got no reply. All I know is that it was taken over by June _____ (I'll have to dig out her name & address). I got one issue that she put out after Wilton 'retired', then never heard another word. I think I'm owed one issue. I will probably drop her a note if I find her address. She's somewhere in Calif.

I too have had less than great luck finding any lines. Can't seem to get past my great grandfather, whom I really have nothing on other than a name and location. Since it seems to be in vogue, maybe I'll try a repost... Great Grandfather: Joseph Crawford, of New Jersey, moved to Marcellus, NY around the turn of the century, married Julia Smith (don't know where) Children: Joseph (Bud), Frederick, Douglas, Roy, Harry, Dorothy, David Grandfather: Harry Crawford, b. 1903(?) lived in Syracuse, NY all of his years, married Lillian Otis Children: Roy (my father), Joan (Holihan) Yours desperately, Stephen J. Crawford

Our brick wall is Margaret Crawford. she was born January 14, 1786 (where?) and died January 14, 1860 in Madison Co., AL. She married John H. Hall on Dec. 20, 1801 in Green Co., TN John and Margaret had nine children: Robert b. 1802 Jane b.1812 Isabella b. 1814 Alexander G. b. 1815, d. 1909 (my gg-grandfather) John b. 1816 Margaret b. 181 James b. 1823 Nancy b. 1828 William b. 1830 Would love to know who were her parents and siblings?

I have been on the net for a year now and have not seen any Crawfords from CT. where my line originated. My g g g grandfather, James Crawford, married Abigail ?, resided in Stamford, CT. where his 3 children. John James ( 1763-1766 ), Joanna ( 1765-? ) and John ( 1767-1821 ) were born. My g g grandfather John married Anne Mesnard in Stamford, CT in 1792 and they had 10 children ( Sally, Polly, Abigail, Hannah, Andrew, Thomas, Anna,William, Eliza and Emily ). All were born in Stamford.Andrew resided in New Canaan, CT and Thomas and William resided in NY State. Any info. you have will be appreciated and of course I will supply more details if needed. Charles Crawford

I also am looking for Crawfords in KY. My gg-grandmother was Mary Haden Crawford. I do not know who her parents were. She married John Stevenson of Todd Co. in 1838. They moved to Shannon Co. MO abt. 1860. I keep hoping that someday I will connect with my Crawford family. So if you are out there let me know. I also feel like my Crawford line just dropped out of the sky. Becky
