Sharon & others, My Crawford line is a needle in a haystack. I have searched years for my first great grandmother and have been on the Crawford list since 1996. Some of you may remember me as Wanda Tracy ( wrtracy@juno) and I have posted many articles on this site. My great grandmother, Zillah Ann Crawford ( AKA Zilley/Zealla was born Dec 1822 in Alabama ( according to Texas census records) or perhaps in TN ( according to her son, my grandfather). She may have been part or full blood Native American . Her father may have been a John Crawford. I have no information on her parents or siblings. My grandfather said she was either the oldest child or next oldest. She supposed to have went to Texas in a wagon train with "relatives" around 1837, with the same wagon train as William Owen family of TN. Zilley married Pinckney Winfield Owen before ( barely) Oct 1, 1937 as She & husband, P.W. received a land grant of 1280 acres from Republic of Texas. Zilley died in 1877 Limestone County, Texas, and had 10 children I have posted many times on this list, searching for her. Those of you who have been on the list will most likely remember. I would appreciate any help, leads, tips regarding my Zilley. I have wondered if her name had been Priscilla and Zillah a nickname??? I am a born Texan now living in California. Thanks for any help.
