    3. Hello Chuck, I read your data on the Crawford site regarding your Crawford's Alexander & Mary McPheeters. I have searched this "world over" searching for my Crawfords. A cousin indicated our Crawfords are Alexander & Mary McPeeters, however I am not sure. There have been other Crawfords to indicate the same thing. The Only thing I have for sure is my great grandmother was Zillah Ann Crawford born in AL ( or middle TN)9/1822. Her name listed in census records states Zealla Ann ( or Zilley). She went to TX in a wagon train with the Owen family ( my family) She married Pinckney Winfield Owen in about Harrisburg, TX ( now Houston area) She & P.W. had 10 living children, my grandfather William D Owen, next to the youngest. They entered TX before Oct. 1837 and was given 1280 acres by Houston, later sold that land and purchased land in Limestone Co TX where he died after 1865( from Civil War ) and then Zillah died prob. around 1870. We of her family understand she was part or whole Cherokee. Grand dad thought her dad's name was John and her Mom was a Buchannon. And Granddad thought she had relation(s) that fought at the Alamo. Another Crawford said Zillah might have been a nickname for Priscilla or another name. Another Crawford indicated my Zillah may have been an illegitimate from an Indian lady. these are "hear says" and I thought I would throw them at you & see if they ring a bell (?). Could/would you help me out? Are we ( you & I cousins) Would love to hear from you . Wanda Harbert
