Dear Lawrence - I am a direct descendent of the Crawford family line and picked up one of your threads on rootsweb.com from 2009 and noted that you wrote you have the family bible from Moses Crawford 1775. You seem to be the most knowledgable on this lineage per my many internet searches. Our family line is through Virgil Crawford son of Andrew Crawford, son of Rodney Ransom Crawford b 1816. I seem to be hitting a dead end after James (John?) Crawford 1752. Any information, pictures, or documents on the linage would be greatly appreciated. Or if you could just point me in the right direction since I am fairly new at this. My father who is 82 is the son of Virgil Crawford and I would like to gather this information to share with him. He was born in Randolph County AR and has great recollections of his childhood. We took him there last year and he shared a lot of stories and memories of life in the Oconee and Ravenden Springs area. However, he cannot remember his lineage past Andrew Crawford his grandfather. Here is hoping you still follow up on your genealogy from time to time. Thank you in advance for any information you may have. Susan Stroud St. Louis, MO

Dear Susan Stroud, I also have a dead end Crawford. As your father was from AK, might his family have been in the Crane Hill area? My g-g grandfather might have been from there. He was William J. Crawford. He married a Lizzie Bean who was born in Crane Hill, AK. The only trace of him I have is in 1871 when he married Lizzie Bean in LaGrange, TX. If your father has any relations by the name Wm. J. Crawford, please let me know. Thank you, Michael Crawford > From: cobcook@yahoo.com > Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 07:32:29 -0600 > To: crawford@rootsweb.com; crawford-bounce@rootsweb.com > Subject: [CRAWFORD] Moses Crawford Ancestry > > Dear Lawrence - > > I am a direct descendent of the Crawford family line and picked up one of your threads on rootsweb.com from 2009 and noted that you wrote you have the family bible from Moses Crawford 1775.

Dear Susan,My records only go back to John Crawford (wife unknown) His children were Moses, Samuel & James b. abt 1747 Shenandoah Valley, VA. James, a Revolotionary veteran, married Elizabeth England abt 1772 Scurry co. NC.Their children were; John, Moses, Sallie, Betsy, Joseph, Vineyard, Jessie H., Casandra, Rachael, Mary Elizabeth, Colby, Samuel, & Russel J. (several of these children,as adults, moved to Arkansas, Texas and Indiana, etc.) Moses b. abt 1776 Wataga Settlement, NC d. abt 1834 Lawrence co. AR (now Sharp co.) Moses married Mildred Vest 1805 Franklin co. GA. Their children were: Colby,Salathiel, Alton, Rodney, Ollie, Vineyard, Russel.My records are not well organized and my memory is not as good as it was, but I don't seem to have anything further about Rodney.I feel sure that this Moses and Colby are buried in the Crawford cemetery. It was surveyed in 1842, but the first momuments were about 1859. Before that they used flat stones as headstones. My brother and I still own the farm adjacent to the Crawford cemetary on land where the Crawford settled in the mid 1820's. Thanks for renewing my interest in family history. Let me know if you find any more info on this family.

Looking to see if anyone out there is searching William Crawford born 1800 in Washington/Fayette County PA. In the 1850 census in Redstone twnship was married to a Riga from Maryland. He had two sons at least, the first might have been John A. Crawford, born 1828 and moved to Ohio, married Kiger women, the next son was my ggg grandfather, Daniel Crawford born 1830 married Frances Elizabeth Cooper from Uppermiddletown, Fayette, PA. Then William had 9 girls: 1) Nancy B: 1832 Unknown, 2) Malinda B: 1834 D: 1893 Married Orrison Steadman and then Thomas Orange. 3)Mary B: 1836 Unknown, 4) Matilda B:1836 D: 1876 Married Thomas Orange before her sister. 5) Susannah B: 1844 D: 1911 Married Joseph McIntosh 6) Margaret B: 1848 D: 1918 Married Isaac Theodore Lynn. 7) Sarah B: 1849 Unknown, 8) Lucinda B: 1854 D: 1899 Married John I Carnes. 9) Mary Ellen Crawford B: 1860 may have been daughter of oldest Mary? Thought I would throw it all out. Jay Crawford
