Hi, Keith - My James Crawford was born in Virginia in 1787, so probably is not your guy. Sorry! It can be frustrating trying to trace families "across the pond"!

My ggggrandfather was a James Crawford. I descend from a Robert Crawford (son of James) who migrated to Australia, possibly in the 1850's. This Robert Crawford was possibly born in Shetland Islands approx 1820, so I guess his father james was probably born somewhere around 1780/1790. If these timelines line up with your records I would love to hear from you as I have hit a brickwall with Robert Crawford.

He had a son James Crawford, but I do not have a George, so it does not seem to be the same family. Sorry!

He contacted me several years ago through Ancestry.com, because he'd seen my family tree of Crawfords. At that time he was about to enter an Eastern Orthodox convent. We exchanged a few emails then I lost contact with him. He did tell me of some cousins who were from Botetourt County. Justin and his cousins were from the George Crawford line. George was the brother of James Madison Crawford, my ancestor. James Madison's son James H Crawford was my grandmother's father. Justin also emailed me a probate account of Andrew Crawford where he'd purchased a rather large amount of land for just a few shillings - before US currency. He then sold the land to his oldest son for several thousands of dollars. If you are of these Crawfords I'd love to hear from you. I've been in Virginia and have driven down the Appalachian Road, perhaps right by Craig's Creek area. This land is probably one of the few places I'd like to visit to see where ancestors lived and worked.
