    1. [CRAWFORD] John Crawford of St. Peter's, New Kent, VA.

    3. >From "The Patrish Register of Saint Peter's, New Kent County, Va. from 1680 to 1787", published by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Virginia, 1966 page 4 "Peter negro belonging to David Crawford borne ye 10th of Oct. 1688" page 56 "John Craford Departed this Life ye 13 day of December 1689" I am curious, from all of the printings I have seen on John Crawford of Jamestown, it states that he died in Bacon's Rebellion some 13 years earlier............. But I have also seen writings which state that no one has found any record of John serving in Bacon's Rebellion, I wonder where this information is coming from and it source. In the parish records, all deaths of children are listed as "infant son" or "infant daugher" of the parents. Deaths of adults are always listed as the above for John Crawford is listed, so the above can be concluded to be the death of an adult. I am wondering if this is not the record of the death of John Crawford who came with his son David to Jamestown in 1643. He may have been younger that we had at first been lead to believe. There could not have been very many, if indeed anyone other that John Crawford of Kilbernnie in the area at this time....... And the above negro being born to David Crawford in 1688 has to be David, the son of John of Kilbernnie. The gift of land to David Holt by David Crawford was in 1686. The time line is right for all of these people, and the location is right. Mary
