Barb: It is nice to hear from a Scottish Crawford. You probably cannot help with this very frustrating question but I will go ahead and ask anyway. Unless something has changed in the recent past that I am unaware of, we American Crawfords are stuck at John Crawford who to the best of our knowledge was born in Scotland c1600 and was killed in Bacon's Rebellion near Jamestown in 1676. He was the father of David Crawford (born c1625) who was the ancestor of several US Crawford lines. I haven't found anyone who has definitive information on John's parentage or where exactly in Scotland he was from. The best theory I have seen is that he was perhaps the same as John Crawford, the Rector of Halden, who was the son of Hew (or Hugh) Crawford of Jordanhill in Renfrewshire. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Is there any chance that you have information on a cadet son named John of one of your Crawford lines emigrating to Virginia in the mid-1600s?

No wonder it wasn't posted) Is it possible to find out if anyone is after CRAWFORDS from Falkirk/Muiravonside, Stirlingshire in Scotland? I hate these surname lists just lately. For years and years I have been on them, I faithfully receive all the messages you all send - and when I try to reply, suddenly I'm told I'm not a member! If anyone is after Scottish CRAWFORDS and not American ones - I would love to hear from you. I have a fair few 'strays' collected from farand wide in Scotland for my direct surnames, Stirlingshire in particular, and am very willing to share. I am in the process of uploading a number of files of various surnames throughout Scotland on my website and once this is done I will let you know the address.
