I've been researching my ALLEN family for the past 30 yrs and I continually discover the name of CRAWFORD as a given name as well as a surname, but can find no connection. Most recently, I discovered an Eva Crawford m. (1884 in Edgar Co, IL) a W.E. DAVID who is described as a nephew of my Allen ancestor who is also from Edgar Co, IL. Can anyone connect ALLEN, CRAWFORD, or DAVID in eastern Illinois or western Indiana 1840-1900? Any help will be welcome. Thanks. Merri
