My documented Crawford line starts in Delaware, OH in 1841 with Elizabeth VanLear Crawford b. 1841 in Maryland d. 1916 in Delaware, OH. m. John Evans b. 1837. Elizabeth's father is William P. Crawford b. 1813 OH in Delaware, OH wife was Jane b. 1817 Second wife, Susan?? William P. Crawford's father may be James W. Crawford, b. Maryland d. 1858 Delaware County, OH. Moved to OH in 1811. Was State senator; Col. of a regiment of State militia. Elizabeth stated to s on, Fred Evans, that William P. Crawford was a half-brother of Col. William Crawford??? There was an, Elizabeth Van Lear d. 1821 of Maryland that married a James W. Crawford. Her father was Joseph Van Lear b. OCT 1746 in Lancaster, PA Wife: Mary Chambers b. 1746 d. 9 NOV 1836 in Franklin Co. PA Joseph's father may be Christian. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone??? LynnB
