For historical geography's sake, that pointy part now being WV that juts up between PA & OH was VA. On another issue, 1820 census at Fairfield Co OH lists Joshua, Moses, Jacob, James, Robt, Samuel. Some of those names are seen 1790-1810 Frederick Co MD, by 1820 only Samuel remained. I have NO idea if they may be related. Moses in particular wasn't a common given name. One surprised me being in Westmoreland Co PA 1800 (where my MD-born Mathias relocated about 1801) then for a couple decades in IN Co PA which was cut off old Westmoreland. > Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2007 23:31:12 -0600 > From: "Mary Stockton" <[email protected]> > Subject: [CRAWFORD] MD + PA > OH > IN > IA Crawfords > > Hi all, I'm looking for my gggrandparents.

Researching : D. L. CRAWFORD born about 1803 Bradford County, PA found in counties bordering this county also D. L. (D- David or Daniel) Lewis CRAWFORD ---went to Iowa , Benton Co. with 2 of his grown children by 1855-56 daughter Annis (born early 1830's stayed behind in PA) ---the family was in the 1856 census, Benton Co. Jackson twp D. L. Crawford, head farmer and son Samuel Albert and daughter Sarah/Sara Elizabeth My BRICK WALL is daughter--- Sarah,/ (Sara) Elizabeth CRAWFORD---born mid 1830's ----who I believe may have married a "Christy PATTON" from the same area by 1860. (source; marriage record between these names) Christy PATTON spelled Patent/ Patten etc likely was a farmer, but a DIVORCE notice in the news paper between a Sarah PATTON served Dr. Christy Patton with divorce. SO was Christy Patton a DOCTOR???? Haven't found any record of either Sarah or Christy after this notice. Hope someone is chasing this family in Iowa son; Samuel Albert born late 1830's married in Benton Co. IA to Mary HULL between 1855-60 (1857) lived in Jackson twp with wife, children: Ira, Henry, and daughter Emma who married a FLICKINGER from the area. Samuel enlisted in the Civil War from Vinton, IA was wounded and died May 1863. Ira and Henry married CLITES sisters from Big Grove twp. and later moved to South Dakota.
