I am a new member of this list and hope someone might be familiar with my branch of the family. I am trying to verify work done by my grandfather over 50 years ago. Our CRAWFORD family first appears in Prince George Co, MD with Hugh CRAWFORD, Sr. (birthdate unknown). His son Hugh CRAWFORD Jr was born approx 1755 in Prince George County, MD. Hugh Jr. married Mary JEANS in MD in 1780. I next find he and his father in Nelson Co., KY. Hugh Jr's daughter Margaret CRAWFORD (born 1791) md Phillip GRABLE in KY (probably Nelson Co.). They were my grandfather's great-grandparents. My grandfather wrote that Hugh Crawford Jr was a soldier in the Revolution. His father, Hugh Sr. (md to ? Caldwell), owned a trading post (or store) at Fort Lewis, which later became Louisville, KY. I am told that he assisted with the Mason-Dixon survey of 1763, and was a guide and interpretrer for the Lewis and Clark expedition. It would be wonderful if this was all true, but to date I can find no evidence of it. He also wrote that Hugh Crawford was well known and mentioned in history books?? I would love to hear from anyone who may have information on this family and especially the ancestry of the "Hughs". Thank you in advance, Pat Payne in Florida
