William Crawford was my ancestor -- could have been born as early as 1775. Family tradition says he was Irish. He was in Virginia at the time his known five children were born: 1) Nancy H. Crawford, b. 16 Feb. 1801, marr. Rev. Harvel Bray -- went to Missouri and on to Calif. during the Gold Rush of 1849; 2) Josiah Adams Crawford, b. 9 July 1810, marr. Athens Co., OH, 12 Sept. 1833, Hannah Watkins, dau. of Wm. & Hannah (Dew) Watkins -- 1838 removed to Vermilion Co., IL; 3) Isabella Crawford marr. Daniel Wyman, Logan, OH in 1834; 4) Jane Crawford marr. Joseph Shuler, Logan, OH in 1835; 5) Samuel J. Crawford -- nothing further known. William Crawford fought in the War of 1812, don't know where in Virginia he lived or who he married. William and family removed to Hocking Co., Ohio in 1823. Would appreciate any information, clues or ideas to pursue. Josiah Adams Crawford (my ancestor) married twice and had 14 children. Would be happy to exchange lots of info on his family.
