Hello Everyone. Recently joined the Crawford List and hope someone can help me on this one. I'm seeking parent & sibling leads for ALEXANDER CRAWFORD, b. 12/22/1822 in Mercer Co., PA. I have one source that indicates he may be a "Jr." Alex arrived in Genoa, DeKalb Co., IL in Nov. 1839. On the 1840 census, he was working as hired labor for a local farmer. On 12/25/1845 in DeKalb Co., IL he married LAURA SHURTLEFF. They raised five children: Theresa, Henry Wm., Howard Milton, Everard C., and Berton. Alexander died on 11/2/1902. His obit states there is one surviving brother in California and one sister in Anamosa, Iowa. On the 1840 Census, another Alexander Crawford, age 40-50 and also b. in PA, appears in a neighboring township. The 1850 census shows three children at home; Elizabeth (25), Woods (21), and Henrietta(18), all born in Ohio. There is also another Henrietta in the household; the age is not clear but appears to be (81). Have not been able to make a connection between these two Alexanders. I have traced Woods Crawford to Lake Co., CA. Any info on this Crawford line would be greatly appreciated! . . . . . . . . . . Barb
