Noreen, I think it's possible, although Crawford is not such a rare name that one can say for sure. My impression is that some Crawfords came to the U.S. and then to Canada, while others went to Canada directly. In "The Crawford Family of Oakham Massachusetts" (authored by Gen. William Crawford sometime around 1860), I find notes that Aaron Crawford, fourth son of Alexander and Elizabeth Crawford (and grandson of the Aaron and Agnes Crawford who emigrated from Northern Ireland in 1713) married a Jaol (or Jeales) Gill and settled in St. Albans, Canada. Most of his children stayed there, including a Chloe Crawford who married Mr. Martindale and resided in Stanbridge, Canada and Spencer Crawford, who was badly wounded fighting for the British in the War of 1812 and died in Canada in 1857. I also note, in "Crawford Family Records" (William M. Clemens, 1914) that John Gault Crawford, g-g-nephew of the Aaron Crawford who moved to St. Albans, was U.S. Consul to Canada from 1881-84 (for what that's worth).
