TO ALL CRAWFORD LIST MEMBERS: Please forgive me for this long E-Mail, but I know you can help. Let me introduce myself my name is Michael Law and I am new this list. I have done extensive research on my paternal surname; however, most recently I just discovered that the man listed on my birth certificate Tallie W. Law, Jr was not my father. I was always told that he was sent to prison while my mother was 8 months pregnant. It was not until I researched the Ohio Penn Prison Roster did I discover that he was in prison before I was conceived and not released until after I was born. My mother and him never re-united again. I finally, had the courage to ask my mother who was my father. She told me today and said she was greatly relieved to divulge this secret she kept for almost 42 years. I was born July 8, 1957 in Columbus, Ohio. I would have been conceived probably somewhere around October, November, or December 1956. My mother was about 26 years old in 1957. She said my father was SAM CRAWFORD. Sam was about 15 years her senior thus he would have probably been born around 1916??? Sam was living with his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew on Deckenball Street in Columbus, Ohio. My mother can't remember Sam's sister's first name, but belive her married name was ARNOLD. Sam was a bartender at the Neil House in Columbus, Ohio, again in 1956. The last time my mother seen Sam was when I was about 3 years old. I would love to "hook-up" with anyone who has information on this SAM CRAWFORD. If you have information or know someone who might I would be internally indebted.... Again some basic facts Father's Name: Sam Crawford Sam's Sister's Married Name: ARNOLD Time: 1956-1957 Location: Columbus, OH Employed @ Neil House as a bartender Lived on Deckenball Street May have been born in 1916. Please E-Mail me... Mike Law
