Hi fellow Crawford researchers, I am attempting to unravel my early ancestors. My 5 great grandfather, Thomas Crawford, immigrated here from North Ireland between 1780 and 1800. Recently, I located a biography of one of his grandsons (below) that gives general information on the family's origins including 4 brothers of Thomas Crawford who immigrated to America at an earlier time. Does anyone recognize the Crawfords described below? Thanks, Rebecca Commemorative and Biographical Record of Harrison and Carroll Counties Ohio p. 208 Excerpt from a biography of Rev. Thomas R. Crawford, Doctor of Divinity born March 8 1820 New Athens Ohio Minister of Nottingham Presbyterain Church for 40 years. "The ancestors of our subject fled from Scotland in the seventeenth century, during the Covenanter Persecution [1650-1670], and settled in the north of Ireland. HIs father, Nathaniel Crawford [s. of Thomas and Jane], at the age of sixteen years, together with the household of which he was a member, emigrated to the United States just at the close of the Revolutionary War. Three brothers of the grandgather [Thomas] of Dr. Crawford had come to this country at an earlier period, and were in the Revolutionary struggle. The fought on the American side, and a fourth brother was a captain under Lord Cornwallis on the British side. The three former lost their lives in battle at different periods during the war––one of them, a colonel of an artillery company, fell at the battle of Bunker Hill; one lost his life in a skirmish on the Hudson River, and the third was killed at the battle of Saratoga..." >From the Virginia State Library Colonial Records Project Survey Report No. 04908 page 2 copies of letters from Cornwallis to various officers Item 16: To Turnbull.
