Hello everyone... Will gladly comply with the request that we post our Crawfords. Please forgive the length, but the more info, the more chance of finding cousins. Glad/sorry to know that I am not the only one having trouble finding ancestors. I used to joke with my cousins that James Crawford was hatched, since we couldn't find his origins. James Crawford born ca. 1746 (possibly in Virginia) married Elizabeth England (b. 1752 in VA)in Surry Co, NC 1769. Both died in Limestone County AL in 1825. [It is believed that the father of James was John and that the family lived at one time in Pennsylvania, then moved to Virginia, maybe lived in the Scots-Irish community in Augusta County VA] James & Elizabeth had 13 children: John b 1770 Sallie b 1772 Moses b 1774 Elizabeth (Betsy) b 1776 Joseph b 1777 Vineyard b 1780 this above group was born in Surry Co NC then Jesse H. b 4/27/1784 (my ancestor)somewhere in NC then Colby b 1786 Casander b 1788 Rachiel b 1790 Mary Elizabeth "Polly" b 11/11/1793 this bunch was born in Pendleton District SC then Samuel b 1796 somewhere in SC and finally Russel J. b 9/8/1798 in unknown location. ****** Jesse H. Crawford married Hanna (believed to be Hanna Warren b 1788) and they lived in Alabama, Tennessee and possibly Georgia. Several of their children were born in Greene Co AL. Jesse died 1863 and Hanna died 1866. Son of Jesse H. and Hanna was Simon Bolivar Crawford b 1827 in Greene Co AL. He married Elizabeth Ann Baysinger (b 1830). They married in Rusk County, TX 6/29/1848. Son of Simon Bolivar and Elizabeth was Jesse Crawford b 1851 in Nacogdoches Co, TX. He married Martha E. Scogin (b 1855)in Nacogdoches Co. Jesse died in 1877 from an accidental gunshot wound. Martha died in 1945. Son of Jesse and Martha was Robert Simon Crawford ( b 1876 in Nacogdoches Co.) He married Mollie Anna Hunt ( b 1880). Robert died in 1940 and Mollie died in 1977. Robert & Mollie had a son, Alton Parker Crawford (b 1904 d 1990)[my grandfather] and two daughters, Mabel Lucy Crawford and Dorothy Dean Crawford. If you connect in any way with this family, I would love to hear from you.
