Hi To All Crawford List Subscribers, My name is Michael Law. You may remember 2 inquiries I sent over the past 4 months. I had written to the list hoping to find any information I could about my new found father - Samuel Crawford. I had told you that while doing genalogical research I had discovered that Tallie Law was not my father, and when I confronted my mother (after 41 years) she admitted to it and said Samuel Crawford was my father. The only information my mother had was his name and the last name of his sister & brother-in-law and the street they lived on in Columbus, OH. I immediately sent out an E-Mail to the Crawford list searching for any information. Well diligence paid off after receiving a Columbus City Directory for 1956-58 I had a first name for his sister & brother-in-law (Bertha & Clarence Arnold). I was then able to tie these names in with an ORBIT on Samuel Crawford. Using the names from the ORBIT I found his brother who put me in touch with a new half-sister. I haven't talked much with her, but I hope my letter and pictures of myself and children will help her feel more comfortable talking with me in the future. Thanks to all those who showed support! I was able from the ORBIT to get Samuel Crawford's father name. So asking for your assistance again. Samuel Crawford's father's name was Cleveland Crawford. From the Social Security Death Index he was born in 15 March 1884 and died in March 1977. While talking with Samuel's brother Burlin E. Crawford he did say they were all from Harrisonburg, VA. Anybody on the list have family who ties in with a Cleveland Crawford from VIrginia? Thanks Again, Michael Law
