Dear CRAWFORD researchers/genealogists, Below I have copied the family line for John CRAWFORD b 1746, SC, son of James(John) CRAWFORD from the Ancestral file, which is online. Maybe this will paint an easier picture of the family than I can. Hopefully, it will trigger someone's memory of this member of this particular CRAWFORD family. My search for Mahalaleel (possibly aka Hal) CRAWFORD b abt 1802, SC, has provided me with many hours of online search. Many of you have responded & helped so much. Does anyone out there have anything on Hal b 1780? There is a reference in Sellers' book, The History of Marion County, "Hal married Mary MACE and went West." I have begun to believe he is the father of my Mahalaleel b abt 1802, who is reputed to have married Mary MACE by descendants of his daughter', Ann, b 1827 SC. He is believed to be the father of my G-grandfather, Willis b 1825 SC and brother of Ann. Found an M. CRAWFORD in the 1840 Monroe Co, AL, census, as well as land owned by Mahalaleel. Mahalaleel moved to Walton Co, FL, & was found in 1850 & 1860 census. Again there was land purchases there in 1850. In 1850 Mahollen (variant spelling) was 48 on the census record. This presents the probability it wasn't the older Hal b 1780 who went West, but possibly his son, Mahalaleel. Would appreciate any help anyone can give me regarding this family or any suggestions for finding more information.
