Hello Crawford’s I searched for my great great grandma Zillah Crawford for years and never found more than this: she went to Texas in wagon train and supposedly with an Owen Family an later married a Pinckney Owen at age 14 in the Houston area tho Houston was not there then, Harris Co. was.I can’t remember the years( I m 92) She and heri ihusband o1240 o acres of land as a gift for arriving in TX.at that year. They had 10 children, one being my mother’s father ( my Grandfather).They sold the land they were given and ended up in Limestone County Texas where they died. The census wrote her name as Ozella,not sure how it was spelled Does any one in these Crawford’s have this Zillah or Crawford/Owen. It has been believed her father to be John . Census records indicated her birth to have been Dec. 1822.. Hope some out there has a ZIllah ! Thank you. Wanda Harbert. I Sent from my iPad

Hi Wanda,  First let me say that I admire you so much for staying active at genealogy at 92.  I have a close friend who is 90, and she has lost the ability to do this work because of extremely poor vision from macular degeneration.  However, I have her tree and her DNA kit under my managment, and I do the computer work, find things, and call her and tell her what I found.  She does the thinking and guidance for where else to look, what kinds of things like nicknames, etc. that she would like to have recorded in her tree.  We have fun together doing this split work. We use my eyes and fingers and her brains on this project for her. Now, for your Crawford question.  I looked carefully since I have Crawfords, but these are not mine.  However there is a tree on Ancestry that has a lot of info on your Zillah.  I will put it in this email for you.  I have not checked the validity of this information myself, but the researcher who put it there has very detailed information.  Ancestry doesn't share email addresses, so I can't give you her email address.  However, if you are interested in contacting her, I will message her through Ancestry and ask her to contact you if you will send me your email address.  The only thing given about her location is East Texas.  Below is what I found on her tree: Zillah A Crawford born 11 Dec 1822 Tennesseedied 1877  Limestone Co, TX Father   John Crawford (1775-1847)Mother  Margaret Peggy Buchanan  (1776-1847) Married Pinckney Whitfield Owen (1818-1869) Children Job James JeffersonJohn FranklinRobertMarySarah AnnPinckney WinfieldTurner WTexanna MGeorge WashingtonWilliam AdolphusSamuel Houston All of the children's last names are Owen.  Their birth dates are between 1840 and 1864.  Hope this helps.  Let me know if you need me to look up anything else.  Anna DattaloNederland, TXadattalo@att.net On Friday, June 21, 2019, 02:14:08 PM CDT, Wanda Harbert <wandaharbert@charter.net> wrote: Hello Crawford’s I searched for my great great grandma Zillah Crawford for years and never found more than this:  she went to Texas in wagon train and supposedly with an Owen Family an later married a Pinckney Owen at age 14 in the Houston area tho Houston was not there then, Harris Co. was.I can’t remember the years( I m  92) She and heri  ihusband o1240 o acres of land as a gift for arriving in TX.at  that year.
