Hi Darius, I have been out of town and do not think I have replied to you. I was making a stab in the dark trying to find Daniel Crawfis. Thought maybe I would get lucky if you were researching Brants but it does not appear that you have any Crawfis in your line?

An Amy Brant appears in the 1830 Md census and there is an Alco marriage of (another unknown) George Brant to Amy Tracey in 1820. She may have been his widow. In general, I have found that many of my unknown Alco Brant marriages are descendants of pioneer John Brant of Somerset County ~1790. (This family is well documented in a book by Dr. Cobern [sp. ?], and Amy may be in there.) Those living in the southern part of that county apparently found it closer and easier to do business in Cumberland rather than Somerset. A similar situation occurred with respect to Bedford County where my patriarch George lived in Cumberland Valley Township and most of his descendants were associated with Cumberland and Alco rather than Bedford. Darius To: MDALLEGA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MDALLEGA] Daniel Crawfis m. Amy Brant In reading the March 2007 issue of the Old Pike Post I notice a marriage September 1835 between Daniel Crawfis and Amy Brant, does anyone know of these families? Or does anyone have these two in their genelogy line? Pat ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
