Stephanie, There is some information on line about John Brice Crawford but none on Sarah. I only know her maiden name from her son's death certificate. Some people say that John Brice Crawford was the son of Peter Crawford but that is not supported by his will. The 1850 census is on the MSGenWeb site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~mswinsto/census/1850/pg0326b.txt Please note that the Butler's were recorded as Button's in this transcription. Peter Crawford's will and probate are on this page http://www.rootsweb.com/~mswinsto/probate/PROBATE.htm L. W. Adams and J. J. Adams are mentioned in the Peter Crawford probate document. You should do a search on "Adams" on the Winston Co. MSGenWeb page. There are many Adams references on the site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mswinsto/index.html Jerry Jerry L. Butler Winston Co.

That is exciting news about the Crawford/Butler families being near the Adams in 1850 and having a very similar "moving" pattern. In those days moving state to state was some big deal- one can only imagine, -and going with a group of friends or family was surely preferrable. I do not know my Milly Ann Adams' maiden name. She could easily have been a Crawford OR even a Butler. Have you searched the Crawford rootsweb list and the Genforum for Sarah and John Brice Crawford? Can you send me the Census listings to which you referred? Thanks, Sure hope we are on to something. regards Steph [email protected] ==== MSWINSTON Mailing List ==== We have archives!
