Hello fellow researchers, Yes many came here to KS from Crawford Co. I am now finding out. My mother is a Wescott from Crawford Co., PA, from Amaziah Wescoat who moved from NY to Crawford Co., PA. He had a brother Lewis and also a son Isaac who we heard that they "moved west". Well, just this year I found Lewis in 1850 in Hillsdale Co., MI with a son Quinton. After tracing Quinton down I discovered he died here in Decatur Co., KS and I have a copy of his obit showing he was born in Crawford Co., PA!! Two weeks ago I was up to Decatur Co. and found Quinton's tombstone. Also at the same time I discovered Isaac was in Bureau Co., IL in 1850 with a son named Amariah who turns out to be Amaziah. Isaac died here in Nemaha Co., KS and his son Amaziah died in Bourbon Co., KS. I'm not sure why Isaac came to KS, but I know that Quinton came after the Civil War. The obit for Isaac states that he came in 1857. The gov't. was trying to settle KS so many came as homesteaders. Being that Isaac and Quinton were related is probably one other reason Quinton came. Yes, many people moved here, but not all could adjust. Betty Macdonald in Hays, KS having fun tracing her lost relatives here in KS.
