Let's see John's was Martha and Lawrence's was Margaret? right. I have always been curious about the Crow/Crawford connection indicated by this assistance. Do you know? >> I was looking for information for Peg on her DOWLER ancestors, and bumped into this family, which ties everyone together. The Crow and Crawford ties happened two generations after the Crow/Crawford relationship that Diane mentioned... but it seems the families remained quite close! Hope this helps.. I'll do my best!! William S. CROW born June 1, 1865 married Miss Ollie CRAWFORD.. (no info on Ollies parents though). Williams parents were Clarkson CROW (1825-1895) and Isabell WILKIN (1839-1908) Isabell's parents were RUEBEN WILKIN (1799-1882) and Bethsheba DOWLER(1808-1869). Bethsheba 's parent were Thomas and Elisabeth DOWLER. (William would be the Great grandson of Lawrence and Margaret (GREGG) CROW.) ...I'm in the mix too... Clark CROWS sister Eliza CROW (1813-1947) married my Great Granduncle, James DONALDSON (1810-1865). If you look hard enough, we're all related!! I know of two or three cousins on list (and one twin sister ... Hi Mary!) , but I'm sure we'll find more!
