Hi Linda, Can you access Footnotes.com? In the area under Pennsylvania Archives, if you do a search for Robert Crawford, you will find that he made an application for pay from the U.S. Government, at age 91, and to the state of PA, earlier, because of his Revolutionary War Service. He made the application evidently because his land was poor. Hope this helps. I think the PA Archives are free.
