Due to family circumstances I have been unable to work much on my genealogy projects in the past couple years, but am now hoping to get back to work on some of my families that appeared unsolvable in the past. Persis STOWELL (1766-1839) was the daughter of Hezekiah STOWELL (1732-1802) and Hepzibah Persis RICE. Persis married John CRAWFORD probably in Chenango Co. NY about 1790. Their daughter Persis Crawford married William PIKE of Colesville, Broome, NY in 1819. I am still searching for information on the family of John CRAWFORD & Persis (STOWELL) CRAWFORD who had about 11 children. John Crawford was alive in 1815 when he and Persis deeded land to their son Joseph in the Afton/Bainbridge, NY area. Persis (Stowell) CRAWFORD died in 1839 and is buried in Afton, NY next to children Abigail and John who died as young adults. There are a number of STOWELL graves adjoining these. A sister of Persis, Betsey CRAWFORD, married Amos WILMOT and died about 1878 in IL. They lived in Sparta, Knox, Illinois. She also had a sister Rebecca who may have married James SHULL and may have lived near Betsey (Crawford) WILMOT. Levi CRAWFORD of Bainbridge may have been related; Andrew CRAWFORD that lived in Broome Co., NY may also have been related to John and Persis (Stowell) CRAWFORD. Jane Crawford was probably a sister and married Charles Lee GRINNELL who had first been married to Sally STOWELL, sister to Persis Stowell. Would like to exchange information with anyone researching these related families. These CRAWFORDs disappeared from Chenango Co. NY about 1840-50. Did they move to another State? Midwest? South? Some of the STOWELL relatives were lumberman in Wellsboro, Tioga, PA. Margaret Scheffler
