My own Crawford line remained in Virginia in the Augusta County area. But, siblings of my line of Crawfords did indeed go to Lincoln County, Tennessee. I descended from Alexander and Mary (McPheeters) Crawford's son, William Crawford (1 June 1744 - 15 October 1792) and his wife, Rachel Sawyers (30 Apr 1750 - 4 Sept 1821). Though William and Rachel (I think) remained in Augusta County, Virginia, many of their children went to Howell, Lincoln County, Tennessee and are buried in the Crawford Family Cemetery there. A few of William's siblings had gone to Knoxville and then I believe on to Lincoln County. William's children later joined their couins there and in Lincoln County. Unfortunately, I haven't dug very deep into those lines, though I plan on doing so at some point. In a round about way of answering, my Crawford cousins went to Lincoln County but my main line of Crawfords remained in Augusta County. My line down from Alexander Crawford and Mary McPheeters is: Alexander Crawford & Mary McPheeters William Crawford & Rachel Sawyers Alexander Crawford & Rachel Lessley/Lesslie Rebecca Crawford & James Bell Margaret R. Bell & Jerome H.B. Sellers George W. Sellers & Scottie Gilkeson W.T. Sellers & Mary Jane Gum Dennis W. Sellers & Nancy Lee Berry ---> (Me) Michael Sellers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven J.
