Harriet, Maybe this can help in pinpointing the Crawford clan: Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia - Wednesday, April 5th, 1775. After dinner left Winchester and got to Rinker's Tavern 10 miles from Winchester. Captn. Douglas and Mr. Valentine Crawford came here this evening. They are going to Fort Pitt. Land is good from Winchester to this place. Thursday, April 6th, 1775. (We) left Rinkers in company with Captn. Douglas and Mr. Crawford. Breakfasted at the Dry Tavern, a little Dutch house, nothing to drink but Whiskey. Crossed the Cape Capon Creek and north branch of Potowmeck River. Captn. Douglas and Mr. Crawford left us. WE had travelled about 30 miles today over barren hills and bad ways,and we are now going to sellp in the open air, no other covering than the Heavens and our Blankets, and it is very cold and freezes. But we have a good fire. Nicholas was traveling with Mr. Gibbs and George Rice when he met up with Captn. Douglas and Valentine Crawford at Rinkers Tavern. George Rice was the brother-in-law of Zachariah Connell... John Nevelle gave Nicholas letters of introduction for the "neighborhood" of Fort Pitt. Think my typing is getting worse so will continue another time, when I am not so tired. Barbara
