I read at this site of George Washington's 1770 land survey winning in VA land court over Michael Cresap's 1774 [1773?] improvement,and the later Cresap's losing. Col WM Crawford,of Connellsville,Pa and ex-BERKLEY Co VA surveyor,and friend,GEORGE WASHINGTON,went down the Ohio as far as the BIG SANDY [KY-WV line] surveying in 1770.They were,in part,laying out military warrents given by VA for men serving under Washington in the 1754-58 FRENCH and Indian War period,plus,perhaps,Ohio Co lands. Col WM CRAWFORD led many to defeat in mid-1782,including my CAPT George Brown. Just read CRAWFORD's will abstract,where he willed son,LT JOHN CRAWFORD,"land down the Ohio River".Where was that land CRAWFORD willed?. I know where LT JOHN CRAWFORD forted,1789,at RICHARD GRAHAM's station,on the Ohio at Concord,Lewis Co,Ky, [ad then settled on the Ohio bank near Manchester.]But that is well below the BIG SANDY. 2 2ND,I read a long tree on the MINOR'S,to which there is much to learn,in the 1777-90 period,sw PA,and MISSISSIPPI. Does the author know of Col JAMES WILLING,and his gunboat"RATTLETRAP"
