Golden Legacy

Does your family throw a big parties? Have you had the good fortune to celebrate Golden Anniversaries in your family?

My first exposure to a Golden Anniversary celebration was for my grandparents: Leon and Winnie Crawford.

My grandparents celebrated with a reception held in the church.

Miss Winnie Currey became the Bride

of Leon Crawford Wednesday

Leon R. Crawford and Miss Winnie Currey were married here Wednesday. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride’s brother at 712 Military avenue by the Reverend C. M. Gray at 7 o’clock Wednesday evening.

Mr. Crawford is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Crawford of 504 Avenue G. He has lived here since boyhood, was educated here and a few months ago was discharged from an honorable service with the army in the World War. 

The bride is well known among the younger set here and is greatly admired by all her acquaintances.

Only relatives of the couple witnessed the ceremony Wednesday evening, but since that time they have been receiving many congratulations from their numerous friends here.

DNA ThruLines Potential Breakthroush

Did you hear all about it yesterday? Both Ancestry and My Heritage announced new DNA tools. That combined with Diahan Southard’s ‘Connecting Your DNA Matches’ presentation that was live streamed by RootsTech made for a BIG day in my DNA world.

In Diahan’s session, she discussed using Blaine Bettinger’s Shared Centimorgan Project to help verify relationships suggested by DNA. Even though I was aware of and had contributed to Blaine’s project, I had never used the results to analyze my cousin matches. During her presentation, Diahan talked about using a spreadsheet to keep track of this data. 

Thus, I tried to create my own spreadsheet based on Diahan’s presentation. So far, I haven’t found any ‘surprises’ in the amount of shared DNA. However, I am finding an advantage to this type of spreadsheet for DNA matches. This type of spreadsheet will help me keep track of how I am related to my matches. Below is an image from my new spreadsheet. I have blacked out the identifying information for my matches.

While working on this spreadsheet, I was also going thru my Ancestry DNA ‘ThruLines’. As I progressed thru the generations on my CRAWFORD line, I made a couple of discoveries. First, the DNA thru line for my 3rd great grandfather, Nelson Crawford, only showed matches thru my 2nd great grandfather, Washington Marion Crawford. 

It did not show any DNA matches thru any of the other children of Nelson. This would explain why we never had a DNA circle for Nelson! I have Nelson’s children and grandchildren in my tree. 

At this point, I only have two explanations as to why matches aren’t showing thru any of Nelson’s other children. The first is that no descendant thru those lines has tested. The only other explanation I have is that some trees have those other children listed as descendants of James and Martha Crawford of Warren County, Indiana and not as descendants of Nelson Crawford. This second theory will require investigating!

As I made my way back another generation on my Crawford line to James Crawford of Preble County, Ohio, I discovered another potential granddaughter!

DNA Thru Lines suggested THREE potential DNA matches AND pulled data from two OTHER trees. When I looked at one of those other trees, I discovered Matilda Caroline Stoner as the mother of William Edward Fields. According to the ThruLines tree, Matilda Stoner would be a daughter to Polly Crawford and a granddaughter of James Crawford. I don’t have Matilda Stoner in my tree. However, she could be a daughter of Polly Crawford that I’ve missed in my research. Thus, I’ve contacted all three matches and the tree owners to see if they can help verify or disprove this connection. 

These may be little clues, but they are clues I would never have found prior to Ancestry’s DNA ThruLines. Try it for yourself and see what you can discover!

John Crawford Clue

Have you ever run across a little tiny clue that changes your entire thinking about family members?

Well, I may have run across just such a clue for my Crawford family members in early Lincoln County, Kentucky. In the 1783-1786 Court Order book for the Lincoln County Supreme Court of Kentucky (Family Search film 551323), I found mention of a deed for John and William Crawford on image 69.

Present
The Same judges as yesterday

The Heirs of John McClelland plts

Upon a Caveat
Ordered that the former order herein be set aside and that
the first be discontinued

So, who are John and William Crawford — and — are they the same as the John and William Crawfords I already have discovered in the area?

John Crawford

• listed on Lincoln County, KY tax lists for 1787, 1789, 1790, 1791, 1792 and 1795
• patented 913 acres of land on Hanging Fork of Dick’s River
• Power of Attorney deeds suggest that John Crawford did not have children

William Crawford

• listed on the Garrard County, KY tax list for 1797
• Tax list indicates that William Crawford owned 180 acres of land originally patented to John Kennedy

William Crawford is believed to be the brother of James Crawford

• Listed on the Garrard County KY tax list for 1797
• Tax list indicates that James Crawford owned 146 acres of land on Paint Lick Creek
• Married to Rebecca Anderson Maxwell
• Migrated to Indiana

Two Crawford widows, Rebekah and Mary, are also listed on these early tax lists. These widows are believed to be sister-in-laws to James and William of the Paint Lick area. 

Based on previous research of the family, it has been theorized that Rebekah’s husband was John Crawford – and possibly the John Crawford that died in 1779 in Montgomery County, Virginia.

If the William Crawford in this court document is the same William Crawford shown on tax lists with land along the Paint Lick Creek, then it is possible that the John Crawford in this court document is his brother. This would mean that Rebekah Crawford’s husband was not John Crawford, brother of William and James.

There are a lot of ‘IFs’ here and more documentation is needed, but at this time, I believe that John Crawford of Hanging Fork in Lincoln County may be the brother of James and William Crawford.

Lincoln County Taxes

Do you find little clues in tax records? When I reviewed the Lincoln County Kentucky tax records, I made some discoveries that are helping my CRAWFORD research in the area.

• Discovered John Crawford — who owned 913 acres of land
• Sellers families listed beginning in 1787
• Rebekah Crawford (widow) listed in 1787-1791
• James Crawford owning 114 acres of land  on Sugar Creek (same description as land owned by Rebekah Crawford) in 1794
• Douglas families listed  beginning in 1789

1795 Mystery

• William Crafort – 500 acres Richland Creek

1799 Mysteries:

• James Crawford — 100 acres on Rolling Forks
• Robert Crawford — 200 acres

Venture into Court Records

Do you try and find every record you could on an ancestor? I used to think that I did. However, I have to admit that I haven’t always researched all available records for a community. I often stop with the indexed records and often avoid those non-indexed records.

It turns out I likely need to be  using those records. A local historian from the Garrard County, Kentucky area contacted me last week. She had seen my blog post about not finding land records for the SELLERS families in the area. She provided lots of hints. One was a rumor that the Sellers acquired their land in Garrard County by trading a horse for it. She said that if the rumor was true, I might not find a deed. Another hint was to dig thru the court records — especially since there were a lot of legal battles over Kentucky land.

So, I’ve started my journey into court records.

I’ve started with the Madison County, Kentucky Court of Quarter Sessions. These court documents have been filmed and are available on the Family Search site — and there is even an index to them!

Barren

Have you ever re-looked at some tax records and discovered that you can now figure out who these people might be when before they were just a list of names found in that county?

Well, that has been my experience as I’m going back thru some of my Crawford Kentucky research in hopes that it leads me back another generation.

I’ve recently re-looked at Madison, Lincoln and Garrard county tax lists and combined with land records, I have a much better understanding of who the various Crawfords listed in these tax roles are. Since I have deeds indicating James Crawford (husband of Martha Knight) lived in Barren County, Kentucky, I decided to re-look at those tax records.

I first searched the Barren County KY tax lists some time ago. Based on the “V20-0014” notation on my notes, I’m guessing I used the American Genealogical Lending Library to research these records at home.

Unfortunately, at the time, I didn’t know enough about the family for this information to help me.

Since that time, I’ve discovered a couple of land records that place James Crawford in Barren County, KY. The first one I found was for the sale of 200 acres of land on the Marrowbone in 1821. The second deed was for the sale of Rebecca (Rebekah) Crawford’s land in Garrard County, KY in 1804.

These deeds and my additional knowledge about the families and neighbors has made easier for me to figure out the Barren County, KY tax records.

• David Crawford who is listed in 1799 and later is an unknown (image 10)
• James Crawford who is found on image 31 with 200 acres on the Marrowbone
• The Dooley and Douglass families are found in these early tax lists.
• By 1800, James Crawford owned an additional 50 acres on the Marrowbone and 200 acres in Cumberland County (image 67)
• By 1802 William Sellers is listed with 100 acres of land in Barren County (image 141)
• By 1802, there is a second James Crawford (image 119)
• By 1805 James Crawford Jr is listed with 50 acres of land on the Marrowbone (image 275)
• By 1806, William Sellers is no longer listed as owning land on the Marrowbone. There is a James Crawford owning 50 acres of land on the Marrowbone (image 335)
• In 1806, there is a James Crawfford owning 190 acres of land on the East Fork of the Barren River (image 372)
• By 1808, no Crawfords are listed owning land on the Marrowbone

Based on this information, I’ve developed some theories:

• James Crawford shown in the tax list owning 200 acres on the Marrowbone is the James Crawford who sold 200 acres of land on the Marrowbone in 1821
• James Crawford listed as ‘little’ or ‘junior’ is the other James Crawford who migrated to Preble County – the one married to Sally Smith Duggins
• William Sellers is the William Sellers who purchased land in Ohio as a tenant in common with James Crawford
• The Dooley and Douglas families in the Barren County tax records are the same Dooley and Douglas families from Garrard County, KY
• James and Martha left Barren County earlier than James and Sally – thus arriving in Preble County earlier 

I will need to find land and/or court records to help prove these theories.

Barren County Connection

Have you ever questioned whether an ancestor lived in a certain place because the migration path was illogical?

Well, that is the case with our Crawford research. James Crawford and Martha Knight were married in Lincoln County, KY in 1793. James Crawford and Sally Duggins were married in Garrard County, KY in 1799. Both families migrated to Preble County, Ohio.

So when clues pointed to at least one of them being in Barren County, KY (South of Lincoln and Garrard), those clues were questioned because it seemed illogical for these couples to migrate South before migrating North to Ohio.

That gut feeling was proven incorrect when a Barren County deed was discovered. This 1821 deed was for the sale of land by a James Crawford of Preble County, Ohio. Records place both James Crawfords in Preble County, Ohio at the time. So far, no record has been found for a third James Crawford in Preble County, Ohio in 1821.

Since the deed identifies the wife of James Crawford as Martha, this deed places James and Martha owning land in Barren County, KY. Another set of deeds for the sale of land in Garrard County, KY by Rebecca Crawford and James Crawford, both of Barren County, provide additional evidence that James Crawford was in Barren County, KY (See Rebekah’s Land)

Arrival in Ohio

Have you ever ‘lost’ an ancestor for a period of time? That’s my situation with my ancestor, James Crawford.

James and Sally Duggins are married in Garrard County, Kentucky in 1799. In 1813, there is a land record where James Crawford has made full payment for the NW 1/4 of Section 14, Township 7, Range 2. Thus, I’m trying to figure out where James and Sally were living shortly after their marriage. The county history suggests that James was living in Preble county by 1810. Unfortunately, there are TWO James Crawfords living near each other. This makes it difficult to determine which James Crawford is being referenced.

Since Kentucky tax lists have been helping me figure out who was living where in Lincoln, Garrard and Madison counties. Unfortunately, the Preble County, Ohio tax lists do not begin until 1816.

However, these tax lists contain two clues that I overlooked the first time I used them.

• James Crawford owning the NORTHWEST quarter of Section 14, Township 7, Range 2 appeared on the tax lists at a later time than the James Crawford owning the SOUTHWEST quarter of the same section
• The James Crawford owning the NORTHWEST quarter was referred to as James Crawford Junior

When I first used these tax lists, I likely hadn’t figured out who owned which piece of ground. That knowledge is essential to understanding these tax lists.

• James Crawford and Sally Duggins purchased the NW 1/2 of Section 14, Township 7, Range 2 as tenants in common with William Sellers in 1813.
• James Crawford and Martha Knight purchased the SW 1/4 Section 14, Township 7, Range 2 in 1811

These tax lists reinforced what I and other researchers have assumed:
My James Crawford ancestor was the one referred to as Junior
Unfortunately, I still don’t know where James and Sally were living between 1799 and 1813.

Lincoln County Mystery

Do you have same name issues in your genealogy research? Or, do you have ‘mystery men’ of the same surname in the same location as your ancestor?

That’s what happened when I looked at the Lincoln County, Kentucky tax lists for 1787-1805.

I had found Lincoln County KY marriage bonds where Rebekah Crawford gave permission for Mary Crawford to marry James Sellers and Sarah Crawford to marry William David Sellers. Another marriage bond secured by Nathan Douglas and James Crawford for the marriage of James Crawford and Martha Knight was found in Lincoln County, KY records.

Thus, I was expecting to find the following:

• Sellers family
• Rebekah Crawford
• George Douglass — who sold land to Rebekah Crawford and may be her brother
• Nathan Douglass — who signed the bond for James Crawford
• James Crawford — who is believed to have turned 21 in 1792

I was not expecting to find:

• John Crofford
• Alexander Crofford
• William Crafort on Richland Creek
• James Crawford on Rolling Forks
• Robert Crawford on Hanging Fork 
• Ellis Richard (and other Ellis families) on Noland Fork

I’ve been able to locate land records for John Crofford. By following the land records, it appears that John Crofford may not have had any offspring. The land records contain powers of attorney for Ellis family members – which might help me locate information on Richard, James and Isaac Ellis.

These unexpected finds will require additional research but may provide clues to my Crawford lineage.
