"Patrick Crawford was a man of sound sense, great energy and persevering industry, and accumulated a good estate." A long article on the Crawford Family was in John Lewis Peyton's History of Augusta County, Virginia, by Samuel M. Yost & Son, Staunton, VA, 1882, p 314-315. Brothers, Alexander and Patrick were presumed to have been native of the north of Ireland. Patrick lived on the farm lying on Middle river, east of the macadamized turnpike, now owned by his descendant, John H Crawford (in 1902). His wife was Sally Wilson (sic) and they had "9" children, 4 sons and 5 daughters. In 1756, Patrick was a member of Capt. James Allen's company of militia, and at a court-martial held 2 Sept 1757, he was finwed for not appearing at a general muster. His will was proved in the (Augusta) County Court on 18 Dec 1787, and his personal estate, including slaves, amounted to £2,462, 3 shilling and 7 pence, about $8,216. "In regard to several of his daughters, much confusion and uncertainty exists. Elizabeth, the oldest child, and wife of Alexander Robinson, is said to have been born Oct. 18, 1751, although the Rev. John Craig baptized Martha, daughter of Patrick Crawford, in Nov. 1748. The probability is that this child, Martha, died in infancy and that another born later was called by the same name. The next daughter Margaret, or Peggy, was the first wife of her cousin, John Crawford, of North Mountain. One daughter is said to have married a McChesney, - her father refers in his will to his grandson, George McChesney. Another daughter, Sarah, married Robert Crawford. Martha, born May 10, 1761, was the second wife of Colonel Andrew Anderson (on 13 Mar 1788 in Augusta Co.); Mary, or Polly, the youngest daughter, was the wife of James Crawford...." The sons were: I) George Crawford, to whom his father left the plantation on which he resided. He was born Oct. 1, 1754, and married Nancy Winter (on 23 Jun 1789 in Augusta Co., VA). Mrs. Crawford's parents were William and Ann Boone WInter, the latter an aunt of Daniel Boone. Elizabeth WInter, a sister of Mrs. Crawford, married Abraham Lincoln, the grandfather of President Lincoln; and Hannah Winter..." 2) Major John Crawford was born 29 Mar 29, 1764. He married Rebecca Allen (on 5 Jul 1791 in Augusta Co.), daughter of Capt James Allen.... 3) William Crawford was born 6 Aug 1767, married Nancy Smith and they resided in Rockingham County.... 4) James Crawford, also born Aug 1767, died unmarried. Joseph Addison Waddell's Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, 1726-1871, Staunton, VA, 1902, has data on the Crawford family, p 205-209. Source has more data. Was there a connection with the following family? On 24-25 July 1740, Patrick Crawford; also for Ann, James, George, Margaret, Mary, all proved their importations from Great Britain at their own expense, in then Orange Co., VA. Parts of this county became Augusta Co., VA. Source: History of Rockbridge Co., VA by Oren F. Morton, Staunton, McClure Co., 1920, p 456 Patrick Crawford died before 1 Dec 1787 in Augusta Co., VA. According to genealogist and compiler, Katharine G. Bushman's Register of Soldiers of the American Revolution Who Died and Lie Buried in Augusta Co., Virginia, 1988. She worked closely with the Augusta Co. Court House, where she was well known. He has a newer white grass marker, placed next to his son, Major John Crawford's elevated tomb. These dates appear to have been researched but unknown if proved. The new marker says: PATRICK CRAWFORD REV. SOLDIER 1723 -- 1787 HIS WIFE SARAH WILLSON 1726 -- 1787 MARRIED --1747
