Hello,
As yet, I can't find a connection between my CRAWFORDs and others on the
net, and am hoping someone could help me out. Thanks!

Here is what I have:

Aaron CRAWFORD (c. 1677 Ireland - 8/6/1754 Rutland, MA) m. Agnes WILSON
(c.1677 - 12/10/1760 Rutland, MA)

children:
Samuel (c 1705 IRL - 10/7/1760) m. Margaret MONTGOMERY
Martha (c 1706 IRL - 12/20/1795 Oakham, MA) m. James BELL
John (IRL - Palmer, MA)
Alexander (c 1710 IRL - 10/11/1793) m. Elizabeth CRAWFORD
Isabelle (America - died young)
Moses (America - ? ) never married
Mary (4/15/1721 Rutland, MA - ? Rutland, MA) m. William MCCOBB

I'm descendent from Mary CRAWFORD and James BELL (I'm having trouble with
the BELLs too!)
Here are some notes my father had for Aaron CRAWFORD:

"In 1713 there left the parish of Cappy, County of Tyrone, Ireland, for
Boston, in America, Aaron Crawford and his wife, Agnes (Wilson) Crawford.
Both were born in 1677. They brought with them four children: Samuel,
Martha, John and Alexander. After they came to America three other
children were born and named Isabelle, Moses and Mary. The family settled
in Rutland MA in 1719 and there Mary was born. Per Stearns: Aaron and
brother John, Scotish-Irish families, brought letters of dismissal from the
Presbyterian Church of Ardstraw, County Tyrone, Ireland. Their parents
came from Scotland to Ireland where the children were born.

Crawfords went from Scotland to County Tyrone before coming to America (per
"The Settlement & Story of Oakham, Mass.")"
