For Mary and Gwen - and whomever else is looking for this Crawford family:
Yes, Gwen - they actually DID exist! I am so happy to have finally found
them - I had given up twice when I decided to try Anderson County where
Harvey was living in 1880 - and sure enough:
1870 Anderson County, Kentucky - District 3 - PO Rough & Ready - July 23 &
25, 1870 - page 345
603 - Crawford, Samul, 21; Farm labor; /$100; born Tennessee
(This, from your list, should be Solomon, but definitely not the name
written. I can't swear that it is Samuel either, but is my best guess.)
Susan, age 40; keeping house; /$300; born Tennessee
Columbus, age 19; Farm labor; born Tennessee
William, age 16; Farm labor; born Tennessee
James W., age 13; Farm labor; born Tennessee
Richard B., age 12; born Tennessee
Harvey T., age 11; born Tennessee
Daniel, age 9; born Tennessee
Brownlow, age 7; born Tennessee
Sarah, age 5; born Tennessee
NOTE: School attendance not indicated for any of the above children
606 - Crawford, Jackson, age 27; Farm labor; /$100; born Tennessee
Sarah, age 26; keeping house; $400/; born Kentucky
(Sarah owns the real estate in the family. Inherited?)
Mary, age 11; born Kentucky; attended school within the year
Nancy, age 9; born Kentucky
Alice, age 6; born Kentucky
Jane, age 4; born Kentucky
Julia, age 2; born Kentucky
Elizabeth, age 7 months; born Kentucky (December)
Much luck to you both in your search,
Linda in Georgia
Genealogy is my ONLY business.
