Thank you so much for all the info! I could never have
figured all that out by myself. It is so amazing to
find others in the Crowley family and to be able to
learn about our ancestors. If there is anything else
you could share with me I would truly appreciate it.
I don't have much to contribute yet but maybe I will
someday soon. I do have a picture of James W. and one
of Jemima Crowley if anyone would like a copy of that.
