General Notes: Husband - Alexander Bremmer Crawford


Being the eldest member of the family his services were required on the homestead farm until he was twenty-three years of age. Meantime, however, he attended the old-fashioned pioneer log school house at intervals, and there acquired a rudimental English education. At the age of twenty-three he began to learn the carpenter's trade, and pursued that calling without interruption in Venango and adjoining counties for half a century. In 1842, he became a resident of Emlenton, which at that time contained only about half a dozen families.
In 1836 Mr. Crawford cast his first presidential ballot for Harrison, and in 1888 he voted for Benjamin Harrison, the grandson of “Tippecanoe.” All his life he was identi­fied with the Whig and Republican parties, and followed the general bent of the Crawfords in adhering to the Presbyterian faith. The evening of their days he and his wife spend in their quiet Emlenton home. [HVC 1890, 938]


Notes: Marriage

They were married in 1843. [HVC 1879, 547]
