General Notes: Husband - Lawrence Crow


He and his wife were natives of Maryland, and in 1784 settled in Allen township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He applied for a patent August 31, 1784, and on December 16, same year, surveyed the tract called "Crow's Egg," which contained 295 acres, and became the permanent home of the Crow family, who lived there in block-houses for many years. [CBRWC, 367]

He came to America from Londonderry, Ireland, with his brother John, and each took up and patented a large tract of land in the eastern part of Washington County. Lawrence patented what was known as "Crow's Egg" about the year 1785. Upon his death the title to the larger portion of this land became vested in his son, William Crow. [TCHWWC, 1145]
