General Notes: Husband - John Crawford, Sr.
He was one of the first settlers in Greene County, Pennsylvania, moving thence to Butler County and eventually to Venango County, where in 1797 he made a permanent settlement in Allegheny Township (then comprising most of the county), on the Allegheny River below Emlenton. The tract of four hundred acres which he had entered as his homestead extended on the west into Butler County, on the east into Armstrong County, lying in what is now the extreme southern portion of Venango. The first year, assisted by several of his sons, he made a small clearing and planted a crop on what afterward became the homestead farm, two miles south of Emlenton (at what was later the home of William T. Crawford), and the following year brought most of his family. Some of the married sons remained for a time in Greene County, but eventually all except Alexander secured homes in the vicinity of the paternal residence. [HVC 1919, 506]
The family were Presbyterians, and were represented in the session of Scrubgrass Presbyterian Church since its organization. John Crawford, the father, helped to choose the site and build the first schoolhouse at Lowe cemetery, a half mile south of Crawford Corners. [HVC 1919, 506]
He was the father of a large family. Most of his sons settled in Venango County, Pennsylvania, and in Ohio; and two, James and Samuel, in Butler County.
