General Notes: Husband - John Parker Crawford


He was reared in Armstrong County, PA, and attended a district school two miles from his early home. In 1837-38 he engaged in farming and lumbering with his father. Subse­quently he learned the trade of carpenter, and pursued this calling from 1840 to 1851 at Brady's Bend. After an absence of fifteen months on the Pacific coast, during which time he was interested in several mining vent­ures with fair success, he opened a store at Harrisville, Butler county. In 1860 he removed to Crawford's Corners, and after 1867 the oil business received much of his attention. Politically Mr. Crawford was a Republican. The family, like all the ancestry, were adherents of the Presbyterian church. [HVC 1890, 968]

He and his brothers Ebenezer, William R., Robert J. and Samuel W., went to California in 1850, making the journey overland. All returned safely, pursued trades, became merchants and were large owners of oil and gas lands.


General Notes: Wife - Barbara Ellen Hicks


She lived at Nantes, France, until the age of ten years, when her parents immigrated to Orange County, NY.
