General Notes: Husband - James Morgan Crawford

---

He was born on the Morganza tract, in Washington County, Pennsylvania, was one year old when his parents moved to North Strabane Township and there he spent the greater part of his life. He occupied himself in youth and early manhood on the home farm, but when the Civil War broke out he determined to enter the army, and on September 6, 1862, enlisted in Co. D, 22nd Pa. Cav., known as the famous Ringgold Battery. For three years he endured the hardships of a soldier's life, facing almost constant danger, as he was detailed as a scout. He participated in some great battles, including Gettysburg, and was honorably discharged and mustered out on May 27, 1865. Later he was a member of Sergt. Thomas Paxton Post, G. A. R., at Canonsburg.
At the close of his military service Mr. Crawford entered the employ of a general farmer in Lee County, Iowa. He remained there for about eleven years and then returned to Washington County, Pennsylvania, his western employer having become bankrupt, which caused Mr. Crawford to lose several thousand dollars. He again worked as a farmer in his native county but finally retired to Canonsburg.
He has cast his vote with the Republican party beginning in 1862.
