General Notes: Husband - Thomas Crawford


Among the early settlers in what is now Cross Creek township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, were members of the Crawford family, whose earlier residence was in Maryland. Oliver and Thomas Crawford were the eldest two sons of Margaret Crawford, a widow, who lived at Kenick's Gig, in that State. When these two were but lads they were taken prisoners by Indians and carried into captivity, where they remained till Oliver was twenty and Thomas eighteen years of age, when they were brought back to their mother by an Indian trader.

He married about the year 1770, and in the spring of 1774, with his wife and two children and his aged mother, removed to Cross Creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and settled on the Hays farm, near the Beech Knob school-house. Here he commenced an improvement, and took up some two hundred and fifty acres of land. About the year 1778 he lost his aged mother, and soon after this he removed to another part of his land, where Thomas Andrew later resided. Here he lived till his death.

From he and his wife are descended the Stephensons, Marshalls, Creighs, Moores and many other extensive families settled in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
