Notes

  • Cited in the Blust-Reed genealogy, Genealogies of Kentucky Families(Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc, 1981), p 138:
    "John Crawford, a Scotchman, emigrated to Virginia.  He lost his lifein the Indian Campaign of Bacon's Rebellion.  He was the youngest sonof Earl Crawford.  He had only one son, David.  He received a landgrant from Governor Berkley."
    --  Blust-Reed,http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm?cgi?op=GET&db=kardiblust&id=I3493

    Another genealogy from Patricia Causey provides more details on John:
    John Crawford, b 1600, Ayrshire, Scotland, d 1676 in Bacon's Rebellion
    He came to Jamestown in 1643 with his son David
    Spouse unknown.  David b 1625 in Ayrshire, Scotland
    --  Patricia Causey,http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm?cgi?op=GET&db=:2124521&id=I516395871

    Other genealogies add even further detail on John and his son David.Here is information from the Valleaux Family genealogy:
    John Crawford, b 1600, Ayrshire, Scotland, d 1676 in Virginia
    Spouse unknown
    Son David b 1625 in Kilburney, Ayrshire, Scotland
    --  , Valleaux Family,http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm?cgi?op=GET&db=valleaux&id=I05997

    Some genealogies report John's date of death as 1670, rather than1676.  Similarly several genealogies report the year of birth as 1606. I have not found public records that will clarify the birth or deathdates for John.

    The Salzar genealogy with this Crawford line reports the name andbirth information of John Crawford's wife:
    Margaret Cunningham
    Born Abt 1597 in Ayrshire, Scotland
    married John Crawford 1600-1676
    Child David Crawford Esq 1625-1710
    --  Crawfords in Salzar Family,http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/8170547/person/-926750066

    Other genealogies have more information on Margaret Cunningham, but Ihave had difficulty finding public record information on Margaret orJohn Crawford.  For more details on Margaret, see Notes for MargaretCunningham.

    Basic information is available on their son David.

    David Crawford
    b abt 1625 in Kilburney, Ayrshire, Scotland
    d 1704; wife Unknown
    children:  Elizabeth, Judith, Angelina, David, Capt b 1662
    --  Valleau Family,http://awtc.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm?cgi?op=GET&db=valleaux&id=I05996
