Crawford Family and resources
I found, finally, the original documents I'd had for several years that belonged to my granmother on my mom's side of the family, concerning the Crawford family and her sources. Here is what is comprised of:
References are found in "North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register" by Hathaway.

Then there is a typewritten sheet containing exactly the same information. (The first sheet, written on the Blound Hardware letterhead, is hand-written, beautiful handwriting).
The chart that was included with these pages, I have entered the information from into my ancestry.com tree- which can be viewed at:
