Crawley family in South Boston, VA

rpbarbee — 2012-05-18 16:08:26Z

I am researching Crawley relatives from South Boston, VA (Halifax Co.), once known as Black Walnut, VA. My grandmother, Mary Frances Crawley was born to Issac "Ike" Crawley and Ethel Satisfield Crawley. They also had 3 other children, Clarence Wendell, Hucles and Alexander. Ike's brother was Joseph Daniel Crawley. Ike and Joseph's father, Alex owned 500 acres of land for his family and I believe also owned a large funeral home business. Clarence moved to Mt. Union, PA until his death; Hucles and Alexander remained in South Boston on the Crawley land until their deaths. My grandmother resides in Arlington, VA. If these relatives sound familiar, please reply.

I am beginning some research on my family and came across your post where you mention an Edward Crawley, son of Clarence Crawley and Lola Guthrie. My grandmother, Mary Frances Crawley is the sister of Clarence Wendell Crawley who married Lola Guthrie. My grandmother's family is from Halifax Co. (South Boston) VA. Their parents were Issac "Ike" Crawley and Ethel Satisfield Crawley. I would like to obtain any info you may have to help me search futher, and I may be able to help you as well. Please feel fre to email me directly at rpbarbee@hotmail.com Thanks!

Re: Henry Humphrey Crawley born abt 1835

maribzf — 2012-05-16 00:25:10Z

Have you found any more evidence of Henry Humphrey Crawley who married Eliza J./Liza Jane Higginbottom/Higginbotham? Was he the son of Caswell Crawley and one of his wives, namely Susan Grove/Gose/Goss? One list from Uncle Carl Killion lists Caswell as "Casral," but I think Caswell is pretty well documented as the proper spelling. I think the family story is that they Henry and Liza Jane divorced, and Eliza went back to Ohio. These Crawleys supposedly descend from Henry Robert Crawley and Mary (Shockley Crawley who are buried with other family members in the Hanna Street Cemetery a/k/a Blackstock Cemetery and a/k/a Old Greencastle City Cemetery. The cemetery has many names but it is on the edge of the DePauw University by the football field. --Maribeth, Indianapolis

Re: crawley surname

DarrellD — 2012-04-22 06:01:05Z

Yes - I would love to share information, photos, etc. We're still looking for origins and family connections of Crawleys who came to GA from "Tar Creek", NC around 1809. Their offsprings' names included the usual James, John, William, George, Henry, Charles, David, and Sarah (makes it tough to distinguish), but a little less commonly used: Sanders, Turner, Zachariah, Kisiah, Lucy, and BIRD. Related local family surnames included: Green, Futral, Rogers, Hammond, Pilkington, Coleman, and lots more. I'll get some details together for you.

I'm connected to the Crawleys through Major David Crawley and Mary Pitts Wilson. Their daughter Martha Josephine Crawley married William Pace Casey and they're my g g grandparents. My grandfather,Arland Casey, is their grandson. There were 5 Casey brothers and he's the only one left. We've got a lot of Crawley pictures but I have little info. I would love to hear what you have on the Crawley side!

It owould be real great, if you could put in a rough date and possibly where they might have lived, this would say people unnecessarily opening messages that did not belong to them.

Re: JOHN CRAWLEY

spencerdog11 — 2011-12-28 14:31:59Z

John, Nice to hear from you. Thomas S. served in the civil war as you noted. He was in the battle at Kennesaw, Ga, and others before that, but from that point on, he was in the knoxsville hospital for illness. I have is actual miltary field records. He also returned home in Franklin for a period of time, than re-joined his 123rd in Carolina for the last 2 months of the war. He sat out most of the war. I visited the Indy War museum and can find no record of the flag incident. He also had his rank reduced to private, and was cited as a coward at Kennewaw.

His first wife died about a month before he was mustered (drafted) into the army, leaving 2 children at home. I have not found any record of Thomas participating in the GAR organization. I would appreciate a copy of his pension and any photos you have of him or others.

Regarding the early Crawley line, it is plausable that they moved to Stokes County on land given as a reward for serving in the American Revolution. There are several Crawley men that served in the Virg. army during the reveloution. Stokes County is adjacent to the Virg. border. I hope that someone can explore this. Regards, Bob Gibbs

Re: JOHN CRAWLEY

loise1954 — 2011-12-28 05:59:52Z

Bob, I would be very much interested in the info on Thomas. I'm not a descendent of his, but I'm sure it will help w/ the info that I am looking for. I descend thru his older brother Milton Ladd from Franklin co., IN.

Looking for Relatives of Juliana/Julia Crawley

pamic1 — 2011-12-16 04:47:12Z

Juliana was born around 1865 St Giles London. She married in 1897 to Thomas Wood. He was born around 1868 in Kensington London. They had 3 boys by the 1911 census William ( maybe Patrick ) born 1898 St Martin's, Percy Antony born 10/31/99 Tooting and Walter born 1902 Kennington London. When she married Thomas she already had 2 girls Daisy born 1887 Soho London and Julia born 1894 St Giles London. I have a copy of Percy's baptism which is where I got some of the information. The baptism was at St Boniface RC church Tooting. Anyone recognise this group.

Re: African American Crawley's

1_kerilew — 2011-12-07 09:35:18Z

My grandfather David Crawley was born in 1896 in South Boston, VA (Halifax County). Based on the census research I have completed, I found out that David's father Elias Crawley was born 1864 and Elias' father, Stephen, was born in 1820. My grandfather moved from VA and moved to Philadelphia before WWI. Many others from Halifax County also settled in the Philadelphia. I would be interested in learning more about your Crawley relatives from South Boston.

Re: Laura Bell Crawley Born in 1864

maribzf — 2011-11-20 06:54:26Z

I should have said that Laura Bell (Crawley) Killion resided in Putnam and later Parke Counties, IN. Not sure about Clay County, but the small spot on the map called "Diamond" which has nearly disappeared in the post coal mining era in the neighborhood is in Parke County, not Clay, and she was resident there at the time of her death. MbF

Re: Laura Bell Crawley Born in 1864

maribzf — 2011-11-16 18:02:32Z

Henry and Mary Crawley are perhaps her GRANDparents...not her parents, presumably the Henry R. and Mary (Shockley) CRAWLEY buried in Old Greencastle Cemetery near the DePauw campus. I am still working on parentage. Also, I have confirmed through family sources that she did not use the final "e" on Bell. This Laura Bell Crawley married Sylvester ("Wes") Killion and resided in both Putnam and Clay Counties, IN. There was a Bell family living in the same part of Putnam County per census, but no known family connection to the middle name.

Do you have info on her parents? --MbF

Re: Clanton and Craley families

KLLADY — 2011-10-06 02:31:04Z

This is my family also.

James Crawley and Anna Martin are William Crawley's parents. Check 1850 Census record for White Co., Tennessee and you will find the Crawley family. Living near them will be William and Susan Martin. They are Anna's(Her name is spelled different on census)parents.

A lot of your Crawley family are buried in the Fall Creek Cemetery at Strickler, Arkansas.

William Stephen/Samuel Crawley was the son of James and Anna(Martin) Crawley. William was married twice.
1st wife was to Ibba Burgess daughter of George Washington "Wash" Burgess and Charlotte/Charlotta McBride.
2nd wife Marguretta Presley

William S. Crawley was the brother of Solomon R. Crawley/Crowley. Solomon R. married Ibba Burgess' sister Mary Burgess and they were my great grandparents.

Solomon came to Augusta, Butler Co. Kansas and changed the spelling of his name to CROWLEY. My Grandfather was Winfield Scott Crowley who married Una Mary Cloud in Augusta, Butler Co., Kansas.
Their daughter Mildred Una was my Mother and she married Gilbert Franklin Davis in 1936, in Douglass, Butler Co., Kansas.

My daughter and I came to Arkansas and met some of the relatives several years ago. A couple years later we returned and brought my niece and daughter-in-law with us.
There is a grave stone in the Strickler Cem. for William S. and both his wives.

I have some information on the Clanton family that married into the Crawley family.

You probably have your answer already, but just in case you don't:
I am not certain if these are the same Samuel/Thomas. The info I have is that they were brothers. I don't know the father, I'm trying to get there. Samuel was the father of Samuel L, who moved to KY. Jerry McClure, jmac23@ipa.net, is a decendate of Thomas and apparently has a lot of info. Mike Gough, ltcolmichaelj@bellsouth.net has info from Samuel. I have copies of both mens' descendants, if you need it, but check with Mike who has it in "sendable" form. Annette Crawley Limoges

Re: Samuel Crawley of Rev War

texasane — 2011-09-09 02:56:14Z

Did this Samuel Crawley have a brother, Thomas, also of Rev War "fame?" Did he have a son, Samuel L.? If so, do you have any other info on him? Thanks. Annette Crawley Limoges

Re: Crawley

If you haven't done it already, contact Jerry McClure (see previous listings in the messages) or Mike Gough (ltcolmichaelj@bellsouth.com). They both have lots on info. I know I've seen a number of postings about Mourning Crawley, but since she's not in my line, I haven't pursued it. Check with Mike. Annette Crawley Limoges

Jeremiah Crawley born about 1842 - Correction

NicolaBrown505 — 2011-08-25 12:19:06Z

Should have said that Jeremiah Crawley married Mary Linahan on 9th April 1864 in Cardiff, NOT 1866.

Jeremiah Crawley born about 1842 Bandon, Ireland, son of Timothy Crawley

NicolaBrown505 — 2011-08-25 12:16:40Z

Looking for family of Jeremiah Crawley born about 1842 in Bandon, Co. Cork, Ireland. His father was Timothy Crawley and he was a blacksmith. Jeremiah lived at 18 Rodney Street, Cardiff, Wales before he married Mary Linahan in 1866 in Cardiff. Believe Timothy could have been deceased at the time of Jeremiah's marriage. Jeremiah came to England/Wales sometime after his birth and before he married Mary. There was a story that a member of his family fell off the ship on arrival in England and died. Could this have been his father Timothy. Don't know anymore about his family. Can anyone help? Mary Linahan's father was Peter and was a baker.

DOB 1852; DOM 3/12/1884; DOD 11/20/1930, buried in Forest Lawn Cem, Glendale (LA), CA. Children: Ralph William, 1885-1924, Knight Masterson, 1893-1938, Paul Samuel, 1886- 1939, and Ruth Hazel, 1889-1970. Have more info if this is your Emma.

Hi, I am also trying to trace Crawley's as well, my grandfather was a Herbert A Crawley b 1879,he was christened in Kensington Middlesex, England.
His father was James Arthur Crawley and his wife Alice Morrison.
Herbert also had brothers and sisters but have no idea of them. My grandfather we believe came to Cairns, Queensland, Australia around 1910 and may have served in the Boer War, this again have no info on. My mother Olive was born in 1914 in again Cairns, anyone who has English connections that could find more info on them would be appreciated, as I am living in Queensland Australia and do not have idea as to where to look in England.

Looking for children of John Crawley who married Agnes Spellman in New York Fity in 1933. They went back to England where John supposedly worked for the railroad. He was crushed between 2 trains (supposedly). They had a daughter, Joan, who came to America in the 1950s or 1960s and lived in Connecticut and worked for a doctor there. They also had a few boys.

Agnes was born in NYC in 1911, parents were William A. Spellman (1880-1913) and Mary O'Neill Spellman Hyland (1880-1923). Agnes grew up in a Catholic orphanage in Peekskill, NY.

I am researching for Agnes' nephew who lives in New Jersey.

I see your message has been hanging out there for a few years.

I'm trying to track down info in my great-grand mother, Mary Francis Derring-Crawley or Crawley-Derring. I think the Derring-Crawley thing is that one is her maiden name, and the other might be a step father's name. Her mother was Louisa Mae White, who married a John Derring, but don't know if that was Louisa's second husband or maybe first.

If you've been able to crack any of the Kentucky nuts, I'd be interested in seeing what you know. Thanks.
