    Notes:

    Note:
    Sons of George and Elizabeth Crawford: George and Elizabeth Crawford apparently had two sons, Robert and William. William was a veteran of the American Revolution and received a land grant in Kentucky for his service after the war. Apparently, both brothers moved to Shelby County, KY. Many family trees I have found list William Crawford (the veteran) as the father of William Crawford (born in 1769 and died in 1852) who married Nancy Denbo. However, I believe that Robert was the father of the second William. Reasons: (1) The will of Robert Crawford (died about 1803-1804, Hardin County, KY) lists a William Crawford married to Nancy Denbow as an heir. If Robert had children of his own, it seems unlikely that he would name a nephew as an heir. From Diaspora-Vol.-3-No.-3-1996.pdf: "Deed “heirs of Robert Crawford”, included Robert and Marion Denbow, William Crawford and wife (Nancy Denbow), John Crawford and wife (Polly, daughter of Solomon Denbow), and William and Peggy Highfield. (2) The William Crawford who was a veteran of the American Revolution is listed as having been born in 1762 (d. 1839, Shelby County, KY) on an application for the Sons of the American Revolution, which would make him too young to have been the father of the other William Crawford. I found reference to the birth year of Robert Crawford as being 1750, so he was older and old enough to father the second William.

    Probate:
    Heirs of Robert Crawford included Robert and Marion (Crawford) Denbow; William and Nancy (Denbo) Crawford; John and Polly/Sally (Denbo) Crawford and William and Peggy Highfield.
