  Will	11 Feb 1852	Harrison Co., IN   [3]
  	The will of William Crawford was written in February of 1852 and proved on November 16, 1852. The provisions of the will are as follows: All of his home farm (followed by legal description) to son Johnathan Crawford and his children and their heirs. Johnathan, in consideration of this is to keep and maintain his mother in a comfortable manner during her life and to bury her without charge after her death. To the children of his son Lewis he directs the executor to purchase land in the sum of three hundred dollars to be held by them and their heirs. Money to come from the sale of his personal property. To his son William he gives two hundred pounds of bacon. The residual of his personal estate is divided between his daughters Nancy Eckard and Rebecca Flanagan equally. Not mentioned in this will are the children of his deceased son John, our ancester being a 12 year old orphan at the time. Son Josiah and daughter Elizabeth are not mentioned either. I had assumed that Lewis Crawford was dead, given the mention of his children but I find him in the 1860 census in Taylor, Harrison, IN with his wife Catherine and two children.
