My brother's BigY test recently verified what I and others have believed for a long time: that my James Crawford is somehow related to the James Crawford (1758-1836) of Garrard County, KY that was married to Rebecca Anderson. These results also indicates a relationship to Edward Crawford (1762-1826) of Overton, TN.</div>

If so, has the closure of libraries and Family History Centers impacted your ability to access those records? My answer to both questions is YES. Of course, I could be using Ancestry databases to research other branches of my tree, but the pull to research my Crawford line is very strong -- and that means accessing Virginia records.<br>
<br>
Even if the Family History Centers were open, I'm under a county 'Stay at Home' order. Thus, I'm digging thru my files from previous Virginia research to see if I can make pull any new information from that research.<br>
<br>
Out of curiosity, I searched my Crawford files to see if I had any records mentioning Overton, Tennessee. (One of my brother's BigY matches is to a Crawford family from Overton County, Tennessee.) Since I've never done any Tennessee research, I didn't expect to find much. Thus, I was surprised when I found a document titled: Crawford Families of Virginia and Overton County Tennessee.<br>
<br>
What I have is a scanned image of a photocopy. <br>

That's where I'm at with my Crawford research. I started with some marriage records from Augusta County, Virginia.<br>
<br>
Vogt John & T. William Kethley, <i>Augusta County Marriages, 1748-1850</i> (N.p.: Iberian Publishing Company, 1986).<br>
<br>
While reviewing these records, I found that I already had most of these Crawfords in my database. However, I often was missing their spouse and/or documentation of their marriage.<br>
<br>
In the process of re-looking at these records, I also took the time to find them on FamilySearch so I could see what other researchers might have on these families.<br>
<br>
Below are my notes for Crawford males and females married in Augusta County prior to 1801.<br>

<br>
Well that's been the case with my James Crawford research and I now have yDNA evidence to support that suspicion!<br>
<br>
My brothers yDNA has been placed in the R-Y88686 haplogroup. My first match was to descendants of Edward Crawford of Tennessee. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to verify that our two lines resided in the same area at the same time let alone discover a family connection.<br>

With today's notice of a new Big Y match, I now have a match with a familiar line. The new match is a descendant of James and Rebecca (Anderson) Crawford.<br>

With my Crawford research, my same name struggle has been with my ancestor, James Crawford (1772-1854).<br>
<br>
James is a common given name in Crawford research and my James seems to be surrounded by other James Crawfords during his adult life. Even though most of the time, I've been able to separate out the various families, I haven't been able to find siblings or parents for my James Crawford.<br>
<br>
However, I have encountered a lot of what I'm going to call 'latchkey' trees. With pre-1800 Crawford research in Virginia and surrounding areas, it is fairly easy to find published family histories for various Crawford lines. This would include David Crawford, Col. William Crawford and brothers, Alexander and Patrick Crawford. Since given names like James, John and Mary are found in many Crawford families, it is tempting to take a proven ancestor named James, John or Mary Crawford and 'latch' onto one of these families to identify parents of our ancestor.<br>
<br>

With my Crawford research centered in Kentucky and Virginia, I encounter a lot of trees for these early Kentucky Crawford families connecting to Alexander Crawford and his wife Mary McPheeters or to Alexander's brother Patrick. Some of these trees match the information in the well documented book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Descendants-Alexander-Mary-McPheeters-Crawford/dp/B0006E21JS" target="_blank">Descendants of Alexander and Mary McPheeters Crawford</a> by Amanda Forbes. Unfortunately, many trees lead back to Alexander and Mary McPheeters Crawford when the documents for the child in the tree contradicts known documentation for the family of Alexander Crawford.<br>

That's what I sometimes feel like when I research descendants of a Crawford who is not my ancestor.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CFev9m0hR_M/XkmmP5xMcNI/AAAAAAAAHlc/HHv3hFHknDsHu4M8pjARUuZHOywUAUrHQCEwYBhgL/s1600/yDNAhaplo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="155" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CFev9m0hR_M/XkmmP5xMcNI/AAAAAAAAHlc/HHv3hFHknDsHu4M8pjARUuZHOywUAUrHQCEwYBhgL/s320/yDNAhaplo.JPG" width="158"></a></div>
So yesterday, I was chasing my tail by researching the children of Edward Crawford (1762-1826) of Overton, Tennessee. Even though I don't have any paper research connecting my Crawford line to Edward or even to Overton County, Tennessee, there is a DNA connection. Descendants of Edward Crawford have also done a Big Y DNA test and we have been assigned the same branch of the Big Y Haplotree: R-Y88686.<br>
<br>
When I first received these DNA results, I couldn't find a connection between my Crawford family in Garrard County, Kentucky and Edward Crawford of Overton County, Tennessee. However, I remembered that I had found an Edward Crawford in the 1795 and 1796 tax lists for Madison County, Kentucky. Wondering whether the Edward Crawford in the tax lists of Madison County, KY is the same Edward Crawford who died in Overton County, TN.<br>
<br>
Thus, I've been researching the children and grandchildren of Edward Crawford of Overton County, Tennessee -- hoping to find some clue that would lead back to Kentucky. As I was finding records for Edward's children and their family, I was comparing my findings to the Edward Crawford [<span style="background-color: white; color: #333331; font-family: "verdana" , "ayuthaya" , "hanaminbfont" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap;">LD9R-8KW]</span> family on the FamilySearch tree. During this comparison, I discovered that other researchers believe that David Crawford [<span style="background-color: white; color: #333331; font-family: "verdana" , "ayuthaya" , "hanaminbfont" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; white-space: nowrap;">9KMN-WNK]</span>, son of Edward and Abigail (Trowbridge) Crawford was born in Clark County, Kentucky.<br>

Until an administrator of the Crawford yDNA project <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/708463899258022/permalink/2276873829083680/" target="_blank">posted directions</a> on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/708463899258022/" target="_blank">Clan Crawford Association Ancestry and DNA Research Forum</a> Facebook group, I didn't know anything about this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HWzvkXVd070/XkRWm7fW22I/AAAAAAAAHk4/92lS5tMs1SAI3y6tsCGOvxdIHDqgYtODgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Crawford.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="211" data-original-width="379" height="111" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HWzvkXVd070/XkRWm7fW22I/AAAAAAAAHk4/92lS5tMs1SAI3y6tsCGOvxdIHDqgYtODgCLcBGAsYHQ/s200/Crawford.PNG" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
To do this, one needs to <a href="https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Downloading-AncestryDNA-Raw-Data" target="_blank">download Ancestry DNA</a> and save the ZIP file in a known location. The file needs to remain 'zipped'.<br />
<br />
The blog post, <a href="https://geneticgenealogist.net/2017/08/updated-method-to-get-ydna-haplogroup.html" target="_blank">Updated Method to Get yDNA Haplogroup from AncestryDNA Results</a> explains the process.<br />
<br />
The second step is to use the <a href="https://ytree.morleydna.com/extractFromAutosomal" target="_blank">MorleyDNA.com Y-SNP Subclade Preditor</a>. After giving consent for the use of the data, a screen will open to upload the zipped file containing AncestryDNA results<br />
<br />
Once the data is uploaded, a screen will appear prompting you to prove you are not a robot and again asking for consent to use the data.<br />
<br />
The processing is quick and opens a screen showing the results. Look for the box highlighted in green on the left side of the screen. That is the predicted haplogroup.<br />
<br />
If you wish to share the findings with other CRAWFORD researches, you may either post your results as a comment to the Facebook post or as a comment to this blog. Please include the following information in your comment.Earliest known ancestor<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Birthdate and place if known</li>
<li>Deathdate and place if known</li>
<li>Spouse's name</li>
<li>Copy of information in the green box on the left (your haplogroup)</li>
</ul>
<div>
If your yDNA comes back any variety of R1b, I would be very interested in seeing if our research connects.</div>

I know I do! I especially like those surveys or challenges that cause me to look at my data in a different way. That's one of the things I like about Randy Seaver's "Saturday Night Genealogy Fun" challenges. Not only does Randy challenge me to look at my data differently - but he often provides the instructions on how to do it.<br>
<br>
That is especially true of last night's challenge.<br>

If so, do you ever struggle with remembering how the members of your FAN club fit together? If so, you are not alone.<br>
<br>
As I'm getting back into my CRAWFORD research and Garrard County, Kentucky records by reading an order book, I've found that I not only need a list of names, but a diagram of how they might fit together. Since I don't own any software to easily create such a diagram, I used Microsoft Publisher and multiple text boxes to create my diagram of the CRAWFORD families in early Garrard County, Kentucky along with some associated families.<br>

If you follow Randy Seaver's Genea-Musings blog, then you may have seen his challenge to <a href="https://www.geneamusings.com/2020/01/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-where-were.html" target="_blank">identify members of our ancestral families that will be in the 1950 United States census</a>.<br>
<br>
Although it will be interesting to see the household configurations in the 1950 census, there is census data available for that time period -- <i>IF the person lived in Kansas</i>. Yes, that's correct, one can find census data for Kansas thru 1961. This information can be found in Ancestry's collection: <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/2270/" target="_blank">Kansas, City and County Census Records, 1919-1961</a>.<br>
<br>
Since all of my ancestral lines were in Kansas prior to 1919, this collection has proven to be very helpful.<br>
<br>
For example, my great-grandmother, Josie Crawford was living in Dodge City in 1950. Thus, I did a search of the collection for a Josie Crawford living in Ford County, Kansas.<br>

If so, have you been following the tips in <a href="http://blog.genealogyguys.com/" target="_blank">The Genealogy Guys Blog</a>? Today's post, '<a href="http://blog.genealogyguys.com/2020/01/day-13-organize-your-online-trees.html?fbclid=IwAR0P4qop_vkv2CS7gW4QloGykv9p_LPiuS0IjVx_GUD57DqDLFkAFYTses4" target="_blank">Organizing Your Online Trees</a>,' is a challenge for me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oWrb3eJYF28/Xhyt602bx9I/AAAAAAAAHhU/MJp33J7wzGoyNftE5Nff7J6t2s07ARWiwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/onlinetree.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="264" data-original-width="671" height="125" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oWrb3eJYF28/Xhyt602bx9I/AAAAAAAAHhU/MJp33J7wzGoyNftE5Nff7J6t2s07ARWiwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/onlinetree.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
It is a challenge since I never considered having to 'keep them up to date.'<br />
<br />
For years, I have shared my work with others either thru a website, thru my Ancestry tree or thru a gedcom file. Since having my DNA tested, I have used gedcom files to share my tree with the various sites where my DNA data has been uploaded.<br />
<br />
Thanks to hosting site and software changes, some of my early attempts at sharing are no longer easily accessed. This would include my original website hosted on GeoCities. About the time GeoCities was being discontinued, I had transitioned to using The Master Genealogist for my genealogy research. Thus, I was able to take advantage of John Cardinal's software, Second Site and his hosting service to continue sharing my work online.<br />
<br />
When support for The Master Genealogist was discontinued, I converted my data to <a href="http://www.rootsmagic.com/" target="_blank">RootsMagic</a>. One of the 'selling' points for RootsMagic was the ability to publish my data online. Thus, I switched my online file from Second Site to RootsMagic's.<br />
<br />
Since the release of RootsMagic's TreeShare, I have had my RootsMagic data connected to my Ancestry Tree. I've also been taking advantage of the ability to connect individuals in my RM data to Family Search.<br />
<br />
Thus, my primary online trees include<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/115166653/?cfpid=270137699735" target="_blank">Heartland Genealogy on Ancestry</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/fanchart/LD33-4DF" target="_blank">FamilySearch tree</a></li>
<li><a href="http://sites.rootsmagic.com/heartland/" target="_blank">RootsMagic Online data</a></li>
</ul>
For DNA purposes, I do have some of my data on the following sites:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-364453/philbrick" target="_blank">My Heritage</a></li>
<li><a href="https://tree.familytreedna.com/family-tree/pedigree-view" target="_blank">FamilyTree DNA</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.gedmatch.com/login1.php" target="_blank">GedMatch</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
Since my GedCom has been shared in many ways, I don't have a complete list of where my data may be available online. Thus, the challenge!<br />
<br />
Since most of my current research has not involved new DNA ancestors, I don't feel a lot of pressure to update my GedCom data on My Heritage, FamilyTree DNA or GedMatch.<br />
<br />
In terms of updating online trees, my focus will be on my Ancestry tree, my ancestors on FamilySearch and my RootsMagic online data. Thank you 'The Genealogy Guys' for the challenge!</div>

Right? Or, if you are like me, you've given up on resolutions. I gave up on 'New Years Resolutions' quite a while ago. Like many people, one of the reasons I quit making resolutions was because I didn't keep them. However, looking back, I think another reason is that we perceive a 'New Year's Resolution' as a declaration to change something about our lives.<br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Instead of making resolutions to 'change,' I want to set goals for things I want to accomplish - particularly with my genealogy research. Before writing goals for 2020, I thought I'd look back at my previous goals to see how well I've done. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
And guess what - I would receive a failing grade for goal setting in 2019 because I can't find any goals for 2019. However, I did find that I wrote <a href="https://heartlandgenealogy.blogspot.com/2018/01/measuring-2018-goals.html" target="_blank">goals for 2018</a>. </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Get my tree indexed on Ancestry!</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Reduce number of shaky leaves on Ancestry</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Use RootsMagic's link to FamilySearch to add sources for my direct line ancestors</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Connect with cousins on Facebook by sharing family photos</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Blog about my ancestors </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">SCAN -- I still have some photo albums to scan</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Clean up files (sadly I have duplicates of some photos and others that need re-scanned)</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">DNA -- update my spreadsheet of matches</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Finish doing visual phasing with my brother's DNA results and then hopefully add a cousin or two </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Attend a genealogy conference </li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">Participate in genealogy study groups and round-tables</li>
</ul>
<div>
With two years to accomplish these goals, one would hope that I could report progress. Even though I can report progress on some goals, I don't have any data to support progress on others and I've abandoned other goals.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
In terms of progress, I can claim success for the following goals:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>My<a href="https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/115166653/family/pedigree" target="_blank"> Heartland Genealogy</a> tree on <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">Ancestry</a> is indexed and TreeShare with <a href="https://www.rootsmagic.com/" target="_blank">RootsMagic</a> is working great.</li>
<li>I have attended the <a href="https://tgstopeka.org/" target="_blank">Topeka Genealogical Society</a>'s conference</li>
<li>Weather and schedule permitting, I have participated in the DNA Study Group and Brick Wall Study group sponsored by the Topeka Genealogy Society.</li>
<li>Until recently taking a detour to work with Ancestry hints, I have been frequently blogging about my findings</li>
</ul>
<div>
Even though I think I've been successful with some of the other goals, I have no data to support my feeling of success. For example, I have no idea how many shaky leaves I had at the beginning of 2018, or the number of hints worked. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
In terms of adding sources to <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/en/" target="_blank">FamilySearch</a>, I know I have added some sources. Even though I'm not responsible for adding all of the sources to the individuals in my tree, my tree is gradually turning 'orange' to reflect 10 or more sources for each ancestor.</div>

I'm sure most genealogists with families in the United States have tried to connect ancestors to military records related to any of our major wars. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With my early Kentucky research, one of my goals is to figure out when they arrived in Kentucky. Thus, I checked the list of "<a href="https://www.fortboonesboroughlivinghistory.org/html/early_settlers.html" target="_blank">Early Settlers of Boonesborough</a>" for my Crawford families and did not find them listed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XZxbKjkdI4w/Xfax3AizuuI/AAAAAAAAHeg/lQKTXVsqYQAGdCW1tJ1V0VnZMJLTAAMlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/EartlySettlers.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="788" height="222" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XZxbKjkdI4w/Xfax3AizuuI/AAAAAAAAHeg/lQKTXVsqYQAGdCW1tJ1V0VnZMJLTAAMlQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/EartlySettlers.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I've dug into these Crawford families, I've started looking at other family ties. One of those ties is to the John Anderson family. John's daughter, Rebecca, was married to James Crawford. Since I couldn't find documentation of James' arrival, I started looking for information for the arrival of Rebecca's siblings. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks to a <a href="https://heartlandgenealogy.blogspot.com/2019/05/john-anderson-deed.html" target="_blank">1798 Madison County Kentucky deed</a>, Rebecca's father was identified as John Anderson and her siblings as the following:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Samuel Campbell and Mary his wife</li>
<li>Bez'l Maxwell and Margret his wife</li>
<li>James Crawford and Rebecca his wife</li>
<li>James Anderson and Hannah his wife</li>
<li>John Gass and Anne his wife</li>
<li>William M. Morris and Betsey his wife</li>
<li>Isaac Anderson</li>
<li>Samuel Anderson</li>
</ul>
<div>
Since Bazeleel Maxwell appears in many of the same records as James Crawford, I decided to try and learn more about this Anderson family. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This took me back to Boonesborough -- where I found several Anderson family members on <a href="https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=140825" target="_blank">The Fort Boonesbourough Monument</a>:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SKOoSKaoCTw/XfaxKW-IgnI/AAAAAAAAHeU/KM3sesTFVYspmUKzTQLgDntWkA1KO7gRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Boonesborough.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="439" data-original-width="947" height="182" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SKOoSKaoCTw/XfaxKW-IgnI/AAAAAAAAHeU/KM3sesTFVYspmUKzTQLgDntWkA1KO7gRQCLcBGAsYHQ/s400/Boonesborough.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Anderson, James - 1775</li>
<li>Anderson, Jemima</li>
<li>Anderson, John - 1780</li>
<li>Anderson, Mary - married Captain John Kennedy</li>
<li>Anderson, Nicholas</li>
</ul>
<div>
Besides the Anderson children, I found several of the spouses:</div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Gass. John - 1775 -- s/o Capt. David Gass</li>
<li>Morris, William</li>
<li>Campbell, Samuel</li>
</ul>
<div>
Based on the names in the deed and the names at Boonesborough, it looks like John Anderson and several of his daughters were in Boonesborough. Missing from Boonesborough are sons Isaac and Samuel and daughters, Margret and Rebecca.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since Rebecca Anderson was married to a sibling of Bazaleel Maxwell prior to her marriage to James Crawford, there is a strong family connection between Bazaleel Maxwell and James Crawford. Thus, I've been looking for Maxwell families when looking for my Crawford families. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thus, I found Bazaleel Maxwell listed on the tax list for Montgomery County, Virginia in 1782. (Kegley, Mary B., compiler and editor. <u>Tax List of Montgomery County, Virginia, 1782</u>. Roanoke, VA: Copy Cat, 1974.) </div>

Several Crawford families are also listed on this 1782 tax list, including Edward, James, a reference to the estate of John Crawford and Robert Crawford. </div>

So far, I don't have anything to prove that the James Crawford in the 1782 tax list is the James Crawford who married Rebecca Anderson. However, the fact that a James Crawford and a Bazaleel Maxwell are both listed on the 1782 tax lists is incentive to continue researching the Crawford family in Montgomery County, Virginia prior to 1786 when James Crawford purchased land in Kentucky.</div>

My ancestor, Nelson G. Crawford is the son of James and Sally (Smith Duggins) Crawford.<br>
<br>
Both James Crawford families lived in Preble County, Ohio before James and Martha and their children along with my ancestor, Nelson G. Crawford, moved to Warren County, Indiana. So, when I saw that Nelson Crawford was a first land owner in section 8 with James Crawford listed as a first landowner in both section 5 and section 8, I had to wonder if this could be MY James Crawford.<br>

For those in the Seneca area, the Suther name is associated with lumber and building. However, in the Nemaha County genealogy world, Cletus' name is associated with cemeteries.<br />
<br />
Before Find a Grave and before the Internet, there was Cletus' cemetery work. Living in Ohio, Cletus wanted to give back to his Nemaha County roots. Thus, he researched not just one but EVERY cemetery in Nemaha County. Cletus doggedly located the original record holder and transcribed those records into his cemetery notebooks. He then added obituary references for any and all that he could find. Those cemetery notebooks were then FREELY given to the Nemaha County Historical Society and the public libraries in the county.<br />

This body of work was and still is an ENOURMOUS contribution to Nemaha County Genealogy. By using the original records, Cletus' notebooks contain information for burials with no tombstone.<br />

If so, welcome to the club!<br>
<br>
I often go off on tangents with my FAN club. For the past several months, I've been on one of those tangents -- researching the descendants of James Crawford and Rebecca Anderson Maxwell Crawford.<br>
<br>
My most recent quest involves the descendants of Cynthia Crawford and John Crafton. This family is elusive! Born between 1824 and 1832, their children include John S., Barzilla, Patrick H, Rachel and Mary I. Even though I have approximate birth dates for all of the children, I only have a death date for John S. Crafton.<br>
<br>
This past week, I've been investigating the family of Mary I Crafton who married Jacob Cole in Indiana in 1865. According to Find a Grave, Jacob Cole died in 1893 in Ouachita County Arkansas. In an attempt to learn more about Mary Crafton Cole, I started investigating the Arkansas branch of the family thru their son James Franklin Cole.<br>
<br>
Since I didn't know a lot about this family, I used connections on Find a Grave to identify the family. From the Find a Grave memorial for <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/162530461/james-franklin-cole" target="_blank">James Franklin Cole</a>, I learned his wife was Elizabeth Francis Holt. I also was able to identify 3 of the children: Harvey E Cole, James Dewitt Cole and Ora Mae Cole.<br>
<br>
When working with a 'new' family, I also use the FamilySearch tree to see what other researchers have concluded. Based on the location of his birth and death and his wife's name, I matched James Franklin Cole in my RootsMagic database to <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L164-8WB" target="_blank">James Franklin Cole (1866-1952) [L164-8WB]</a>. Since FamilySearch had two additional children, Herbert Lee Cole and Roy J Cole, I added them to the family.<br>
<br>
My next step was to locate information to support the family configuration obtained via Find a Grave and FamilySearch. Ancestry hints to census records provided support for the family configuration.<br>
<br>
However, none of this provided a tie between James Franklin Cole of Arkansas and the Cole family in Clay County, Indiana. That's when I turned to newspapers to try and locate obituaries for the Cole family in Ouachita County, Arkansas.<br>
<br>
So far, I haven't found any obituaries. However, I did find one of those 'gossipy' tidbits that provides a major clue. According to the gossip,<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: #4c1130;">Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cole of Conroe, Texas visited Mr. and Ms. J. D. Cole and Mrs. J. F. Cole Friday.</span></i><br>
<br>

<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
That little tidbit not only provides a location for the family of Roy Cole in 1956 but also indicates that his mother, Mrs. J. F. Cole, is still living.<br>

<br>
There are two distinct Crawford lines in Dodge City prior to 1890. My line descends from Washington Marion Crawford who followed his brother, James H. Crawford to Dodge City from Indiana around 1884. The other line, Harvey H. Crawford, descends from James Crawford (1770-1836) of Warren County, Indiana thru his son, William Alan Crawford.<br>
<br>
Harvey H. Crawford settled in Wheatland Township northeast of Dodge City about the same time that James H. Crawford settled just south of Dodge City. According to newspaper articles, Harvey H. Crawford moved to Oklahoma for a time before settling in Dodge City before 1900.<br>
<br>
In May 1889, H. H. Crawford journeyed to Oklahoma pursuing work as a carpenter.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #073763;"><i>Steve Leavergood and H. H. Crawford started for Oklahoma on last Sunday morning. Mr. Crawford expects to get some work at his trade, carpentering. Mr. Leavergood has taken a claim, but will follow butchering.</i></span><br>

In the process, I discovered that a lot of the early newspapers from Dodge City, Kansas are now on Newspapers.com. Thus, I did a search for CRAWFORD between 1885 and 1890. Many of the results allowed me to get a digital copy of articles I had seen when I read the microfilm.<br>
<br>
One of those articles described the building of a boarding house by my 2nd great grandfather, Washington Marion Crawford.<br>

<br>
I played around with it a little yesterday, and this feature has a lot of potential. However, I think a better understanding of how the search works is needed before I can use it effectively.<br>
<br>
To access the 'Member Search' feature, pull down the SEARCH menu on Ancestry's screen.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kszb-O3fcp8/XdVyQGf2WvI/AAAAAAAAHXU/cGbwfwaQ6J4IpcjNZclUcpI5Mv5-YcBlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/SearchMenu.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="398" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kszb-O3fcp8/XdVyQGf2WvI/AAAAAAAAHXU/cGbwfwaQ6J4IpcjNZclUcpI5Mv5-YcBlwCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/SearchMenu.JPG" width="305"></a></div>
<br>
Click on <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/community/membersearch" target="_blank">MEMBER SEARCH</a> at the bottom of that menu. The Member Search screen will open with the default search for a member by their name or user ID.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zORxgRrzpuY/XdVypuS7-sI/AAAAAAAAHXc/pHjyxu_TIPUFbpwXhEDoMWwknxyivqtoQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/MemberSearchScreen.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="313" data-original-width="1119" height="88" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zORxgRrzpuY/XdVypuS7-sI/AAAAAAAAHXc/pHjyxu_TIPUFbpwXhEDoMWwknxyivqtoQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/MemberSearchScreen.JPG" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
In the past, one had to pretty much know the exact name or user id in order to locate that user. This is one of the areas that has been improved. Instead of needed to know the exact name, one can search for part of their name.<br>

<br />
You say he can't stand the Army<br />
The life is too tough for him,<br />
Do you think he is any better<br />
Than some other mother's Tom or Jim?<br />
You have raised him like a girl<br />
He don't smoke or drink, is your brag,<br />
If all the boys were like him<br />
What would become of Our FLAG?<br />
<br />
Then you say let the roughnecks do the fighting<br />
They are used to the beans and stew,<br />
I'm glad I am classed with the roughnecks<br />
Who fight for the red, white and blue<br />
You say his girl can't stand it<br />
To see him go with the rest,<br />
Don't you think she would be glad<br />
When she felt a Jap's breath on her breast?<br />
<br />
Think of the women of Belgium<br />
Of the hardships they have to bear,<br />
Do you think you want that to happen<br />
To your sweet daughter so fair,<br />
You can thank GOD for the Stars in OLD GLORY<br />
Are not blurred with that kind of stain<br />
Because there are millions of roughnecks<br />
with real red blood in their veins.<br />
<br />
They go and drill in bad weather<br />
And come in with a grin on their face,<br />
While your darling sits in the parlor<br />
And lets another man take his place,<br />
Maybe we do smoke and gamble<br />
But we fight as our forefathers did,<br />
So warm the milk for his bottle --<br />
THANK GOD WE DON'T NEED YOUR KID!!!!!<br />
