In May 1840, James and John Crawford were identified as sons of Isaac Crawford when they sold their 1/6th of 1/11th of Jacob Miller's land to William Duff. Going back through the deeds, I have identified three other deeds where protions of Jacob Miller's land was sold to William Duff. Two of those deeds also involve heirs of Isaac Crawford.
