During the 'Observer - Brick Wall Consultation' sessions, Mr. Hall will deduct 'deep dive'  sessions with selected individuals to discuss one of their genealogical brick walls.

I am HONORED to have been selected as one of the four brick wall consultations! For my application, I submitted my fourth great-grandfather, James Crawford (1772-1854). Below is my research question:

Who is the father of James Crawford?

NOTE: Same Name issue with researching this James Crawford

•  Next door neighbor in Preble County, Ohio was James Crawford (1770-1833) who married Martha Knight in 1793 in Lincoln County, KY. This James Crawford migrated to Warren County, IN where he died. Also migrating to Warren County, IN at about the same time was Nelson G. Crawford, the son of James and Sally (Smith Duggins) Crawford.
• There is a third James Crawford (1758-1836) living in Madison and Garrard counties in Kentucky prior to 1800. This James Crawford was married to Rebecca Anderson and migrated to Jennings County, IN and then to Jefferson County, IN.
• Garrard County KY histories refer to a Rev. James Crawford. There was a Rev. James Crawford (1752/3 – 1803) at Walnut Hill Presbyterian Church in Fayette County, KY. Rev. James Crawford was married to Rebecca McPheeters.
• DAR applications by descendants of James Crawford and Rebecca Anderson appear to have records mixed up with a James Crawford (1757-1836) who resided in Fleming County, KY. This James Crawford was married to Sarah Vansant.

I'm overwhelmed to have been chosen for this honor. I look forward to hearing what Mr. Hall has to say about my brick wall. I'm also looking forward to learning from the various sessions and from others attending the conference.

Please join me in Topeka on April 5th and 6th at the
