Finding the Daughters

Have you ever tried to piece a family together without the aide of a document identifying children. That's what I'm trying to do with William E. Crawford, son of James and Rebecca (Anderson) Crawford.

I'm using public member trees on Ancestry and the family on the FamilySearch tree as clues. Then I'm trying to find records to support the relationships.

Based on these trees, I think William E. and Elizabeth (Davis) Crawford had three daughters: Milly Crawford, Ann B. Crawford and Elizabeth Jane Crawford.

I believe I have found marriage records that may be for these three daughters.

Milly Crawford married John Douglas on 23 April 1830 in Decatur County, Indiana.
