CRAWFORD FAMILY

Crawford Coat of

Arms

History:

Our link to the Crawford Family is through Martitia Crawford, daughter of Joseph, and granddaughter of Valentine Crawford, Jr . Valentine and Joseph enlisted in 1854 and served during the French & Indian War. They later served in the Continental Army, Valentine as a colonel and both Wagonmaster and Secretary to General George Washington. Her uncle, William Crawford, served in the House of Burgesses in Colonial Virginia, and also as a Revolutionary War colonel. He was burned at the stake in Ohio by Indians while Simon Girty looked on. For a fuller summary of the Crawford Family history see this Crawford Family site.

Martita was one of nine children born in about 1820. She moved to Estill County with her family, and married William Cole there on October 1, 1803. William & Martitia farmed in Miller's Creek. She and William had 12 children, and the eighth, Sarah McDonald Cole, married Alfred York on 11 Nov 1839 in Estill County. Their daughter, Letitia Dow York was born in 1849. She married Richard Nathaniel Lyons in 1883 in Lee County, Kentucky and they resided in Proctor until about 1890 when they moved to Beattyville. Many other Crawford kin lived in this area, to include Emma Cole Eicem whose statement concerning the Crawford family may be seen here.
