Capt. David Crawford

Captain David Crawford, not to be confused with his grandfather, Captain David Crawford of the Virginia Colonial Militia, was born on February 2, 1734 in Hanover County, Virginia, moving with his family to Amherst County where the Crawfords took up residence at the foot of Tobacco Row Mountains. There remains to this day a a passage between the mountains called "Crawford's Gap." David married Elizabeth (Lucy) Henderson, the daughter of John Henderson and his wife, a woman with the maiden name of either Bennett or Barret. The Hendersons were residents of Albemarle County, VA. Most of what we know about David and Elizabeth's children is derived from David's will. David's will was made on December 14, 1801 and he died in August 1802.
