In Edward Aiken Crawford's article 'Col. William Crawford' published in The West Virginia Historical Magazine Quarterly, vol. 4, no. 4, October 1904, pp. 261-272,
Onora [sic] Grimes [sic] Crawford is said to be a daughter-in-law of John and Elizabeth Crawford of Northumberland County, Virginia. John Crawford purchased land there in 1683, sold a portion to John Legg in 1692, and in 1706 sold to Meredith James another portion "except ten yards square where my father and mother were buried." John and Elizabeth Crawford were the parents of four sons, John, George, William, and David, as well as two daughters. The same article claims John's father was George Crawford, a descendant of Capt. Thomas Crawford (c.1527-1603) of Jordanhill, an estate in the West End of Glasgow.
History of Crawford County, Pennsylvania (1885), page 193:
As this county was named in honor of Col. William Crawford, the friend of Washington, and one of the most distinguished frontiersmen of Western Pennsylvania...He was born in 1732 in Orange (now Berkeley County) Va his parents being of Irish extraction...His father died when William was four years old, leaving another son Valentine who was younger than our subject. His mother Onora...married for her second husband Richard Stephenson, to whom she bore five boys and one girl: John, Hugh, Richard, James, Marcus, and Elizabeth the last mentioned dying young. The seven boys were all remarkable for their size and physical prowess. In 1749 the youthful George Washington became acquainted with their family and it was while surveying in the Shenandoah Valley that his acquaintance with William Crawford ripened into a friendship that lasted until the cruel death of the latter more than thirty years afterward...
