Life History

Notes

• Connally-Terry family information (received from Don Johnston, marriedto a descendant of Eddy Connally) reports that Judith Crawford'smother was Ann Anderson.  A genealogy of the Blust, Reed and relatedfamilies reports her mother (and wife of Capt David Crawford) asElizabeth Smith.
  
  David Crawford, Capt, b 1662, d 1762, residence Amherst VA (birth yearis questionable); father John Crawford b Scotland; married ElizabethSmith (cf Ann Anderson from Terry-Connally family sources) in 1695.

  Records have a wife named Elizabeth Smith, who seems to be the secondwife of David Crawford.  Elizabeth is the first wife, and mother ofDavid Crawford, born 1697.  Judith Crawford as born in 1705.Information I have seen indicates Ann Anderson was not born until1708.  She is reported to have married David Crawford in 1727.

  Marriage records indicate David Crawford married Ann Anderson in 1727. But the death date recorded for his first wife Elizabeth Smithindicates Elizabeth did not die until 1767.  It may be that recordsfor two different David Crawfords have been mixed or confused.  Butit's possible there was an error in transcribing the Elizabeth's dateof death, 1767 instead of 1727.

  Some Terry descendants report family tradition that Ann Anderson wasthe mother of Judith Crawford.  No dates seem to be associated withthis, and it seems they are unaware of Elizabeth Smith, plentifullydocumented as the wife of Captain David Crawford, whom she married in1695, 10 years before Judith was born.
