Searching for a Crawford Family
Researched by Barbara Logan for Eleanor Homewood
SYNOPSIS OF RESEARCH:
I have searched several censuses and found that Willy C. Crawford was a son of
Benjaman Crawford and Nancy "Nannie" Regina McLeod. (This was recently verified
with a copy of the Social Security application of Roscoe Franklyn Crawford, a
brother of Willy C. Crawford. (BELOW)
Benjaman Crawford was a son of John F. Crawford and Nancy Josephine McKinney.
John F. Crawford was most likely a brother of William H. Crawford and
Carrie Crawford Parish. In 1870 they are all living together in Arkansas.
After 1870 and before 1880 William and Carrie had both married and had both became widowed.
Carrie married Mr. ? Parish about 1872 - In 1880 her oldest child is 7 and youngest child is 3.
By 1880 John has married Nancy Josephine McKinney and has 3 children,
Lillie age 8, Benjaman age 6 and Mortie (daughter) age 3.
William and Carrie are still living together although now he is listed as a
widower and she is by the name Carrie Parish with 3 children, daughter
Olen?Ollie? age 7, Samuel age 6 and Shirley (son) age 3 - she is also listed
as a widow.
We don't have 1890 Cansus info because it was destroyed in a fire.
In 1900, Benjaman is married to Nannie R. McLeod and they have 3 children:
Roscoe, born Sep. 1894, age 5, Willie C., born Dec. 1897, age 2, and
Malcomb, born Dec. 1899, age 5/12.
Benjaman's father John F. and mother Nancy Josephine are nearby
with more children - Martha L. (Lillie) age 28, Myrta age 22, Edgar
age19, Leonidas age 16, Mary age 13, Joel age 11, Jesse age 8, and
Ruth age 6.
Carrie and William are living with Carrie's son Samuel B. Parish at this time.
By 1910, John F. and Nancy J. just have four children living with them -
Myrtle age 32, Joe R. age 19, Jessie H. age 18 and Ruth L. age 16.
Son Edward R. (Ed, Edgar) has a wife, Mary, and daughter Bernice, age 2.
Benjaman has apparently died as Nannie is listed as a widow with five
children at home: Roscoe F. age 15, Willie C. age 12, Archie R.age 10, Myrtle C.
age 8 and Cuba B. age 6. She says she has had 7 children with 5 living - I think this
should be 8 children, if she was accurate on the 1900 census - she said 6 children
born then with 3 living. Malcomb is not in this census - he must have died, along
with his father before 1910.
In 1910 Shirley Anna Parish is married to Charles Theodore Cathey and has 5 children
Note this female named Shirley was listed as a Male in the 1880 census! or it is
unreadable - looks like it has " for both male and son.... So Olen? a daughter must have
died. Carrie says she had 3 children and 2 living - Shirley and Sam are living.
In 1920 we find Archie Crawford, Willie's brother living with another family as a
hired man at age 20.
John F. Crawford is living alone at age 77
Nannie R. Crawford age 51, still has three children at home - Roscoe F. age 24,
C? (Myrtle) age 17 and Cuba B. age 15.
In 1920 the name Parish isn't very clear. But now we know that Carrie Crawford Parish
was Caroline "Carrie" F. Crawford Parish. She must have died before 1930 as she is no
longer listed with Sam and family in that census.
See who I found in the 1930 Census below....
Where was Willie in 1920 and 1930? I haven't found him.
