Note for: Thomas Crawford, WFT Est. 1854-1880 - WFT Est. 1874-1960 Index

Individual Note:
THOMAS CRAWFORD

Thomas Crawford, son of John Crawford, was born in Milbank, Ontario, about 1865, and lived with the family until they came to Michigan. He was a good shot with the rifle, and got his quota of deer and other game in the new country. He married Susanna Stevenson and they built their home on the river between his father's and her father's.

Their family consisted of: William (deceased), James, Bell, Mary, Myrtle, Robert, Lyla, Susie, Fred, and Ward.

Tom Crawford bought his land from his father and father-in-law and other parties. He was a good farmer, and they were both economical. He made money on pease which he grew on contract with a seed company. In the winter he didn't go to the lumber camps as much as the other men did, but he had good timber of his own, and worked at that.

After his farm was well cleared, he built a large frame house close to the county road, and that is where their family grew up and left for homes of their own.

He belonged to the Orange Lodge, and was Master for many years.
