According to the Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, page 428, pp2; Robert Crawford is said to have married a daughter of his uncle Patrick. The Will of a person of this name was proved and admitted to record, Oct 29, 1810. The testator mentins his wife, Sarah, and his children, George, Elizabeth, Hugh, James, Jane, Robert, William and John. John and William Poage were appointed executors. Nothing more can be ascertained in reference to this family. It is strange that they should have disappeared from the county, "leaving no rack" behind.
