Biography

Born about 1806 in Rockingham, Virginia, United States.

16 Jun 1825 Obediah marries Ann Wyatt in Albemarle County, Virgina.[1][2]

Note: The names behind the birthyears of the following year 1840 are only guesses! To make it easier to compare later records.

1840 This is the only Obediah Crawford listed in Virgina at the time. There is a good possibility that this is our Obediah Crawford and his family. The ages of the adults fit and they are listed with six chidren, who's ages also roughly fit, in Rockingham County, Virgina.[3]

  • born 1840-1835: 1 male (John), 2 females (Sarah?, Barbara)
  • born 1835-1830: 1 male (Joseph?)
  • born 1830-1825: 2 females (Callie, ???)
  • born 1825-1820: 0
  • born 1820-1810: 0
  • born 1810-1800: 1 male (Obediah), 1 female (Anna)

21 Aug 1850 Obediah is listed living on a farm with his wife Anna and seven children in District #30, Lewis County, Virginia.[4]

  • Obediah Crawford (44 years, male, farmer, born in Virginia, can't write or read)
  • Anna Crawford (43 years, female, born in Virginia, can't write or read)
  • Cally Crawford (22 years, female, born in Virginia, can't write or read)
  • Joseph Crawford (21 years, male, laborer, born in Virginia)
  • Sarah Crawford (17 years, female, born in Virginia)
  • Barbara Crawford (14 years, female, born in Virginia)
  • John Crawford (15 years, male, born in Virginia)
  • Amanda Crawford (9 years, female, born in Virginia)
  • Francis Crawford (5 years, male, born in Virginia)

25 Jul 1860 Obediah and his wife are listed on a farm in Upshur County, Virgina.[5] They are living with six children. I only believe the first three listed to be their own. Noah and Thomas were not living with them in 1850 and I assume little Peter to be to young to be their biological son. Instead I think, they might be grandchildren - maybe of the female listed with them in 1840 - or nephews. But I don't have sources yet to proofe my thoughts! So I might be totally wrong! Their son Joseph is living next door with his wife and children.

  • Obediah Crawford (53 yeas, male, farmer, 750$ real estate, 325$ personal estate, born in Virginia)
  • Annie Crawford (52 years, female, wife, born in Virginia)
  • John Crawford (24 years, male, farming, born in Virginia)
  • Calley Crawford (32 years, female, house work, born in Virginia)
  • Frances A. Crawford (14 years, female, born in Virginia)
  • Noah Crawford (15 years, male, farming, born in Virginia, attends school)
  • Thomas Crawford (14 years, male, born in Virginia, attends school)
  • Peter Crawford (1 year, male, born in Virginia)

24 Jun 1870 Obediah is listed living with his daughter Francis and two grandchildren? Peter and Idah in Banks Township, Upshur County, West Virginia.[6] Anna is not listed with him anymore, I assume she might have passed.

  • Crawford Obediah (62 years, male, white, farmer, 800$ real estate, 250$ personal estate, born in Virginia)
  • Crawford Peter (11 years, male, white, born in Virginia, attended school, can't write)
  • Crawford Francis (24 years, female, white, keeping house, born in Virginia)
  • Crawford Idah (3 years, female, white, born in West Virginia)

Died 10 Dec 1877 (aged 71) in Upshur County, West Virginia, USA.[7]

  • Obediah's grandson I. W. Crawford gives information on his death record: The widowed farmer Obediah Crawford, white, male, 71 years, born in Rockingham County, Virginia, died 10 Dec 1877 in Upshur County, West Virginia due to a kidney disease. I. W. Crawford does not know the names of Obediah's parents.

Buried Crawford Cemetery at Rock Cave, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA.[8]
