   1. I believe that the "Jane Ann Douglas Crawford" name identification from many sources is totally incorrect. It appears to me that David Crawford's wife's name was Margaret Arris (not Harris) and that she was likely the daughter of John Arris. It also appears that other information noted is incorrect, such as the December 13th date that was in the year 1689, that was the date of death of David's father John Crawford (or possibly John Arris). (I have not found confirmation of the 1676 date of death for John Crawford that also is widely distributed). David Crawford died in 1710 and Margaret Crawford appears to have died soon thereafter.
