Biography

John Hammer Crawford was born July 9, 1814, in Washington county, Tennessee, a son of Samuel Crawford and Sarah Hammer. On November 23, 1833, in Washington county, Tennessee, John married Susanna Kelsey Blair, [1] born December 7, 1815, a daughter of John Blair and Mary H. (Chester) Blair. [2]

John and Susanna are found on the United States Census of 1850, living in Washington county, Tennessee, with five children. [3] FamilySearch.com has transcribed his middle initial as a "C" however this is due to the flourishes of the census taker. By comparing the middle initial to the "C" in the occupation of "Clerk" we can see that it is not the same and now the middle initial looks like a cursive "H." (See image)

Susanna Kelsey (Blair) Crawford died March 21, 1851, in Jonesborough, Washington county, Tennessee. John husband survived her, and is found on the United States Census of 1860, living in Jonesborough with his second wife, Brunetta Jane Earnest and children from both marriages. [4]

Brunetta Jane Earnest, who was born January 29, 1829, in Greene county, Tennessee, died January 14, 1890, at the age of 60, and is buried in the Forest Hill Cemetery, in Fort Worth. John Hammer Crawford died January 24, 1894, in Tarrant county, Texas and is buried with her. [5]
