Biography

David Crawford is a member of Clan Crawford.

David Crawford was born in Ayrshire, Scotland in 1812, to James Crawford and Mary Campbell. He was christened in Ayrshire.[1]

David married Margaret Tenant.[2] They lived at Grange Loan Gatehouse, Canaan Cottage, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Around 1854 David and Margaret Crawford left Scotland to make their home in the new country of Upper Canada. When they arrived here, they probably had five children with them, aged from about one year old, to eleven. First they lived in Brockville; later they moved to Kingston.[3]

He worked as a gardener in Scotland and in Ontario, Canada. David and Margaret have hundreds of descendants scattered throughout North America.

Children

David died in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on November 26, 1884, at the age of 72.[18]

Research Notes
