Have you ever tried to figure out who is who in a community when there are multiple people of the same name? Well, that's where I am with the Garrard County tax records from 1797-1806. I have four Crawford families that potentially live in Garrard County during that time period. James Crawford husband of Rebecca Anderson who purchased land from Thomas Kennedy. James ' sons were Isaac (?-?), William (1784-1864) and James (1790-1856) William Crawford who claimed to have purchased land from J Kennedy. His sons would not have been old enough to be listed on the tax lists while William Crawford was living in Garrard County. James Crawford who married Martha Knight in 1793 in Lincoln County, Kentucky. James is thought to be the son of Rebecca Crawford . Rebecca purchased land from George Douglas. James Crawford who married Sally Duggins in 1799 in Garrard County, Kentucky. James is thought to be the son of Mary Crawford who married Alexander Moore.
