Individual Details

William H Crawford

(8 Dec 1770 - 12 Jul 1845)



Birthdate is calculated from his date of death as 12 Jul 1845. Said to be aged 74 years, 7 months, 4 days. I find these to be often incorrect. This date in 1770 would suggest he was born before his parents married, but of course the marriage date could be the one that's in error.
