  3.   Can anyone provide accurate info on the parents of this William Crawford? The Ancestry link shown here says that his parents were James Crawford and Mary Robertson as do several other Ancestry entries. Most sources say that the William Crawford that married Mary Robertson died in about 1750 thereby making him not the father of William Crawford b. 1759. The possible source of this parent relationship is a book "My Henton Lineage" published by Dr. George Earle Henton in 1960 and copied on the Union County, Indiana GENWEB site. No sources are shown in the book.
    There are so many "William Crawford" families in the Augusta County, Virginia area
    in the mid-to-latae-1700's that it is very difficult to sort them out,1
