About

Letters which will be posted to this site cover a period from 1849 to the early 1920s and represent correspondence between Hiram and Nancy Crawford and their eight children as well as other family members and friends. With the help of my cousin, Jay Crawford, these letters have been (or will be) transcribed and footnotes have been added to identify people mentioned in each letter. We have tried to transcribe these letters as written, keeping the original spelling, however some punctuation has been added to make the letters more readable. A summary of each letter, in italics, has been added to the top of each letter.

If you have any corrections, additions or comments, please feel free to add a comment.
