General Notes: Husband - George Crawford

---

He attended the common schools to a limited extent, but was almost wholly self-educated. His early life was spent as a boatsman (a book of original entries, later in possession of A. C. McKinney, shows he kept a country store as early as October 10, 1815, and carried on his commerce by river boats) on the river, plying between Jersey Shore and Columbia and Marietta, carrying lumber and grain to market and returning with goods for his region. In 1834 he was superintendent of the Pennsylvania canal on the West branch division of the Susquehanna. He then lived and kept store in Pine Creek township, where he purchased the farm of 130 acres, on which George Crist later resided. There he erected a fine brick residence and made many other improvements, but in 1848 removed to the Chatham Run mills, which he operated until 1874, when he laid aside all business cares. His fellow citizens chose him as their representative to the State Legislature in 1831, 1832 and 1833, and he filled that responsible position with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of the general public. By the governor he was appointed associate judge under the old constitution, having for his colleagues Hon. Thomas Burnside and Hon. John Fleming. He was later elected to the same office for a term of five years, and was then associated with Hon. George W. Woodward and Hon. John Fleming. He was also president of the Clinton County Academy from 1839 until 1843, and faithfully performed all duties which devolved upon him, whether public or private. He was a strong Democrat in politics, and was an active and prominent member of the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as elder for many years.
