The Crawfords were a prominent, Amherst County family who first moved to the region in the mid-18th century. Below are several generations of Crawfords and a demonstration of their connection to Elijah Fletcher (via his wife, Maria). The red starbursts indicate family members who owned or lived at Tusculum.
