      Memorial Service planned for April 24 in Milam

      A memorial service to honor Jacob "Jake" and Huldath (Luten) Crawford will be held Saturday, April 24 at the Old Milam Cemetery. The service will begin at 10 a.m. Jacob was a soldier of the Republic of Texas and a citizen of the Republic of Texas. Direct descendants will participate in the service. A history will be read by Jeffery Williams while the unveiling will be by Derrick Grant and Albert Williams. Jacob "Jake" Crawford was born March 15, 1792 in Onslow, NC, as the son of James Crawford and Sally Cotten. The Crawfords came to America from Scotland and were of Scotch-Irish descent. It is thought that the family originated somewhere around Kilburny. The family was said to have left their homeland to come to America in search of religious freedom, as was the case of many families during this time. (The exact dates of the family's arrival in America is still being researched, but it is suspected to be during the late 1600s to early-mid 1700s).

      Jacob Crawford married Huldath Luten, also of North Carolina. Huldath was born August 30, 1794. There is not much information on Huldath in family records.

      Jacob and Huldath had 11 children and adopted one granddaughter after their eldest son, John F. died in 1840.

      Jacob and Huldath Crawford's family moved to the Republic of Texas in 1837. The family resided in or near Milam. Jacob had received land grants for his service in the Texas Revolution. The land grant states that he was a citizen prior to the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Jacob and Huldath Luten Crawford died in Milam. Records indicate that both died from influenza on September 15, 1859. They were buried in the same grave. Huldath and Jacob are buried in the Milam Cemetery located in Milam. The public is cordially invited to attend this special ceremony on April 24.

      Nancy (Mayo) Bishop writes that he was the son of James CRAWFORD and Sally COTTEN of Onslow County, North Carolina. He was the grandson of William (Jr.) CRAWFORD and Catherine HOBBS and Samuel and Lydia COTTEN. For additional information on Jacob's ancestors, contact Nancy directly at:
