Sallie married David Shankland (about 13 years before coming west to Indiana). They were married in Preble Co, Ohio probably in the town of Eaton. The Crawford family didn't like David much because he let Sallie tend the crops and support the family while he was off preaching. They felt he was shiftless but were proud to have him in the family nevertheless. James Crawford Married Martha Knight(her father a surgeon to Washington's Army). James came to Virgina from England and worked his way up through Kentucky to Preble Co, Ohio. He and Martha are buried on the Weidenhammer farm (land they formerly owned) but the sight has been plowed under.
