comments
Tombstone inscription: "Maggie A. Woodworth, wife of Benj. Crawford, d. Oct 26, 1878, ae 76 yr 2 mo." May be a misreading for "niece of" and "ae 16 yr 2 mo"; if so, then same as no. 377. Also on same stone: "Geo., adopted son of B. and H. B. Crawford, d. Sept. 20, 1878, ae 13 yrs" ("Inscriptions") A Benjamin Crawford bought lot 143, where the stone stands. The marriage license of Benjamin Crawford and Harriet B. Richards, adoptive parents of George, proves that there were two Benjamins, as Benjamin Jr. married Harriet B. on 1 Jan 1866, and deeds and census records show her remaining his wife through the 1880s; thus an aged Maggie A. Woodworth could have been married to a Benjamin Crawford Sr. There is some information on the family of Benjamin Crawford Jr.: Enumerated in 1870 census, living in Strongsville with Benjamin Crawford, a wealthy farmer (35) from Scotland, with real property worth $3,000, Benj.'s wife Harriet (29), and Margaret Woodworth (7, probably a niece, ie, no. 377, unless it is a misprint for Maggie's age), and an aged handicapped pauper, Joel Tiffk. Benjamin Crawford enumerated in 1880 census, age 45, still in Strongsville, with wife Belind H [probably H. Belind] (39), and William Woodworth (13, nephew). Numerous deeds listing Benjamin Crawford or Benjamin and H. B. Crawford. They sell 15 acres in Berea to Wm. Carman for $3,000 in Apr 1870. They also buy and sell land in Strongsville. Benjamin Crawford is listed as one of the "wardins" [sic] of St. Thomas's Episcopal Church in Berea. H.Belinda and Benjamin Crawford are listed among the heirs of John Pembroke, along with Harriet Cartwright; LA, Jno B, Wm, and Lillie Richards, Alice and Chas. J. Fish, and Nancy Bowman. Between 1870 and 1877, Harriet Belinda begins to go by her middle name: "H. Belinda." Benjamin appears in a deed with a "Hannah B" as wife in 1884 (misprint?) (Benjamin Crawford deeds, Cuyahoga County Recorders Office online). No obvious grave for Benjamin or Harriet Belinda Crawford on findagrave.com in Ohio. There is a large Crawford/Squires monument in Woodvale Cemetery, Sec. B1, with a large lot and only one headstone reading "Benj. Crawford 1835-1900." They are probably there.
