LEONARD CRAWFORD was born in this township February 1, 1832, being the
second of eight children of William and Melinda (Graham) Crawford.  The
father was a native of North Carolina, and the mother of Kentucky, and the
removal to Indiana occurred about the year 1815.  With but little advantage
of securing an education and with time spent mainly at hard work on his
father's farm, our subject passed his youth and early manhood.  He was
united in marriage August 24, 1854, with Elizabeth Spear, who bore him six
children, of whom these are now living:  Joseph L., who married Annie
Jackson;  William H., who married Ida Thomas;  Mary E., who became the wife
of Robert Ingle;  Martha L. and David A.  Mr. Crawford by industry, good
management and good habits has now a farm of 274 acres, mostly well improved
and stocked.  He and wife are members of the Christian Church.  He is an
influential member of the Democratic party.
