Fayetteville Gazette - Tuesday, November 6, 1792 1792
Since the last fire in this town, a laboring man, by the name of William
Crawford, who has a wife and family in town, has been missing: several persons
recollected to have seen him in Col Dekeyser's house, apparently intoxicated,
but a few minutes before the roof fell in; suspicions were entertained that he
was burnt, though a report was circulated that he had been seen within a few
miles of town, with a parcel of goods, supposed to have been stolen during the
fire, which, from several circumstances obtained credit - until Wednesday last,
as some persons were clearing the cellar where Col Dekeyser's house stood, they
found a human scull and some remains of most of the bones of a human body, which
puts it out of all doubt that he perished in the flames.
