Early Church Records For Crawbucks
Yesterday I was at the NYG&B and found a marriage record for Peter Crawbuck (C1760-1830) dated 13 Jan 1790- he married Mary Gordan or Jordan.There were also baptismal records for his children and for Godfrey Crawbuck's children- one of which was a Godfrey Jr.This, almost possitively, is the Godfrey that married Mary Ross and the father of James F, William C, and Cornelius(I just got a email from Rick M. that confirms Cornelius' connection).This documentation was from "Lutheran Church Records" which are on 6 reels of microfilm- some of the records dating to 1703.Much of these records are in German.And in fact the name that we know as Crawbuck was given as Grabach on all of these records and the given names were all in a German form.At first I was skeptical with regaurd to the use of Grabach, but I am now "POSITIVE" these are our Crawbucks.
