Ile built a store on the road in front of his residence, where he carried on a mercantile business for a long time.

37 RICHARD CRAWFORD, son of Richard Crawford, 15, died, unmarried, Mch. 17, 1830, aged 30 years, 8 months and 22 days. He was called the "fox hunter, " was a sports- man and convivial fellow; a friend of Capt. Edward Kearny, of Key Grove, and a jolly set. He loaned his hounds out, or rather gave them away, but whenever he wanted a hunt, he sounded his horn from the hill-top, and the dogs broke loose from every direction, and came at his call to slink to their respective homes when the day was over-a neat way to keep a kennel at another's expense.
It seems as if there might be some connection between these individuals, Crawford and Parker:
"Rich Billy Parker" was a noted fox-hunter, living in the vicinity of Shrewsbury and uncommonly eccentric. He was wont to take his hounds to meeting with him. Some of the ungodly, more than once, carried a fox trail round and through the Quaker Meeting-house, at Shrewsbury, and rich Billy was more than once held accountable for a violent commotion with his dogs in the midst of divine service. He was ruined by endorsing, it is said, his son- in-law Crawford's notes.

The Crawfords, in the vicinity of Freehold, N. J., were probably of kin but the degree of their relationship I have not seen stated.
They were of a generation or two later than John Crawford, the early settler in Middle- town. They were a prosperous and able lot of people, and politically prominent in their day.
GIDEON CRAWFORD was apparently the first of the name in that locality.
Between 1709-10 and 1720, Gideon Crawford was an appraiser, executor and witness, for people living in the vicinity of Freehold.
In 1715, and probably for many other years, Gideon Crawford was Sheriff, of Monmouth County.
He married Sarah Redford, and is alluded to in the will of Samuel Reidford, of Freehold, written Feb. 15, 1709-10; proved June 7, 1711, as, with Andrew Reidford, "my loving brothers."

1752, Oct. I. The inventory of his personal estate, taken this date, was signed by his widow, as Naomy Crafard.
There was a Samuel Crawford buried in the Scots' Burying ground, Marlboro, who died, July 8, 1748, aged 35 years and 3 months. Probably they were his children who were baptized at Tennent Church, Aug. 25, 1745, with the names Reyntie and Keturah.

1750. Andrew Crawford was a witness to a will of this date, with Richard Francis, and from a memorandum attached to this, it would appear that Margaret Francis was a daughter of John Stanly, of Middletown Point, trader, who had a wife, Grace, but all the above assertion needs proving, from hasty transcription.

CURTIS
OF
BURLINGTON AND MONMOUTH COUNTIES
1 . .. .. CURTIS, the father of Thomas Curtis (2) and John Curtis (3), was an English- man of whom nothing is known. It is unlikely that he ever came to this country. The assertion that Thomas and John were brothers is not supported by any documentary proof that I recall, but is generally accepted as correct, and I concur in this statement. The home of Thomas, prior to his emigration, was in Northamptonshire, England, and it is a natural deduction that it was likewise the home of his father. The two emigrants, Thomas and John, were perhaps redemptioners, though I fail to find their names in the imperfect lists of these people.
THOMAS CURTIS, son of ..... Curtis, 1. He and his wife belonged to the Society 2 of Friends, and, as appears from their records, resided at Bug Brook, Northampton, Old England.
Upon the Records of the Friends of that district, there appears a list of his children, which I am inclined to believe is incomplete. The family did not, apparently, come over collectively, but by instalments. He was settled in Burlington County as early as 1682-3, when he recorded the birth of his daughter, Mary, while about seven months earlier, July, 1681, his daughter, Elizabeth, aged then about fifteen years, and his daughter, Sarah, then aged about eighteen years, still in the old country, bound themselves out to service in this country. In addition to the three daughters so far mentioned, he had Jane, Dorothy and Abigail, and supposedly a son, Thomas. That he had others is more than likely, for there is an interval of sixteen years between the births of his last two children, during which many others could have been born to him. The surname of his wife I do not know, and it is possible he had two of the Christian name of Jane, for the youngest and oldest of his children were born far apart, and his wife remarried twice. He named his new home, in New Jersey, Bug Brook, after his residence in Old England.
1685. Thomas Curtis owned land in Burlington County.
1686, Oct. 10. Peter Harvey and wife Sarah, conveyed lands to Thomas Curtis, of Bugg- brook, West Jersey.
168S. Thomas Curtis was dead and Jane, his widow, remarried successively, John Chapman and John Pancoast.

John Pancoast, her last husband, made his will Nov. 30, 1694, wherein he stated that he was of Mansfield, Burlington County; proved Dec. 22, 1694, and mentioned his wife, Jane, and children, who were by his first wife.
