James Crawford and Amy Elder were married September 8, 1831 by John Wilson, J.P.
HISTORY OF MEDINA COUNTY - pp. 471-472.
"In 1828, a mail route was established from Cleveland to Columbus, over which the mail was carried on horseback for a short time, when Jarvis, Pike & Co., of Columbus, established a line of stages over the entire route. The first stagecoach arrived in Seville from Columbus on the 5th day of April. The snow was about four inches deep upon the ground at the time. and, as the roads were quite bad, the new enterprise came leisurely into town, where it was hailed by shouts from a large crowd of enthusiastic observers. James Crawford, Jr., soon became a driver of one of these coaches, and, as he was driving from Medina to Seville, near where Fritz's steam saw-mill now is, in June of this year, he was overtaken in the midst of the woods by a heavy shower of wind and rain which blew down a large tree near him, killing three of his horses. Six passengers who were in the coach, the driver and one horse, escaped injury."
James & Amy Crawford were 3rd great-grandparents of "Doors" musician Jim Morrison.
