Notes for ARCHIBALD "ARCHIE" CRAWFORD:
Served in the War of 1812 as sergeant under General William Henry Harrison when they defeated the
Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe at Lafayette, IN on November 7, 1811. Archibald was wounded by an
arrow in this battle. He continued to serve until he was mustered out of service in February 1814, when he
returned to Miller's Creek, Estill Co., KY. He was granted 20,000 acres of land in the Middle Fork River
area for his military services.

In the spring of 1815, he moved to Bear Creek to claim his land. His two brothers, Valentine and Gideon
helped him construct a two-room cabin. He owned 30 slaves. Some of his land grant is presently owned
by his descendants and the descendants of his slaves who took the name of Crawford.

Archibald was an eccentric. He built his own coffin and kept it filled with corn under the bed he slept in.
He took a notion to have his own funeral and invited friends and relatives. There was a two-hour eulogy
by the Rev. John Spencer. During the whole affair, Archibald sat in a chair at the head of the coffin which
he had pulled out from under his bed for the occasion.
 

Archibald Crawford, born March 9, 1772 in Culpeper Co. VA., was first found in Upper Howard Creek,
Clark Co. KY in 1796. He was also on a reconstructed 1800 census schedule compiled from lists of
taxpayers for the state of Kentucky in Clark County. Also shown living in Clark Co. was Austin Crawford,
and Valentine Crawford. Archibald married Margaret (Peggy) Brown Dec. 8, 1801 in Clark Co. KY,
Margaret was born January 6, 1789. In 1820 he was shown in the Estill Co. KY census with four males,
five females and five slaves. Archibald built a home near the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River. In 1850
Breathitt Co KY Archibald at the age of 78 years old is shown as a widow. In his household there are
children who probably are his grandchildren. They are Anderson, Abner, and Margaret Bowman, and
Evilin and Nancy Spicer. Living several households down is Samuel and Rachel Plummer with daughter,
America, age 5 months old. America (Annie) Plummer grew up and married James S. Crawford. James
was the grandson of Archibald Crawford. In the 1860 Breathitt Co. KY census Archibald was living with
his son, Clabourn Crawford. Archibald died March 27, 1866 in Breathit Co. KY. In 1870 Lee Co. was
form out of Breathitt, Owsly, Estill, and Wolf Counties and in the 1870 census this Crawford family was
found living in Lee Co. KY.
From Early Pioneers On The Three Forks Of The Kentucky River, written by Miles Crawford: Archibald
was a tall thin man nearly 6 and a half foot tall. He wore homespun woolen jeans and linen shirts all year
round. In his younger days he wore a long red beard and handlebar mustache. He carried a long scar on
his right cheek and neck from an arrow he received when he was shot by they Wyandott Indians in the
Battle of Tippecanoe with the Shawnee and Wyandott Indians in 1811 near the city of Lafayette, Indiana.
Archibald continued to serve with General Harrison in the Northwest Territory and was at the Battle of
the Thames in Oct. 1813. He was mustered out in February 1814, and returned to Millers Creek, Estill
Co.
Archibald came from Clark County to the mouth of Bear Creek about 1812. He built a long two room log
house and raised thirteen children. He brought thirty slaves with him. Archibald had been in the War of
1812 as a Sergeant in the Calvary and was granted 20,000 acres landbounty warrant. One ancestor said he
had so much land that he "didn't know where the boundaries were." It is know from tax lists and old
deeds that the boundaries were all the land between the waters of Bear Creek, Upper and Lower Twin
Creek. The 1800-1840 Estill and Breathitt Co. Tax list 20,000 acres of timber land. Most of the land was
inherited by his thirteen children and heirs down through the generations. Some has been sold to other
people, descendants of Archibald's original slaves still live on part of the original tract. They took the name
of Crawford and retain it to the present.
Archibald was a shoe cobbler of sorts, he made shoes from hides he had tanned and put the soles on with
dogwood pegs. About everywhere he traveled he always took along his two Jameson (large Kerr type
hunting dog) dogs. At age 78 years, Archibald decides he wanted his funeral preached while he was still
living, word spread for several miles around about the event. He invited all that could get into the family
room of the house, he pulled a coffin made from black walnut whipsawed lumber from under a huge four
poster bed. The coffin was filled with seed corn and asked them to plant it in memory of the event. Rev.
John D. Spencer, a hard-shelled Baptist, preached the funeral. Archibald told the crowd that his large four
poster bed meant more to him than anything else. He had handmade the bed as a wedding present for his
young wife in 1801, she was barely 12 years old when they married, and all of their 13 children were born
in that bed and when his time had come he wanted to die in it. Archibald died 16 years later.
The funeral was attended by James Green Trimble who wrote an account of the event and published in
the book, "Remembrances Of Breathitt County" published by The Jackson Times, Jackson, Breathitt
County, Kentucky.
