I'm trying to find more information about the family of a George W. Hume who married Rebecca Crawford in 1837 in Porter Co. Indiana.Rebecca's Crawford family was in Iowa Territory within a year or so of her marriage.I suspect that the G. W. Haume shown in Van Buren Co, Iowa in 1840 census is the George W. Hume who married Rebecca Crawford.I've tentatively placed Rebecca as the daughter of Thomas Crawford & his wife Rachel _____ .By 1843/1844 the Crawfords shortly were in Wapello County, Iowa (not sure if there was a move from Van Buren County or just boundary changes).In 1844 the Crawfords were involved in a big gunfight and Thomas Crawford (Rebecca's father?) was killed.Then some of the Crawford family moved to Missouri -- I've found some in Andrew Co Missouri and some in De Kalb CountyMO in 1850.Is it possible that the George Hume who married Rebecca Crawford is your George W. Hume?
