Crawford Brown was the son of Lewis Devereaux and Elizabeth Amanda Jones Brown. He was born about just east of Tuscaloosa in 1859. His early life was spent in that area but in about 1885 he moved to Belton, Bell Co. TX. He had some cousins already out there when he moved. He married Hattie Eugenia Mitchell in 1895 in Belton and moved to Navarro Co. TX by 1900. He later tried to draw land in the Cloud Chief OK area in 1905 but failed and moved to near Antioch, Garvin Co. OK. Later he and his family moved to near Owens Prairie Township, south of Bray, Stephens Co. OK, and resided just south of the present Owens Prairie Cemetery on land owned in 2012 by John Maxwell, about a mile due north of the old Owens Prairie school, which is now torn down. He and his family lived the rest of their lives in that area. He died in 1949 and was buried in Marlow, Stephens Co. OK. He was survived by a large family of children.
