Hiram Crowley, of Irish descent married Seletia Leonard of Scotch-Irish ancestry, a daughter of Col. A. F. Leonard one of Tarrant County's first representatives, and a wealthy stockman. Three children blessed the marriage: Dizania, who died in her third year; Archibald F., residing at Midland, and Hiram. After his marriage he accumulated a small lot of horses and cattle and started life in Tarrant County. He built the first water-mill in that county, below Fort Worth on the Trinity River. He was a slave owner and one of the heaviest stockmen in that part of the State when the war broke out. He took an active part on the Confederate side, organizing a company of which he was elected captain, and served up to the time he was killed-at the battle of Yellow Bayou in 1864. He left a widow and two infant sons. In 1873 Mrs. Crowley married Dr. J. B. McMurray at Birdville, Texas, and died on the 24th of June, 1879. Captain Hiram Crowley was one of the pioneers of Tarrant County, and a resident of Birdville when that place was the county seat of Tarrant County.
