John Crawford married Ann Wilson in Baltimore, Maryland. They had two children William and Ann before she died. He married second Elizabeth Campbell, and they had a child who died young.
John married third Elizabeth Henning, and they had nine children. All his children are referenced in his probate records (23 Sep 1856-9 Sep 1858).
There were 4-5 Crawford Family cemetery burial lots, on their respective farms in Luzerne township, Fayette county, Pennsylvania. Most had simple stones with initials only. One of those farms, being John Crawford Sr. (1762-1856)
John's will was registered 7 Aug 1856, stating "it is my will and desire that my body be interred on my farm" ... also that when children of age, to sell land "with the exception of the mansion house on 50 acres reserved for wife, and one half acre provided for a burial ground."
From the research of Charles K Crawford in the "The Crawfords from Deer Creek Maryland to the Monongahela River", he says one of the Crawford cemeteries was covered by coal slate. I have not confirmed this, but if so, it is possible to be this John Crawford's burial ground. Which would include part of the tract he sold to his son William, being part of the land later mined by Labelle Coke. (La Belle Coke vs Jeremiah Smith: Fayette County PA Supreme Court petition & appeal #210, argued 11 May 1908)
