Crawford was the second son of Jonathan "Juber" Blevins & Mary Ann Smith. He married Mary Ann Miller the 16th of January 1902 in Scott County, TN. They had eleven children and adopted one granddaughter. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his older brother, Harvey Blevins (1879-1919)

Crawford was a Renaissance man. He was a farmer, healer, blacksmith, miller, a carpenter, and a wonderful storyteller.

He was also a mischievious prankster and the little boy inside of him never grew up.

My great-grandpa was a fantastic banjo player and could make his fiddle say "Sweet Pea".

Great-grandpa Crawford was in Muncie, Indiana, visiting my Grandpa Harve (his son)and all of his Indiana relatives, for a wonderful summer family reunion, after which, he died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 91.

Crawford was then taken home to be buried beside his wife, Mary, in the Black Oak Cemetery (also known as Opossum Rock) on Leatherwood Road in Scott County, Tennessee.
