Annie Crawford was born in Pennsylvania either about 1778 (if the census of 1850 was correct in placing her age at 72), or else around 1785 (her tombstone says she was 67 in 1852). She married James Hanlin around 1806, probably in Brooke County, Virginia (now West Virginia).
In 1824, Annie Crawford's father John Crawford died in Brooke County. John Crawford had not left a will, so his goods were sold at auction. James and Annie were at the estate auction. James Hanlin bought an iron kettle; and Annie made a number of purchases: the spinning wheel, a woman's saddle, a pewter dish, a "set [of] drawers," and an "old teapot," plus one or two other items. Annie was also due some land from her father's estate, though it took several years for the estate to settle.
Annie and James then migrated west to Indiana, and settled in Clark County in 1830. Initially they stopped in Charlestown Township (near a group of apparently related families, including McCormicks, McCoys, and some other Crawfords), but they afterwards bought land a few miles further north, in Oregon Township, and that is where Annie and James lived for the rest of their lives.
James Hanlin died in 1840; Annie lived for another twelve years. In the census of 1850, Ann Hanlin is head-of-household, with real estate worth four hundred dollars. Her daughters Mary and Jane are with her, and so is her son John. Her daughter Sallie (by this time married to William Brenton) is just a few doors away, and Annie's son John is also close by, with his wife Polly. Annie died two years after that census, in 1852.
