| Notes |
- Although details of Stephen Crow’s military service in the Revolutionary War have not come to light, both Stephen and his brother Isaac qualified to draw as a Revolutionary War soldiers in the 1805 and 1827 Georgia land lotteries though that doesn’t constitute evidence that their service was in Georgia. Land and census records place him as a resident of Chatham County., North Carolina during the period of the war as well as afterward as late as 1800. According to one source, he appears in the company of Captain Isiah (Isaiah) Hogan in Chatham County, North Carolina where his name, as well as his brothers, John, James, and Joshua, is misspelled as Cron rather than Crow.
Stephen Crow, one of (at least) nine children of James Crow and Grace Denson, was born 28 Feb 1749/50 in Orange County, North Carolina. In 1773 in Orange County, North Carolina, at the age of 23, Stephen married Margaret Stroud (born 1757; died 1838 in Clarke County, Georgia), the daughter of Revolutionary War soldier John Stroud and his wife Sarah.
Note that Stephen’s brother Isaac Crow, also a Revolutionary War soldier, married Elizabeth Stroud, a sister of Stephen’s wife Margaret In 1783, at the age of 33, Stephen purchased 150 acres on Stumps Mountain in Chatham County, North Carolina. He is listed in the 1790 census as a resident of Chatham County, North Carolina.
In 1795, Stephen and his brother John were executors of their father’s will. One year later Stephen bought the portion of his father’s home place which had been bequeathed to Stephen’s brother Isaac.
He is listed in the 1800 census as a resident of Chatham County, North Carolina
Between 1800-1804, Stephen and family moved to Clarke County, GA and joined the Mars Hill Baptist Church.
By 1805, he qualified as a year long resident of Georgia to take part in the Georgia land lottery. Though he wasn’t among the successful drawers in 1805, he drew again in the land lotteries for 1807 and 1827, receiving land in Wilkinson, Muscogee, and Coweta counties.
On January 17, 1806, Stephen Crow was excluded from the membership of Mars Hill Baptist Church.
On October 17, 1807, Stephen’s son-in-law Jeremiah Burnett (m. Rachel Crow) was ordained by Mars Hill Baptist Church to preach.
In 1807, Stephen was a resident of Brown's District, Clarke County, though he continued to own land in North Carolina as late as December 1808 when he sold 250 acres to his brother John.
In his will of June 8, 1832, Stephen Crow names his wife Margaret, sons Abner, Aaron, Martin, Joshua, Eli, and daughter Rachel Burnett. The executors are his wife Margaret Crow, Isaac Crow, and William Stroud.
Stephen Crow died at age 84 and his will was proved on July 7, 1834. (Clarke County, Georgia B page 135). He was buried here at Mars Hill Baptist Church, Watkinsville, Georgia
Two of Stephen and Margaret’s granddaughters, Nancy Ann and Naomi Burnett, married two sons, Jeremiah and Robert, of William Daniell, Sr. Two other grandchildren of Stephen and Margaret Crow married two grandchildren of William Daniell, Sr.
