Hiscox of Woodstock secured many of the relics for parties in New York city, and MT. Mcfarland of Wales carried off a number of old and val uable books and records. MT. CraW- ford was the only Crawford who owned any part of the old original land, divided many generations ago by his ancestors It seems that away back in the early stage of the town one Crawford gave to all his sons and daughters each a farm, and they in time either sold or moved away from their places, all but Fayette's s family, they alone holding until his death the original land.
