The head of this household was Elizabet h Crawford, listed as age 75 and born in South Carolina in the 1 860 census. Elizabeth is possibly a grandmother to Samuel.

On December 31, 1862, Samuel, a 24 year old, became a private i n the Confederate 38th Infantry Co. F. According to Samuel's Co nfederate records he received $44.00 on May 3, 1863, for servic e from December 31, 1862 to April 30, 1863. He received this pa yment while a patient in the General Hospital.
