Colonel William Crawford’s ancestors, are my ancestors. Did he know Captain Ezekiel Rose was his kin? These warriors would lead 489 armed men against the Indians. Most of them were Scot-Irish. It was at the end of the Revolutionary War that was won by these immigrants from Ireland and Scotland, who had been on the warpath with the English for hundreds of years. The English had allied themselves with several tribes to go to war with their old foes.
American politics has entered a more open Cowboy verses the Indians, phase. President Bush just gave a speech, and pleaded for tolerance of Immigrants. President Trump has taken a stand against immigration and sees the whole Democratic Party as Hostiles who are all for the Foreign Invaders and crimes against White People. It is quite clear the Whites are the Immigrant-Invaders, that all but a handful of Native Americans, were determined to repel, and, exterminate.
I am now promoting a movie about Crawford’s defeat. I would like Spielberg to direct this movie that can become a series by Ken Burnes. This is The War for America.

“In contrast to the Wyandots and Delawares, the Shawnees burned a number of captives following the Battle of Sandusky with little or no regard for military rank. Not all the captives, of course, were from Crawford’s army; twelve Americans caught in Kentucky about the same time were reported to have arrived at Wapatomica where they were parceled out to other towns for burning.20 In this bicentennial report I will also include part of a letter received from Helen York Rose of Seminole, Oklahoma, a registered Delaware and the only Indian member of the “First Families of Ohio” genealogical organization. In response to my request for information concerning Indian archives under tribal control, she replied that Indian history has to be “dug out” little by little…. itis very difficult to get an Indian to tell our legends to white people. It so happens I was the one in our family to listen to the Older Delawares. …My own great grandmother, Sally Olivia Journey Cake Smith, always spent the time mourning for our people on the dates of slaughter [Gnadenhiitten massacre]. … The way to the battle of Sandusky is spattered with blood. What makes it so personal to me, Capt. Pipe’s band was my own ancestors band. … I am not only an Indian but collateral kin to the Crawford family, a brother of my captive grandmother, Mary Castleman, was married to Ann Crawford, related to Col. Crawford. I try to keep an open mind about the old, harsh times when my white ancestors were killing my Indians and my Indians burning white kin — with mixed blood that isn’t very easy sometimes. The battle at Sandusky had its start with the slaughter of the Christian Delawares by Williamson and his Pa. troops. Although Col. Crawford didn’t take part in the murder of the Christian Delawares, Williamson and his troops were under him….Keeping in mind it was the belief of the Indians ifone was murdered the family had the right to murder the offender if not, a member of the family paid the price and was put to death. … Ithink one has to be of Indian descent to fully realize the close kinship of Indians….21 From all accounts, white and Indian, Colonel Crawford died bravely. He was sixty years old. Heavy-set, he stood about five feet, ten inches tall. His eyes were blue, his skin fair, and his hair irongray.22″
Ezekiel Rose served as captain in the 5th Bn Washington County, Pennsylvania. He fought in battles including the Battle of Sandusky in the Ohio region where he eventually moved and died.

The will was proved 25 May 1818. The settlement is cited as #445,
Muskingum County, Ohio.
In 1812 he, or his son, platted the town of New Milford, Ohio which was renamed for him after his death to Roseville, Ohio. He is buried in the center of the Roseville Cemetery just south of the flag pole.
information from a Muskingum Co book of wills. Book
Roseville was laid out in 1812 by Ezekiel Rose. It was initially named New Milford, but the name had been changed to Roseville by the time a post office was applied for in 1830.[7] By 1833, Roseville had a gristmill and saw mill.[8] Roseville was incorporated in 1840, with Dr. James Little elected as the first mayor.
The Roseville area was noted for its pottery production. The Roseville Pottery Company operated from around 1890 to 1954, and was a premiere producer of art pottery in the early 20th century.

Child of John Crawford and —- unknown —- 1. DAVID CRAWFORD, b 1623/25 Kilbernie, Ayrshire, Scotland d 13 Dec 1689 New Kent, New Kent Co, VA
David Crawford DAVID CRAWFORD was born 1623/25 in Kilbernie, Ayrshire, Scotland, and died 13 Dec 1689 in New Kent, New Kent County, Virginia. He married in 1654/56 to Jane —- born 1633 in Virginia. Various spellings in legal documents have the Crawford name as Craford or Crafford. In 1667, David had 86 acres of land located in the parish of Martyn’s Hundred in James City County granted by Sir William Berkeley, the Governor of the Colony of Virginia. The second grant of land to David was in 1672 for 1000 acres of land as “lying in ye branches of Mattadegun Creeke, in New Kent County” for having brought into the colony twenty persons. He acquired other lands: 1,350, 375, 1,300, 277, and 196 acres, most in St. Paul’s Parish and St Peter’s Parish in New Kent County or Hanover County.
“David Crawford belonged to the slave-holding aristocacy of the Old Dominion which so closely resembled the feudal nobility of earlier times.” He certaintly had Indian servants whom he said he had purchased. The way of life in Virginia at this period became very gracious for those who could afford it. Almost from one generation to the next, this class went from primitive shelters to homes built of brick. Mostly constructed of two stories, these homes had large rooms and high ceilings, large windows with glass to take care of the heat in summer. The kitchen and any other areas which were considered other than living areas were separated. So was born the southern tradition of the ‘main’ house surrounded by smaller buildings for cooking, washing, and dairy products.
