Elizabeth CROWLEY and unk husband
I am seeking information on the unknown husband of Elizabeth (RASCO/ROSCOE) CROWLEY.
The following was taken from "Freedman's Bureau Ration Book, May - September 1866, Darlington County, South Carolina" as transcribed by Scott Wilds of Philadelphia, Pa." 172. ELIZABETH
CROWLEY, white, widow, is 52 years old. Lives in CHESTERFIELD, 9 miles from CHERAW on
stage road running to Camden. Lives with her mother named MINDA RASCO, 98 years old, on CREUSLARR's [?] PLACE. Has about one acre of Corn and Potatoes, ect. Has no stock of any
sort. Issued for ten (10) days. Certificate of merit signed by Mr. Stephen H. Parker." I am of the
opinion that this Elizabeth CROWLEY is the same person as Elizabeth RASCO who was listed in the household of Hugh COKER in the 1860 census of Chesterfield County, page 99, dwelling and family number 76. The age given for her mother, Minda RASCO, is probably overstated by about 10 years
in the Freedman's Bureau account book. Believe that Elizabeth was a sister of Oliver, Riley, Rachel,
Marie, and Jane RASCO (ROSCOE).
Questions:
1. What was the given name of the CROWLEY husband of Elizabeth?
2. When and where did they marry?
3. When and where did Elizabeth's husband died?
4. When and where did Elizabeth die?
5. Where are they buried?
6. Did they have any children?

CROWLEY Family of Chesterfield County
I am researching my ancestry from Chesterfield County. Andrew Jackson CROWLEY was my
Great, Great Grandfather. Early this year, before you update your website for 2005, I saw a posting for a CROWLEY Reunion to be held Sept. 12, 2004 at the Chesterfield Rescue Squad Building. I have been watching your site hoping to see a 2005 posting for the CROWLEY Reunion. Having seen no posting I decided to call the rescue squad to see if they could put me in touch with whom ever had scheduled their building. They were unable to help me. I am hoping that you will be able to tell me who posted the CROWLEY Reunion on your site, so that I may get in touch with them. Or if you prefer, give them my name, phone number and e-mail address:

Thank you,
