Crawfordland (in older times spelled Crawfurdland, Crawfoordland, etc) was
one of the estates in the Fenwick area. When the notes I sent before speak of
the tenantry, they're talking about farmers (like mine) who leased their land
from this estate. I don't have any more specifics on the Crawfords, but I
will say there was a lot of moving to and fro between Scotland and Ireland.
Heck, I have cousins today originally from Glasgow that found work at
Belfast, so things don't change that much.:)
