Searching for the Parents of Jeffrey Crowley
Sue Crowley, who is the chair of our Jeffrey Crowley Descendants Committee, has compiled this list of possible parents of Jeffrey Crowley who was born ca. 1700 in England and immigrated to Virginia sometime before 1730. His descendants in the United States are many.
Seven different sets of parents have been suggested for Jeffrey. Sue is trying to get some documentation for these suggestions so she can prove who the parents are. She would welcome information and comments. The possibilities are as follows.
