Her father was a fisherman in County Down Ireland. She was married to, John Scott, and had four children, two being born in Ireland. She died in Chippewa Township. She had a sister in America, Mrs. John Wallace , whose son, Robert Wallace, lived in Beaver County also.

"My great-great grandfather, Crawford, was a fisherman. He lived in County Down, Ireland, At one time there was a great storm at sea. Grandfather and sons thought it was too bad to go out, and so stayed at home. All who did go out were lost and nearly all of the children and wives were left orphans and widows. After a time his daughter, Elizabeth, married a young fellow by the name of John Scott.
He was an earnest christian as well as a good weaver. He was in the habit of noon-day prayer. When working in the bog, he would stop at noon for prayer. He had one brother, David, who never married. He made his home with my grandfather for a time.
John Scott's, wife Elizabeth, 'was a small woman, and in her old days she was very much bent over and went crippling around. She was much loved by her grandchildren. I have heard father tell of her slipping money into his hand and telling him it was for his spending money. They lived together for a time. They had two children while in Ireland, one of whom was my grandfather.
About this time the Catholics got into power. Great grandfather made some remarks about the Catholics, which was in some way repeated to them and they put him, in prison. While he was in prison, it was decided that his wife should go to America. So with her two boys she left the Emerald lsle for America. What a sad aching heart she must have had!
She left her husband in prison not knowing what his fate would be. She came to Baltimore, Md. And stayed one year, when her husband came. He had been exiled from Ireland to America. In a very few years they moved to Beaver Co., Pa. He farmed the most of the time, though he never gave up his weaving. He made all kinds of cloth. They often made whole suits and gave them to their grandchildren.
Their children numbered four: William, John, Jane, James.
Great grandfather died in 1844, aged 82 yrs. His wife, died in 1853 aged 94."--Fay Scott Oline (Dec. 24, 1904)
