Note: The arrangement of the evidence in this table is not meant to suggest that all of the noted occurrences of the name are necessarily for the same individual Crawford.

Crawfords, Neighbors and Witnesses
From the information appearing in Table 3, it is possible to make some inferences about persons who were frequently associated with the Crawfords. These inferences are based on an analysis of the names that appear in conjunction with some of the Crawfords. This analysis is summarized in Table 5, which shows the names of persons who appear as neighbors, witnesses, or otherwise in conjunction with the Crawfords, the number of times that each name appears, and the years in which the appearances are made. In Table 5, James Brewer is the non-Crawford name that most frequently appears. This name also appears over a long period of time -- 1790 through 1806. An additional association between the Crawfords and James Brewer is that the marriage license for William Crawford and Patsey Bailey was directed to a Reverend Brewer [80]. James Brewer is identified elsewhere [34, p. 93] as a minister, so he is probably the Reverend Brewer mentioned. There are a number of other instances in which Crawfords and Brewers interacted. From this data, a long and close association between James Brewer, the Brewer family, and the Crawford family can be inferred. In addition to the Brewers, all of the following persons had two or more documented contacts with the Crawfords while in Effingham County: Christopher Bailey, William Beal, Henry Cook, Robert Hughes, Clement Lanier, Thomas Morgan and Richard Touchstone. Christopher Bailey was a neighbor of James Crawford, and may have been related to Martha Bailey, who married William Crawford. William Beal witnessed a transaction for James Crawford, and John Crawford held a mortgage for William Beal. Henry Cook was also a neighbor of James, and bought James' land in 1813. Robert Hughes bought the land occupied by John and James in 1795. Later, John Crawford owned land next to Robert Hughes . Clement Lanier was a governmental official, so his appearance in conjunction with land transactions is not significant. Thomas Morgan purchased land from both John and James, perhaps when John and James left Effingham County. Thomas Morgan also married Lucretia Crawford, who was probably a daughter of John and Priscilla Crawford. The marriage of Richard Touchstone and Martha Crawford, the widow of William Crawford, has already been discussed.
