John Francis Crawford

Under the will of Alexander Crawford of 1772, Crawford said he had agreed to purchase of Clement Tudway Esq. a plantation in Antigua called Evansons, which he left to his son and heir John Francis Crawford.. In his own will made in 1793 and proved in 1801, John Francis Crawford said he held Evansons under lease from Clement Tudway but owned the enslaved people on it outright: he instructed at the end of the lease that he enslaved people be sold. Presumably the land known as Evansons returned to Clement Tudway, possibly to be reabsorbed into another of his estates.
