He became a leader in Cary’s Rebellion and his home was prison to several of the NC colony officers, including acting Governor, Thomas Miller. Crawford made frequent trips to England where he served as Power of Attorney in the NC colony for several merchants in London. In the mid 1690’s Crawford and his wife moved to Norfolk Co., VA, where he died.
