1. He died between 1860 and 1870 at the age of 81 in probably Des Moines Twp., Vav Buren Co., Iowa [possibly Scotland Co., Kansas]. 1–2 Absalom was the third son of Thomas and Elizabeth [Berry] Crail. He was born in Maryland and joined the family migration to Indiana. Absalom later moved to Iowa with his son George, who served in the Civil War.
Absalom married Lydia Tate on 31 May 1804 in Pendleton Co., KY. Crail had moved to Campbell Co. by 1807. He relocated to Whitewater Twp., Hamilton Co., OH during the late 1820s. Absalom was taxed there in 1830, 1833, 1834 and 1836. The next move was to Shelby Co., IN, where several members of the extended Crail family had settled. Absalom resided in Liberty and Hendricks Townships into the 1850s.
Although the Crail Register Report gives his death as 1880 in Hendricks Twp., Shelby Co., Indiana, Absalom last appears in the census in 1860 in Des Moines Twp., Van Buren Co., Iowa. He is shown living in the hosehold of his son George. Absalom was aged 80 and blind. [M653_342, p. 56, 25 June 1860]. It would appear that Absalom died between 1860 and 1870. He does not appear on any later census.
Absalom's wife Lydia appears do have died before 1860. She was listed as being 68 on the 1850 Hendricks Twp., Shelby Co., Indiana Census. [M432_172, p. 217]
