Working backwards from children to parents, it is now time to present the parents of John, Wilson, Absalom, James B. & Elizabeth.
1. He died on 23 Apr 1809 at the age of 66 in Pendleton Co., Kentucky. 1–2 Thomas Crail, Jr. was reportedly born in Frederick Co., Maryland. Most of the references to the family around the time of his birth seem to be based in Harford County, so it is possible that he was born there. Perhaps his parents were living in Frederick Co. in 1743 and then settled in Harford Co. by 1745.
Thomas was made a freeman in London Derry, Chester Co., PA in 1767. Crail married about 1773 to Elizabeth Berry, probably in Maryland. Thomas Crail was a private 4th class in Captain Charles Reed's 2nd Company in Lt. Col. John Marshal's 4th Battalion in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Thomas was living near brother John in Beaver Co. [later Allegheny Co.], Pennsylvania in 1790. He was on the Allegheny Tav list for 1791.
By 1795 he was on the Campbell Co., Kentucky tax list showing 1 adult male, 2 males 16 and older, 2 horses, and 4 cattle. The 1796 Campbell Co. tax list showed 2 adult males, 2 males over 16, 1 horse, and 6 cattle.
John Grant [Grant's Lick named in his honor] sold, by agreement, an unrecorded 150 acres one the North Licking River to Thomas Crail on 14 April 1797. This land became part of Pendleton County in 1798. According to letters from E.E. Barton to local families, the Crails were among the early settlers of Pendleton County.
On 18 September 1799, Crail bought household items from the estate of Peter Horn. His name appeared on the 1801-1808 Pendleton Co. tax lists with 150 acres of land.
Thomas Crail's will was dated 10 April 1809 and probated on 15 May 1809. The will named wife Elizabeth, sons Wilson, Absalom, James and John, and daughter Elizabeth Downing. Also named are Elizabeth's husband, Edward, and children Eliza, Sally, Elizabeth, and Polly. John was to receive $1 from the estate unless he returned a power of attorney and deed for 336 acres near Chillicothe, Ross Co., OH. Thomas died on 23 April 1809.
Wilson Crail, executor and heir, petitioned the court to legalize the 1797 deed agreement [Pendleton Co. Deed Book C3]. An appraisement of the estate was entered on 17 June 1809. The inventory was made by Stephen Mullins, John Boyle and Pope Williams. Elizabeth's name appeared on the tax lists for 1809-10 with 150 acres.
Thomas was buried in the Thrasher Cemetery.
