Elizabeth Crow

There is an Elizabeth Crow in my family who had a brother named John.She was married to a man named Montey Bates, who, along with her brother John, was killed on a trip into what would later become WV to claim land. They were killed around 1789.Perhaps your Elizabeth is the neice of my Elizabeth, or possibly there is a mix-up concerning year of birth.I read that she moved into a fort after that, and I believe Elizabeth remarried, but I am not sure.
My families are mainly Booher, Swiger, Bates, Backus, Coffman with a few others thrown in.Many of them moved into Virginia (the area which later became WV) as early settlers in the 1700's. They started out in PA.
