Andrea,
Did you receive the marriage / land deed info I sent to you?I believe the link is this.
Hannah Crowley's maiden name was Potts.She was the daughter of Joshua and Sarah Potts.Joshua was born in South Caroline in about 1787, then moved to Alabama, then Calloway County Kentucky, and then Wayne County Missouri in About 1860.
The Potts and Crowley families seemed to be moving together.I believe that Joseph and Hannah Crowley were the parents to Jim Crowley, who was the parent of John Crowley (my great grandfather,who was born in the 1850's?.
Here is my theory (based on the land deeds)...Joshua Potts sold land to his son-inlaw (Joseph Crowley) in Calloway County Kentucky.A few years later, Joseph's sones (Jim and his brother(s?)) set out for Missouri to 'scout the territory' or make land claims.After they settled, both the remaining Crowley's and the Pott's followed them to Southern Missouri..
You can get some info on the potts at the following page... there seems to be a link between the families beyond the marriage and land transaction....
