‡ General

The Ambrose Crain you have information listed about was never married to Elizabeth Head. The Ambrose Crain married to Elizabeth Head lived in Pennsylvania. The families of these two Ambrose Crains are often confused. The Ambrose Crain who died in Georgia, and is my ancestor, was also married to an Elizabeth, but her maiden name is unknown at this time.
