Living with them there was Mary Brann (or Brien) who was listed as having been born in Ireland about 1828 It is not known if she was related to the Crawfords. A daughter Johanna was born in 1852 and Margaret was born in 1853. Both of these girls were retarded. On Nov 3, 1836, the fourth daughter, Catherine, was born in Dunkirk, New York. Shortly after this, the Craford family traveled the Great Lakes and finally settled in Eastman, Wisconsin. Here Dennis Crawford purchased 165 acres of land on April 8, 1857.

Dennis Crawford remarried about 1865 to Johanna Crowley Connell, a widow who had at least five children of her own. To this union was born Thomas Crawford about 1866.
