Ron Horton Dec 24, 1996
My name is Ron Horton. My Grandfather was George Horton. He was born Jan. 13,
1879 in Frederic Mich. He died Aug. 27, 1959. Quite a few family legends
exist about this man, one of which he was the first white child born in
Crawford County (he played with Indians). He was a former township
supervisor and was reponsible for introducing the Grayling (fish) to the
area. Any information regarding this man would be appreciated. Please e-mail
me at RHorton383@aol.com if you have any information. Also, I have a family
bible that traces the Horton family 12 generations to 1700. Anyone tracing
Horton roots in Crawford County may e-mail me.

First, I am researching CRAWFORD so the interest here is simply how the
county got it's name and what is the story behind it.
Second, I am researching BASNEY, at least now it is, the name has French
origins. Any hit's out there would be appreciated.
Oops, CUSHMAN and TORK are a part of the BASNEY interest.
Thanks a heap!
