Barga - Family History & Genealogy Message Board

Looking for more George W (Washington) Baraghiser/barga info.

charocfl — 2007-05-23 23:42:38Z

Hi, I am researching info on Jackson H Crawford family in Ohio. I have a photo of Laura (Bargahiser) Crawford/Price at:
http://charocfl.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=charocfl...

Note that after Jackson Henry Crawford was shot on duty as Chief of Police of Findlay she remarried to a Mr. Albert Price in Ohio. I would appreciate any info on Mr. Price's line to add to my family database.

Also note that Laura Bargahiser surname was also spelled as:
Barga
Bargaheiser
Bargahizer
Berkheiser

Laura’s portents from PA were George Washington (G W Bargahiser) & Fanny (Fannie) Coble.
Also note that the Coble surname was also spelled as Koble.

I am trying to verify the date that J. H. Crawford was shot while performing his duties at work. I believe it to be Apr 09 1923 & my mom said he was actually shot at work or at his office.

I would like to know if there is any place or person to contact to get a copy of the obit for Jack H. Crawford who was the Police chief of the Findley Ohio at the time of his death.

To see a photo of J h Crawford taken in 1904 when he was a policeman go to this link:
http://charocfl.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=charocfl...

The caption said the photo was taken in front of the Municipal building. Also in the photo are (from L-R): Harry Stark clerk in the water works office; Russell Morrison, police court clerk; John Kramer, chief of police; (NOTE: J H Crawford is listed as Jack Crawford, policeman; Will Heck, city auditor and Clark Edie, city clerk. The children are listed as unknown but my grand father Verl B. Crawford would have been about 12 years at the time of the photo & I know Aunt Myrtle (Myrt) Crawford was a few years younger & was short when she died. Note Myrtle or Myrt Crawford married a Mr. Binder & moved to Toledo OH where she became a chiropractor.

I am also currently trying to also find data on J H Crawford’s ancestors who originated in Ireland, possibly Tipperary & settled in around the Warren County Pennsylvania area, ref.:
http://charocfl.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=charocfl...
&
http://charocfl.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=charocfl...

The only data that I can verify at this time is that William and Catherine (Duggan) Crawford they were married March 27, 1829 also in Tipperary on Mar 27 1829. I have found several different links with this same data. But I have not been able to confirm the data that Ann Johnson posted indicating that Patrick Henry Crawford for Tipperary, Ireland was baptism in 1842 in Tipperary, Ireland and married to Margaret Downs she was also born in Ireland. Note that Jackson Henry Crawford was born on May 27 1865 in PA, USA but that is all the PA data I have on him.

Patrick H. Crawford & Margaret Downs 9 children were:
Helen
M F & which I believe to possibly be Mike F or Michael F.
George
Mary
Tom or possibly Thomas
Sarah
James
Alice
Margaret

Appreciate any assistance with any or all research listed above.

Thanks:
Char O.

We are trying to help with the family history of the Barga name from France to Western Ohio. We have discovered through relatives with the church, that the name was changed from Barge to Barga sometime in the 1800's.

Victor Barga was born in 1884, and his father was Jacob Barga.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

In doing research into my family lineage on my father's side I have discovered that Bargahiser (or some variation of that name) was the origin for the name of BARGA.

Our lineage comes from Bernice Bargahiser who died in childbirth in Rockford OH. Her father was AJ Bargahizer. His father was Levi Jacob Bargahizer. Levi was the bound boy who escaped the Zimmerman massacre in Western Ohio (took place around 1811). He had a brother who also came to Ohio as a young adult. They were born in VA. lived in PA for a period of time. At the age of 4 years old, Jacob (Levi's brother) was put in a poor house in Rockingham County VA. We think that it was at this time that Levi became a bound boy. Their parents were Barbara and Jacob. They also had a sister named Elizabeth who married a Rawley and they too eventually emmigrated to Ohio.

I am not certain if this is of any help or matches your family history at all - but thought it might give you some insight.
