Was Crawford a slave owner?[edit]

Template question[edit]

Why is the template for "Secretaries of the War and Secretaries of the Army" a different color than all the rest? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.172.169.35 (talk) 19:36, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:CRAWFORD, William H-Treasury (BEP engraved portrait).jpg to appear as POTD soon[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:CRAWFORD, William H-Treasury (BEP engraved portrait).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 24, 2018. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-02-24. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

William H. Crawford (1772–1834) was an American politician and judge during the early 19th century. He served as United States Secretary of War and United States Secretary of the Treasury before running for president in the 1824 election. Born in Virginia, Crawford moved to Georgia at a young age and studied law. In 1803 he was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives, and in 1807 the Georgia legislature elected him to the United States Senate. Under President James Madison, he was made U.S. minister to France before taking several cabinet posts. Despite suffering a severe stroke in 1823, Crawford sought the presidency with the Democratic-Republican Party. As no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote, the United States House of Representatives selected John Quincy Adams as president from the three candidates who had received the most electoral votes. Crawford was then asked to remain at Treasury, but refused, and spent the last decade of his life as a judge of the Georgia state superior court.Engraving: Bureau of Engraving and Printing; restoration: Andrew Shiva

Crawford's Legacy[edit]

CORRECTION NEEDED:

   The Wikipedia article on William H. Crawford ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Crawford ) under “Legacy” lists Crawford County, Michigan as having been named after Crawford. No source is provided. 
   The article on Crawford County ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawford_County,_Michigan ), however, says “The county is named for Col. William Crawford,[5] a Revolutionary War soldier killed in 1782 while fighting Native Americans in Ohio. It was created by the Michigan Legislature in 1840 As Shawono County, then renamed Crawford County in 1843.”  A source is provided for that statement.
   Can the original drafter of this article please either provide a source for the statement that Crawford County, Michigan is named for William H. Crawford or else delete Crawford County, Michigan from being listed under Crawford's legacy?Berrienjohn (talk) 15:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
