Biography
William Crawford was born to Jeptha and Catherine Crawford in Clay County, Kentucky. The family moved to Texas in 1843.
During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, he served as a colonel in the Confederate States Army.
As a member of the Constitutional Convention of Texas held in 1875, Crawford succeeded in having a clause inserted in the constitution providing for the popular election of all judges. Years later he stated that it was a great mistake; that they should have been appointed.
He served as a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1892 to 1893.
