Samuel Crozier was born 1 Aug 1775 in Abbeville, South Caroline to James Crozier (1752-1789) & Mary Agnes Thompson (1753-1775). he was my 5th Great- Grandfather.
There are many Crozier's and it is very easy to mix them up, so my research is still an ongoing effort and by no means completed. I live in Illinois so I will see what kind of things I can find here to help build his tree. In the meantime here is what I have found so far on my 5th Great Grandfather.
