1930 census lists Crawford Greenlaw's race as Mulatto.
Parents are Horrace Walter Greenlaw of Arkansas and his mother is Maude Mae Brown (the daughter of Mose Brown and niece of the notorious outlaw Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby).
Maude Brown was the daughter of Mose Brown (1860 – 1894) and Georgia Ellen Goldsby
(1873 – )
Mose was shot by Georgia's brother, Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby.
"In September 1894 Cherokee Bill shot and killed his brother-in-law, Mose Brown, reportedly over an argument about some hogs. The account of the incident as stated by the daughter of Georgia and Mose relates to her mother receiving a letter from Cherokee Bill requesting that she visit him.
However, Mose objected to her going and later insisted on going along despite the pleas from Georgia that he not accompany her on the trip. Upon their arrival at the location Cherokee Bill was residing, Mose was asked why he came and during the altercation that followed Mose was shot and killed."
Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby was subsequently hanged for murder.
