Biography

William Harris Crawford (born February 24, 1772) was a United States senator from the state of Georgia and a member of the Republican Party. He served as a senator in the U.S. Congress representing Georgia from October 26, 1807, to December 31, 1813. During this period, he completed two terms in the Senate. Crawford’s service places him among the early generation of national legislators in the post-Revolutionary era, when the young republic was still defining its institutions and party system.

As a senator, Crawford held the formal role of Senator for Georgia and is recorded as a historical member of Congress. His tenure in office is identified as that of a former senator, and no specific committee assignments, office room, or contact details are listed in the available record. While additional aspects of his public life and career are not detailed in this metadata, his six-year service in the Senate marks him as a significant federal officeholder from Georgia in the early nineteenth century.
