Dear Tom: In the late 1700s', and early 1800s' ,in the rectangle area of Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Laurens, Pendleton and Fairfield Counties, South Carolina, there were families, by different spellings, Compton, Crumpton and Crompton. We know that some of the same families were "spelled" differently by different people; for instance, my Luke Crumpton was spelled at least these three (3) different ways in the deed, court cases and census references. My father and his grandfather had the name Crumpton, but I am researching other spellings for earlier ancestors. Many thanks, and I'll shoot you what I have on Crompton spellings. Please give me you mailing address.

Do you have info connecting the two names, or did they evolve as different spellings? If so, I had never heard this, and would be interested in learning more. > >Also, you mentioned you had info on other Cromptons. I would be interested in origins and time periods. > >Regards, >Tom Crompton >
