    1. Crumpton Button
    2. Dan Crumpton
    3. My niece, Nancy Crumpton Jones, in Savannah gave me a Crumpton button. I'm looking at it now. Her boyfriend obtained it for us. It measures about 3/4 inch in diameter and silver in appearance. It looks like a military button with what appears to be an eagle on the outside (appearance side). On the inside is "Crumpton" . I am told these buttons were made in 1810 or 1811 (possibly Philladelphia or New York) for use my our military in the War of 1812. Would appreciate any help out there to help trace the Crumpton family who made these buttons. Many thanks, Dan Crumpton email gen@Thomson.net
