Hi, We think Mary crews is a decendant of David Crews who was born in Hanover, County VA. in 1731 He then went to Stokes County NC, Stokes county divided and then Forsyte County. Sincerely, Belinda Meadows

A few months ago I forwarded a series of posts from a court case involving this family. You ought to be able to find them on the archives of the list. If not let me know and I will see if I can post them again.

I need information on Mary Crews, wife of James Meredith. Her mother was Phoebe Goochee, a full-blood Cherokee Indian, but need father's name. Mary was born 1752, VA (do not know county); she married James 1769, Bedford Co., VA; she died and buried 1823 (?), Stokes Co., NC; her father may be William or Archie Crews? Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Joyce E. Maddy (jemaddy@aol.com)

Hello ! I added some items to my ALA ANCESTRY Home Page. Among other things.... 1. Put a GED2WWW file with a master list of 3939 names, over 800 surnames. 2. Added well over 200 names to the CARPENTER tree. These names came mostly from Mrs. Ross's book and were the more recent ancestors. 3. Added John Allen BRAMLETT death certificate, wedding license and Bible record. 4. Added a letter from Charles SPRAYBERRY describing his ancestry from Francis Marion SPRAYBERRY, Sr. on down. 5. Put my AVERY page back up. Placed "Caution!" labels on the Thomas Avery, Sr. d.1761 line and made some modifications. I left all the other ancestry outlines on my page and added the master index as I just got Familytreemaker's 6.0 version and it made it simple to connect even sidelines together into one tree. Let me know if you see any mistakes (I know there must be some). Thanks for everybody's help.

Hazel, I am still searching for the "exact" year, but I have narrowed down to between 1820 and 1826. Brenda At 10:12 AM 5/9/99 -0500, you wrote: >Brenda, > Do you have a death date for Elizabeth HARLAN, wife of Jeremiah CRUSE? >(Jeremiah b. 1765, VA) >Hazel > >

I have the same book on the CREWS family from Laura CREWS, it does not go back any farther than John CREWS and Elizabeth SAMPSON (I think that Johnson CREWS may be in error, as I have NEVER seen him referred to as Johnson in ANY records that I have for him). John and Elizabeth did have a son named William Johnson, which is where I suspect that name may have been extrapolated from. I am descended through John and Elizabeth's son James. I have sent queries to this list several times and though I have received a few responses, have never (that I recall) received any from other descendants of this line, so I'm just grateful to know there are others of us out there! :-) It is interesting to note however, that though Laura Crews' book covers the particular branch of that family that went to OK, there was an even greater number of them that went to the Crawford/Lawrence Co. area in IL. I have quite a bit of information on this branch should anyone wish to contact me regarding them. Finding the father of a John CREWS b. 1768 in Halifax Co., VA is like unto finding a needle in a haystack from what I can tell. I have recently seen records in Halifax however that appear to link the CREWS and SPRAGGINS families (William Johnson CREWS md. Amelia SPRAGGINS in IL), so there may be hope yet in being able to trace this particular CREWS line back farther than our John and Elizabeth. If anyone has any more information on this line, I would love to hear about it! And I'm willing to share whatever I have on descendants of James or others of John & Elizabeth's children who went to IL. Thanks!

Brenda, Do you have a death date for Elizabeth HARLAN, wife of Jeremiah CRUSE? (Jeremiah b. 1765, VA) Hazel

Linda, I'm stumped! And the "Crewy" spelling in completely new to me, but the note makes it seem like one of our "own" CREWS men!

There is a connection between Josiah Jeter Crews and John Allen Crews. I find it hard to lay out because of the cousin and in-law marriages, but here is what I have: John B. Crews 1785-1839 Halifax was the father of: John Bullock Crews 1814-1882 m Frances Sydnor & Louisa Jane Frances Barksdale (Frances & Louisa were cousins) Josiah Jeter 1816-1873 m Judith Armistead Sydnor Elizabeth James Crews 1818-1897 m William Sydnor Emiline Randolph Crews 1821-1882 m Beverly Sydnor Elvira Western Crews 1824-1887 m Epaphroditus Sydnor William Jeter Crews 1827-1884 m Louisa Wooding Robert Dabney Crews 1829-1873 m Sallie Royster (Frances, Judith, & Beverly Sydnor were sibs) (William & Epaphroditus were brothers) (The two groups of Sydnors were second cousins) (William's first cousin Elizabeth married John Camden McCraw, see below and his first cousin William married Susanna Coleman Barksdale aunt of Louisa Jane Frances Barksdale) John Bullock Crews was the father of: Ella C. Crews 1855-? m Basley Graves Helen T. Crews 1870-? Charles Crewshaw Crews 1866-1938 m Martha Caroline Woolfolk (g- daughter of Elizabeth James Crews) Elizabeth James Crews was the mother of: Mary Ann Bullock Sydnor 1836-1871 m Richard Oscar Woolfolk Elvira Randolph Sydnor 1840-1904 m Talbot Bragg jr & Charles Ransdell Thomas Griffin Sydnor 1846-1921 m Mary Florence Cake & Eliza Nichols Eugene Leland Sydnor m Mollie Colbert & Daisy Jackson & Henrietta Robinson Georgianna Cowan Woolfolk sister of Richard Oscar Woolfolk and daughter of John Allen Woolfolk m Beverly Sydnor Crews (son of John Bullock Crews & Frances Sydnor) had the following children: Carrie Leigh Crews m Thomas Applewhite Mamie Woolfolk Crews m David B. Drewry Bessie Gorden Crews m David B. Drewry John Allen Crews John Camden McCraw m Elizabeth Sydnor: their son John Armistead McCraw m Lucy Ann Sydnor (if you need her relationship to the others, let me know) Their son Beverly Sydnor McCraw m Helen Rebecca Woolfolk, daughter of Richard Oscar Woolfolk and Mary Ann Bullock Sydnor Their children were: John Armistead McCraw m Ruth Nelson Lowe Mary R. McCraw Caroline Woolfolk McCraw m Lawrence Newbill Elizabeth Sydnor McCraw Dorothy Burwell McCraw m Robert Wilder Bugg Richard Spotswood McCraw Martha Caroline (Callie) Woolfolk and Charles Crenshaw Crews had the following children: Helen Griffin Crews m William DeLoney Hull Charles Richard Crews Charlotte Crenshaw Crews You may have to draw a chart to figure out the relationships here. I think everyone is a cousin. Anyway, I have more on these families if anyone is interested.

Does anyone out there know any descendants of John Allen Crews who died in 1922? He was buried in Danville in Green Hill Cemetery. His mother Georgiana Cowan Woolfolk was the sister of my g-g-grandfather, John Allen Woolfolk of Troy, MO. I have Woolfolk info I can share. Thanks, Judy

Judith, Nothing on my end. Yes, I'd appreciate anything you can add on this group!!! That's includes "Woolfolk". I have a few by that name, but no way of knowing if there's a link. It does include one of the more unusual female names, though. Elizabeth Allen WOOLFOLK. Does that ring a bell? She b. 1868 d/o Richard WOOLFOLK & Mary Ann SYDNOR.
