Andy, I forgot to comment on if Eliazabeth EARLs' name is with an "e" or not . I have her and her father with no "e", but since they're from England , I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that it should have an "e". Where did you see it with an "e"? I've been going back over the first issues of CREWS-L and found your note asking why John changed his name from CREW to CREWS with and "s". He probably didn't change it and I'm not sure why an "s" has been added. Our theory is that the "s" orginally denoted possession, as in someone saying, "That belongs to the CREWS" or CREW-SES. Most of the people of that name are spelling it with an "s", but not all. We still find people who have the original(?) spelling. Even some spelling it CREWE just like CREWE, England. We really DO try to spell it however the records show. But I know I mess up quite a bit. I think we use "CREWS" as a generic term but it could really be another spelling. My own family is CREWS so I guess I can be excused a little? <G> I have another question on the ancestors of "Junius Polk CREWS". You say he is s/o James S. CREWS and Sarah HIGHT. And James was s/o Littleberry CREWS and Elizabeth EARL? I have 5 children for Littleberry & Eliz. and one is James Fletcher CREWS who m. A.M. NICHOLS. I show that Littleberry had another James by Nancy CHEATHAM. I have no wife for this James. Now do I have something wrong here? Who is James S. CREWS? Is his mother Nancy CHEATHAM? Pat

Folks, I'm not if sure anyone wants this, but I've attached a copy of a Hunt descendant chart. It now includes marriage ties to six different Crews.

Hunt (-) sp: Rom Parker (-) 3-David Alexander Hunt (-) 2-Mourning Hunt (17 Jul 1792-) 2-Ann Taylor Hunt (27 Jul 1794-) Note 1: Frances Penn (born 30 Jan 1756, and wife of John Hunt, Sr.) was the daughter of Joseph Penn and Mary Taylor. Joseph's brother, Moses Penn, married Mary's sister, Catherine Taylor. Their child, John Penn (Frances' double first cousin), signed the Declaration of Independence. There is a memorial to him at the Guilford Courthouse in North Carolina. Note 2: Frances Penn had a grandmother named Catherine "Pendleton", and, of course, many grandchilren and great-grandchildren who married descendants of the "Gideon Crews" who died in 1815 in Granville Co., NC. These names are of interest for the following reason. A month or so back I queried the group about a "Gideon Crews" who lived in Amherst County, VA and who died in 1798. You may recall that this Amherst Gideon lived in a home that is now resided in by the President of Sweetbriar College. To date, no one has been able to place this Gideon Crews (or his son Joseph), yet interestingly, this Gideon was also an acquaintance of both "Penns" and "Pendletons" (for example, he witnessed the sale of land from a John Penn to a Joseph Penn, he is mentioned in a George Penn�s will, and a James Pendleton is mentioned in his son�s will). It may just be a coincidence, but I think it�s interesting. Dan

Andy & Pat, I have a Sarah HIGHT as the 1st wife of John S. CREWS, s/o Littleberry CREWS and Elizabeth EARL. John md. 2nd Sarah E. Flowers. I have a James Crews born ca 1827 as a "possible" son of Littleberry and Nancy Cheatham but not proven. HELP!!

Pat and Andy, Well, Andy's message just came through. Sorry I complained. I need to wait longer before I scream so loud. <GG> Hazel

Pat and Andy, I think this is a good example of why it would be nice if we would all post to the list but direct the message to the individual the post applies to. For example, I for one, am not sure who Andy & Pat are talking about. I must have missed Andy's post or else he initially wrote privately to Pat .... or something.....Maybe I have yet to catch on to how this is supposed to work.

Dan, I have 3 others CREWS/HUNT marriages and would love more info on the HUNT ladies. Dorothy "Dolly" HUNT m. David CREWS Sr. (John, Thomas who. m. Sarah ___? ) David b. 1823 and they lvd in Charlotte & Halifax Co's VA Ruth HUNT d/o Ambrose HUNT m. John "Turkey" CREWS b. bef 1768 VA - m. 1789 Halifax Co, VA Lula HUNT m. Jacob T. CREWS b. 1867/68 Hermanville KS Jacob s/o John W. CREWS & Elizabeth LEWIS Pat

Andy, Well, there you go! Junius's everywhere! I didn't even have a wife for James CREWS and now you say her name is Sarah HIGHT? Of course that means I have no children for them, either, until Junius, that is. Are there others? And gch, and ggch, etc? You guys just keep coming up with more data! I'm in heaven! Pat

Dan and Chuck, Have followed your messages re. the Crews who md. Hannah Hunt. For whatever it is worth: I have Benjamin Franklin CREWS, Jr., son of Gideon CREWS, Jr. and Temperance Lemay. B.F. CREWS, Jr. born 11 Dec. 1809 Granville Co.,NC md. 1st Fannie ELLIS on 18 July 1829 and md. 2nd Hannah HUNT on 12 Aug. 1845. Each marriage produced 3 known issue. Some sources: Hays Collection at the Richard H. Thornton Library in Oxford, NC stating Emma Lunsford was the wife of Benjamin's son, Eugene T. CREWS & thusly Benjamin had 2 wives only; Fannie ELLIS & Hannah HUNT. Publication 25 June 1929 in the Oxford Public Ledger, Oxford, NC newspaper states Benjamin F. CREWS, Jr. was the father of A. CREWS and J.B. CREWS and Eugene T. CREWS, well known men over the county of Granville, NC. I do not know why this Benjamin Franklin CREWS carried the Jr. inasmuch as there were lots of Benjamin CREWs, as you well know but the only other Benjamin Franklin CREWS or CREW I could find was Benjamin Franklin CREW, son of David CREW and Sarah GOOCH so I guess that one would be the Senior. Sorry to rattle on so but wondered if this would be of any help. Hazel

Pat, Regarding you "Junius" query.... I have a co-worker named Junius. I don't think the name is too obscure, just uncommon. I also show a Junius Polk CREWS as the son of James S. CREWS and Sarah HIGHT. James was the son of Littleberry CREWS and Elizabeth EARL. (Is there an "e" on the end of her name? I have her father listed as John EARLE.) Andy Crews

In a message dated 98-01-20 21:18:34 EST, you write: << I have yet another daughter of John and Sarah Hunt, namely Hannah B. Hunt, who married a Crews, namely Franklin B. Crews. However, I do not know who Franklin�s ancestors were. Can anyone help?

Crews is son of Gideon Crews and Temperance Lemay. I have a Benjamin Franklin Crews as child of Gideon and Temperance. I wonder if Franklin B. is Benjamin Franklin? Chuck

Chuck�s descendant chart for James Crews and Sarah Earl highlights an interesting fact. As shown, James and Sarah Crews had at least five children or grandchildren who married Hunts. Of these Hunt spouses, four were children or grandchildren of John Penn Hunt and Sarah Longmire, and the fifth was a niece. In my own database, I have yet another daughter of John and Sarah Hunt, namely Hannah B. Hunt, who married a Crews, namely Franklin B. Crews. However, I do not know who Franklin�s ancestors were. Can anyone help? Also, does anyone know of any other Crews-Hunt marriages? Thanks, Dan

Pat, You can add this data to the information Chuck provided on the descendants of James Crews and Sarah Earl. Below are some of the descendants of their son Elijah Thomas Crews and his wife Mary A. Parham (from the "Sketches" book by T. T. Hicks): 1-Elijah Thomas Crews (1826-1881) sp: Mary A. Parham (-) 2-Haden W. Crews (abt 1848-Mar 1924) sp: Elizabeth Hicks (-) 3-N. H. Crews (-) 2-Herbert E.

Crews

Hi You..all, This is my first try at posting after signing up for CREWS-L. I am interested in further info about Nancy WADE, the first wife of Meredith CREWS. Could she be the Nancy CREWS that I have been looking for below? Any help would be appreciated. Jack Crewse, St. Louis,MO [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1830 Rhea Co, TN Census - Nancy CREWS 11101-1101101 page 389 The very next line of the 1830 Census lists - Martin CREWS 10001-0001 (relation unknown) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe the breakdown for Nancy CREWS family would be: Age Male - Female age brackets 0 to 5 1 - 1 b. 1825 to 1830 (1 male & 1 female) 5 to 10 1 - 1 b. 1820 to 1825 (1 male & 1 female) 10 to 15 1 - 0 Male Rufus Crews b. 1820 (Jack's gggfather) 15 to 20 0 - 1 b. 1810 to 1815 (1 female) 20 to 30 1 - 1 b. 1800 to 1810 (1 male & 1 female) 30 to 40 - 0 0 to 50 - 1 Nancy Crews b. 1780 to 1790 ---------- Nancy CREWS b c1780 to 1790 last known to be in Grandview, Rhea Co TN. On the 1830 Census she was the head of the household and had 4 boys and 4 girls. Nancy CREWS b. NC, only shows up in TN on the 1830 and 1840 Census. In 1831, Nancy Crews and Martin E. PAUL (relation unknown) received a land grant from the gov't for a 500 acre farm at Grandview, TN. Nancy's son Rufus CREWS sold the farm in 1855 and moved to MO. On 23 Sep 1837 the Tenn Rhea Co Court records a mortgage deed where Nancy CREWS (made her mark) and Hardy CREWS borrowed money and gave the farm (500 acres) and everything that could be seen as collateral. The only Hardy Crews shown on the next TN Census is in another Co of Tennessee with his own farm and family. The 1850 Census showed only Rufus(30) and his family still in the same location (Grandview, Rhea Co, TN). No CREWS graves have been located in Rhea Co, TN. ---------- Rufus sale of the TN property - On 12 Oct 1855 a deed was recorded where Rufus sold to Richard COLLINS. The Collins deed refers to the land grant of Nancy CREWS & Martin E. PAUL and a copy of Nancy's land grant was listed in Rufus' probate assets at the time of Rufus' death in 1889. ---------- The Martin E. PAUL in the land grant later md. a Martha CRUESE in Rhea Co TN, date unk and id of Martha unk. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Chuck, Thanks for the Desc's of Gideon CREWS. It looks like you have the same as I have with one exception. I have one more child for Gideon - Mary b. 1793. Pat

Chuck, Thanks so much for all the data! Would it be alright if I posted the Meredith CREWS line to the list? Or you can do it if you'd prefer. I'm sure there are others who would be interested. Pat
