Jim, I have picked up most of my Crews family information from the Rootsweb Crews List on the internet. However I do know that there is a book titled "Metes and Bounds" written by Donna Porter lists the couple as having married. I have recently received from another person the same information only this person included Charles Ballew III, middle name was Thomas. What I can do is copy the list with my reply to you and maybe someone on the list can add to the above.

Pat: James Meredith, Sr., & Mildred Bagby were my fifth great grandparents. James was born around 1715, but I have no documentation for that. I have a researcher working on it now. Nor do I have documentation for the date, place and parentage of Mildred Bagby. They died and were buried in Surry Co., NC, he in 1790 and she in 1796. I have copies of their wills. Children: 1. William b. 1744 Louisa Co., VA, d 1825 Adair Co., KY mar (1) Ann BONDS (2) Rebecca KEYS NOBLETT 2. James, Jr., b 1747 Louisa or Hanover Co., VA d 1820 Stokes Co., NC mar 1769 Bedford Co., VA to Mary CREWS b 1752, d 1823 Stokes County. Both William and James had Revolutionary Army service. William was a Capt. and received several pieces of land in NC for his service. He was later a sheriff, a Justice of the Peace, and a school teacher in Surry Co., NC. James was a Light Horseman according to NC Revolutionary Army Accounts. I have copies some of those accounts which show his service and what he was paid. He also received land grants of 1200 acres in NC for service. I have copies of those land grants. Both William and James are listed in the DAR Patriot Index. Mary CREWS was the daughter of Hardy CREWS and Phoebe GOOCHEE/DUCHEE. Her sister Ann married a man by the name of HUBBARD. Click on to the HUBBARD GenForum page for this story. I have seen info on the Internet which states that Mary married Hugh Meredith. This was not true. Quaker records in NC give much information about the James Meredith/Mary Crews family. 3. John b 1750-53, place unknown, mar 1771 Guilford Co., NC to Frances GIBSON. This may be the John that tried to prove relationship to the Cherokees, although I am not sure, and have no documentation. 4. Samuel b 15 May 1760 Goochland Co., VA d 1806 Pendleton District, SC; had two wives, names unknown, and possibly 11 children. 5. Mary, date and place of birth unknown, mar 1782-190 to Thomas Cheadle BURCH, Surry Co., NC. 6. Daniel, b 1762 Goochland Co., VA, d Hillsborogh, IL; married Hannah COOK 1787 Surry Co. NC I descend from James and Mary's eldest son David, who was b 19 Dec 1769 Bedford Co., VA d 1864 Wayne Co., IN; mar 1791 to Mary FARRINGTON, b 17 Dec 1774, d 1849 Guilford Co., NC. I have a copy of David's will. James and Mary had 9 other children. These names and dates have come down through Bibles and records of the family through the years. Many of the dates are corroborated by NC marriage records and Quaker records. Hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion about Mary CREWS. Although Simon Meredith in PA had a son James, he was not the James that married this Mary. His wife was Mary Nicholas. They married and lived in PA all their lives. He died there 1775, and she in 1802. Simon was a son of Hugh, and he also had a son named Hugh. It was the son of Simon that was in the printing business with Benjamin Franklin, and Simon put up some of the money for them to go into business together. This information is in Ben Franklin's writings. My ancestor James may have been a brother of the Simon and son of Hugh that came to America from Wales about 1708. Perhaps the researcher I have hired will unravel this part of the puzzle. Best regards, Joyce
Dave, Thanks for your comments. I have been looking at the documentation I have from Elgin Barnes. They are hand written pages. The BD he has looks like 1796 but the 6 could be a 0. I visited the Crews cemetary in November with Johnny Crews, dec from Samuel Lemrod and the grave marker does show 1790 so you could very well be correct. I would be glad to fax you a copy of these records however they are not real crisp and I don't know how well they will fax.

Brenda was kind enough to send me info some time ago and I have finally gotten around to trying to piece it together. I can not find her email address and hope you do not mind me posting this to the list. Here is what I came up with. 1. Jeremiah CROOSE was listed in the 1820 Jefferson Co. Louisville Dist. GA Census 3 Males b. 1810-1820 Suspect them as: JOHN L , JEREMIAH JR., WILLIAM L. 1 Male b. 1805-1809 Suspect him to be: SAMUEL S. 1 Male b. 1776-1795 which is JEREMIAH, SR. 1 Female b. 1776-1795 which is his wife 1 Female b. 1810-1820 Suspect her to be: MARYANNE 2. Forsyth County Marriages 1834-1850 GA Cruse John L. Sams Syntha 12 Jan 1834 Cruse Mary Ann Lindsey Anderson 21 Apr 1839 Cruse William Hawkins Emaline 15 Jan 1839 NOTE: Brenda noted Anderson LINDSEY and Maryann went to ALA but I don't know which county? 3. Hall County (next to Forsyth Co) Marriages 1819-1850 Crews Samuel S. Stringer Mary 01 July 1830 4. In "The Families of Hall Co. 1817-1849" by Robt. S. Davis, there is the following muster roll. ***NOTE: this info was supplied by David Harris "Muster Roll of Captain Reubin Sams Company of the 2nd Regiment 1st Brigade of GA mounted volunteers, commanded by Coln P. R. Foster, of Hall County received into the service of the United States by Major Genl Thos. S. Jessup under the act of Congress approved may 23rd 1836, from the fifth day of October 1837 to the eleventh day of May 1838. Cruse, William Prvt Oct. 5, 1837 Hall Co., GA Cruse, Jeremiah Prvt Oct. 5, 1837 Hall Co., GA (The list contained others) 5. ***Brenda writes: Private John L. Cruse - Seminole War Veteran, Captain Hubbard Barker's Company of Georgia Mounted Volunteers, mustered into service at Georgia Kellogg's store in Forsyth County on November 20, 1836. John Cruse was sent home from Florida War April 26, 1837 to "nurse the sick" [Jeremiah] by orders of Major General Jessup. He returned May 9, 1837. The company was discharged September 23, 1837 in Hall County Georgia. His brothers, Samuel and William, also fought in the Seminole War. According to his pension application: He stated at the time of enlistment in the Seminole War, he was 22 years of age, five feet and six inches tall, with gray eyes, light colored hair, and a dark complexion. He states he was born at Lewisville, Jefferson County, Georgia. He also states that his fathers name is Jeremiah Cruse(dec'd), his mother; Delilah Huggins(dec'd). He also stated that he had not remarried since the death of his first wife, Cynthia. The last statement proved to be a "crock", as he was already married for a second time to Malinda Green. Another conflict is that Jeremiah supposedly married Delilah Huggins in 1827..........long after Samuel and John were born. I have yet to go Jefferson County and retrieve the actual marriage document, I'm hoping it was misread and is actually 1807. I will put that on my list of "to-do's". ********************************* >Benda, I agree about the marriage date of 1827 for Delilah HUGGINS not being viable. The >census reported Jeremiah born between 1776-1795 and a son shown born between >1805-1809 making a likely marriage date around 1793-1808. However, is it possible Delilah >was a second marriage? The marriage of a Jeremiah CREWS to Elizabeth HARLAN (shown >below in item 6) is not viable either. For if the census info is correct, and the marriage records >are correct, Jeremiah would have been 12 yrs old in 1788 when the marriage took place. John >stating he was 22 yrs age upon enlistment puts him born about 1814 and coincides with the >date you gave me for his birth of Oct 24, 1813. dkc > 6. Crews marriages in Madison Co, KY. 1786-1822 Crews Jeremiah Harlen, Eliz. 11 Feb 1788 Gaddy, Elijah If the Jeremiah of the 1820 Jefferson Co GA Census were to be born in 1788 and marry at age 16 or 17 in the year 1805 having a son born that same year, then the Jeremiah who married Elizabeth HARLEN could possibly be the parents of Jeremiah of the 1820 GA Census. 7. Benda writes: You have Samuel listed as VA>GA>AL, Jeremiah was born in VA, but so far as I know, his children were born in Madison KY and Lewisville GA. Is it possible there is another Samuel and I have these two confused? >Brenda, there are several Samuels and census takers can make mistakes or even the provider >of the information can be unsure, however, on the 1850 Talladega County ALA Census for >Samuel S.

So far this is the info I have on my ggg grandfather Samuel S.: Listed in 1830 Hall Co., GA census. Married in Hall Co. also. There were 2 other Cruse's there with same spelling that I know of. One-Jeremiah and Two-William. A William CRUISE shows up in 1840 Talladega Co., ALA census stating born 1813 in SC. Samuel shows up in 1850 Talladega Co., ALA census stating he was born 1810 in VA. All together the Cruises in Talladega (and one I know of in Coosa) are: Charles in 1840 Talladega and is possibly same person as Charles G. below Charles G. in 1850 Talladega b. 1802 SC.

Pete, Darrell, Pat etal. Unfortunately, I just can't totally buy into this. 17 yrs. difference between the children is not unheard of when you see all the kids in between. Mary is mentioned in her father's will (William) & if you consider the children of Mary you see the names of her siblings from Wm. & Hannah repeated in the naming of her own children but not so if you feel her father was Hardy. I sort of agree with the Bell Book in that there were two different Mary's and that Mary, dau. of Hardy was a Mary of a different time & place. Somehow researchers have both Mary women as having md. the same man but having had different children. What a mess! The line gets fractured right here without a common consent.

Pat and List, Pat has made a great catch and I agree the dates in data base are obviously in error. Also agree with Pat in descendants of Hardy and Phoebe "Douchee". David Harris <david77@freewwweb.com> sent a nice sketch to the list on Sept. 7, 1999 in confirmation of Pat as well. I will make corrections to my file and re submit at later date. One question?

All, After reading the info in Jerry's latest e-mail. I have a few comments and/or questions on the decendants of John Crews. First off I suspect that I too, am a decedant (via Samuel and Joseph).

Any Idea if either of these are the parents of Roger Crews born c. 1790? He married Elizabeth Mitchell in Colleton Co SC on 09/1808. He is my GGG Grandfather. I reached a 'wall' once I got to SC.
Toni, Following is all the info I have as I haven't concentrated on the Crews line much in the last several years, is the following: I have the following children the the DAVID CREW / MARY STANLEY family - 1. David Milton Crews (1740-1821) who married 1st Annie Magee (his step-sister) and 2nd Mildred Williford (dau of Samuel Williford & Bedford Carlew) 2. Elizabeth Crews, who according to Hinshaw's Quaker Records was a dau of David CREW and was dismissed for marriage out of unity by a priest on 7 July 1753 3. poss John Crews who had at least one son named Elijah Crews. There is some confusion on my part as to whether this John was bro to David or son - perhaps someone else knows something by no0w. 4. Mary Crews was according to oral tradition a member of this family and she married Charles Ballew 5. Stanley Crews, who I have seen several postings on recently. I believe a cousin of mine has also tentatively identiifed another dau in this family but will have to contact her and get that name. I have more on people and anyone wanting sources feel free to ask. However, as I stated I haven't done much on this line lately so there are probalby others who know more. Donna
Donna, May I ask about those other names to see if they match any of my Crews names ?

I didn't get the whole message sent--especially the part about the witnesses, who were the same Crews in the other Wilkes Co., GA deeds mentioned "Handley Crews." So, I'll try again-- [P. 180] p. 458--29 June 1786, Stanley Crews to William Gilbert, both planters of Wilkes Co., for 56 pounds, 227 acres, north fork of Clarks Creek part of 2140 acres granted James Denley, 5 Jan 1785, adj. William Muckleroy, John Dale, Sylvania Gibson (signed) Stanley Crews, Agethy (*) Crews. Wit: John Crews, Martin Crews, John King, A.J. Regd. 16 Apr 1792. Donna Sarchet

I'm sorry, I'm not much help further back than David Milton Crews, and I know a bit about his brothers and sisters and parents, but nothing more than than. Maybe Darrell knows something. Donna
The following family appears in deeds in the published records of Wilkes Co., GA: Father: Handly Crews (dead by 6 Nov 1800) [Note: His children received 1/10 each of his real estate, so I'm thinking he had 10 children total, although not all are accounted for below.] Children: Nancy Crews (d. by 6 Nov 1801) Susannah Crews Martin Crews James Crews Agnes Crews John Crews--of Camden Co., GA in 1804 [Note: Sons-in-law appear to possibly be C.S. Marton and Simon Hughes] Here are the deeds--- "Wilkes County, GA, Deed Books A-VV, 1784-1806" by Michal Martin Farmer. [p. 782]Deed Book VV, p. 60 Undersigned representatives of Nancy Crews, decd., by the dying request of our beloved sister Nancy & for love & affection we bear our sister, Susannah Crews, all our interest to a negro girl named Mary aged 12 or 13 years, 6 Nov. 1801.

Marton, Simon Hughs, George Johnson, J.P. Rec. 13 Dec 1804. *********************** Does anyone know where these Crews lived prior to Wilkes Co., GA? I ask because some of their neighbors are from SC while other are from Hanover Co., VA. Also, does anyone know anything about James Crews listed above? I don't think he's the same as my James W. Crews of Effingham and Chatham Counties, GA (who I strongly suspect comes from the Colleton Co., SC group of Crews), but I am curious about him. Also, the deed index to the book I cited above contains references to these additional Crews given names: Agathy, Littleberry, Stanley, Sucky, Susan, Susannah. Donna Sarchet Plainview, TX sarchet@
