This takes us away from Tennessee and back to Patrick County,Virginia but I hope it gives you some leads. I know of a line that someone gave me info on (in Patrick Co., Va.) and it goes like this: John Q. Cruise b1851 m.Keziah Hundley b1853 Samuel W. Cruise b1872 Sally Lue Cruise b1873 Mary F. Cruise b1876 Martha M. Cruise b1878 John Cruise b1880 This sounds like it may be who you are looking for. Contact me and I can put you in touch with the person (by phone /postal). I don't know what else they may have on these people.

I'm looking for ancestors of a Sallie Lou Crews born Nov 23, 1773 in either Halifax or Patrick Cos. She was my grandmother. She married John Bishop Martin b 4/5/1871. They married 7/12/1892 in Lawsonville, N.C. I believe her father was Ernest Crews and mother Kissair (sp) Hundley. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone, Is there anyone out there researching the group of Crews families that emigrated to Carroll County, Tennessee (in 1831) from the Ellis Creek area of Halifax County, VA.? This group included, at least; Richard Crews (son of David Crews,Sr.) and two of his nephews, James C. Crews (son of David Crews,Jr.) and David Crews (son of John Crews) with their families. (Also included, were; Chandler, Edwards, Estes, and Toombs families.) They settled (by 1832) in the northeast corner of Carroll County (District 17). This group was later (1834-35) joined by Richard's brother, David Crews,Jr. who was the father of James C. Crews. In the 1840 Census, the brothers (Richard and David,Jr.) are still in Carroll County but James C. Crews and David (his cousin) are in Henry County (southeast corner). From 1840 to present, these families have grown and grown (of course) and I have studied all census and marriage info that I can find, over and over. (sound familiar?) The two older members, Richard and David,Jr., had some 30 children between them (or at least, living with them at various times). Most of the children had married, died, or left by the time the 1850 census was taken, when names could have been attached to families. I have made out family sheets on the many Crews families from the census and marriage info but still there is the problem of tying anyone married before 1850, to a father. James C. Crews was my GG Grandfather and he was a preacher but I have never heard of or found out anything about him leaving a family Bible. Any help or clues of any kind would be deeply appreciated.

Just recently returned from a trip to North Carolina and found this info on a David Crews. Maybe it will help someone: Book 24, Page 161, Halifax Co., North Carolina: This indenture made this 23 day of May, 1808, between David Crews of Stokes Co., and state of N.C. of the one part, and John Richardson of Halifax Co., and state aforesaid of the other part. Witnesseth that the said David Crews for and in consideration of the sum of $25.00 dollars to me in hand, paid the rect. whereof I do acknowledge have granted bargained and sold unto the said John Richardson, his heirs and 17 acres of land. It being a part of that tract of land belonging to Benjamin Bass, dec., it being his daughter Grace's part supposed to be 17 acres, be the same more or less. To have and to hold the said land to the said Richardson his heirs and assigns forever and I the said David Crews as her agent in law, do bind myself my heirs and assigns shall and will warrant and forever defend the right and title of said land against the claim or claims of any person or persons whatever to the said John Richardson his heirs and assigns. In witness whereof I have hereunto et my hand and affixed my seal the day and year above written. Seal: David Crews, Agent John Lee John Lee Jr. Halifax Co., Nov. Sessions 1817. Then this deed was exhibited in open court and duly proven by the oath of John Lee one of the subscribing witnesses thereto and on motion ordered to be registered. Witness: Richard Eppes, Clerk Robin Crew

Hi David, Somewhere in the archives, I found and copied down some info, but now I don't know who it was from (or if it ties to my line either). Anyhow, the info states that a David Crews (son of David Crews Sr. and Dorothy Hunt) married Catherine Sparrow and that they had 9 children. Apparently Catherine died and David remarried Martha Mosely on 28 Feb 1821 and that they had 7 children. It stated that David & Martha sold their land on Ellis Creek in Halifax Co, VA in 1834 and moved to Carroll Co, TN. No children's names were given. I was wondering if you have any of the children's names in your data base and also if you know when or where Martha and David died. I'm trying to find a Martha that fits in with the info I have on my family, but I do not know which Crews she was married to. Any info you could provide would be greatly apprecited!

Pat and David, In reference to Pat' Feb.'98 post, have we ever resolved the 2 Johns for David CREWS & Mary STANLEY & the 2 James's for Thos. & Susannah? Do we know who Aggy Portwood really married in 1810? Additionally, did Amy BRIGHT really marry Jesse CREWS in 1791 because I am showing some children born prior to that. Am I missing a 2nd marriage here?

I list here only the title and the signers.) "The Humble Petition of the People called Quakers to the House of Burgesses in Williamsburg"... "Signed, in Behalf of the Society called Quakers, in Virginia; John Cheadle, Abraham Ricks, Wike Hunicut, William Lad, Armiger Trotter, Peter Binford, William Denson, William Outland, John Murdaugh, Edmond Jourdan, Thomas Pleasants, Matthew Jourdan, Thomas Newby, Thomas Trotter, Robert Ellyson, John Crew, John Pleasants, Samuel Sebrel, Samuel Jourdan, John Denson." "Reuben Jordan, eldest son of Matthew Jordan of Albermarle Co, VA, and nephew of Colonel Samuel Jordan, was born in VA in the year 1754, and was twice married. Before 1773 he was married to Ann Howard, daughter of Allen and Elizabeth Howard, of Goochland Co, VA. This marriage of Reuben and Ann is verified in the will of Elizabeth Howard, mother, which was made May 4, 1773, and probated August 21, 1775. The second marriage of Reuben was with Janette Harvie, daughter of John and Martha Harvie, on August 12, 1782. When the marriage of Reuben and Janette Harvie was recorded, it was noted that Reuben Jordan was from Amhurst Co, VA and Janette Harvie was from Albermarle Co, VA. Soon after the Revolutionary War, Georgia established a lottery system to attract settlers to the state. Reuben Jordan had done some military service in GA, so when he learned of the lottery, he applied to the General Assembly of North Carolina for a Certificate of Recommendation. It was granted him, for in the NC Order Book, 1783-1785, page 373, there is recorded the following: "Mr. Reuben Jordan intending shortly to travel into southern states and applying to this court for a sense of his reputation. The Court assures those whose presence he may come that he is a man of fair character-- has always been esteemed an honest and good citizen; is of a reputable family and they trust his future conduct will answer invariably with his former, and even shew him as here represented and greatly to be depended upon." With the above certificate in hand, Reuben Jordan and his family set out for GA. IN the 1827(? prob 1807) GA Lottery Reuben drew a parcel of land in Wilkes Co, GA, built a manor house upon it and lived there until his death in 1816." The family names of Fleming and Ware came from the marriage of Samuel Jordan (4th gen) to Elizabeth Fleming on 8 Aug, 1703, daughter of Charles Fleming and Susanna Tarlton Fleming. Four members of the Pleasants family were present at their wedding. Samuel Jordan's two sons, Samuel and Matthew both married Ware's. Samuel married Judith Scott Ware, a widow of Peter Ware and Matthew Jordan married her daughter Judith Scott Ware.

Hi, Listers- Perhaps Delores and others will inform me about their CREWS line in Indiana as my Nancy CREWS was b. 1815 IN. Thanks for any input. ...Pam...

Hi, Delores-- I don't think I connect to any of your CREWS lines but I am curious about your STANLEYs (I have both also but they never intermarried). The name "Thomas" didn't show up in the STANLEY line until the 1900s but they've been in the U.S. since at least the 1790s. Where was your Thomas Jr. born in 1689? Thanks. Susan E.

My Crews are connected to the Quakers by the surname Stanley & Meredith. James Meredith b. abt. 1747, married Mary CREWS. She was b. abt. 1752. They may have been in VA but she died in 1820 and he died in 1823 in NC. This James was the grandson of Simon , who put up the money for son Hugh Meredith and Benjamin Franklin to start a print shop in PA. I need more information on this Mary Crews, said to be the daughter of David Crews and Phoebe Duchee/ Gooch. I have found some reports that she may have been the daughter of a Hardy Crews. As Quakers, I have found that many of them kept moving. From PA in 1600, in VA & NC in 1700, OH by early 1800 and my line in Indiana by the early 1800. Other Crews that are connected to my Stanley line . Thomas Stanley Jr. born 1689 & first m. Elizabeth Maddox had 2 children. Second m. Elizabeth CREWS and they had 10 children. One of their sons, Thomas Stanley lll, b. 1731 d. 1797; married 1755, a Sarah CREWS, b. 1728 d. 1805. I have no idea who the parents of this Sarah CREWS are.

Charlie, Glad to hear we were on target with your line. I believe you have the oldest and best documented Crews line in the state of Georgia and the only one I know of that can be traced back to Virginia. I forgot to mention before that I have a marriage certificate written by John Crews, son of Stanley. He acted as Justice of the Peace in Camden Co., GA and performed the marriage on 1 Oct. 1813. On the other side is the license written by Isaac Crews, Clerk of the Court in Camden. The document contains a sample of both men's penmanship and signatures. They were not related as far as I know. Below, I've compiled a little of what has been said about David and John Crews in our archives.

(1) Their marriage brought together a rather ample stepfamily. David Milton CREWS was 14 years old, and it's possible brothers John CREWS and Stanley CREWS and sister Mary CREWS were still younger. Mary brought with her an even larger family of all girls. While two daughters had already married (one to Gatley CREW, son of John), there was still Sarah MAGEE, Martha MAGEE, Lydia MAGEE, Rebecca MAGEE, Annie MAGEE, and possibly a young son named John MAGEE. Judging by their marriage dates, all the MAGEES, at least, were under the age of 14 at the time of the marriage. Six years later Annie would marry her stepbrother David Milton CREWS. It has already been determined that David CREW felt less loyalty and devotion to the Society than did his father and brothers. Mary probably felt quite a bit more, for the Friends had been helping her through her bad times since Samuel's death around 1750. Their children, it would seem, had even less inclination to become "good Quakers" than they did, however. At the 1 April 1758 Henrico County Monthly Meeting Lydia MAGEE, daughter of Samuel deceased, and Mary (LEAD MAGEE) CREW, was dismissed for marriage out of unity. Her mother was also dismissed for a time for charges that she aided the marriage, although the charges were eventually dropped. (2) That same day David CREW was placed under the care of the meeting for "neglecting his children," and was placed on probation. Whenever the council reprimanded children, the parents were reprimanded as well. The transgression of children was considered to be the parent's fault as much as the child's. A parent was considered negligent if they allowed their child to make poor decisions, such as marriage out of unity, or joining in militia duty, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean that the parent was denying the child food, clothing, shelter, or any of the necessities of life. On 6 May 1758, a month after his probation, David CREWS of Hanover County and a member of Black Creek Meeting was dismissed for neglecting his children. (3) (Black Creek was way over in New Kent County. I don't understand how he could have been from the Black Creek meeting but been in Hanover County.) I am curious as to why he was dismissed, however, and Mary was not? Of course, by this time, David's own daughter, Elizabeth had been dismissed for a similar marriage in 1753, and his son David Milton CREWS had probably already served in the militia at least once since his 1760 grievance was his second offense. Perhaps David's dismissal was for a number of reasons. He apparently chose to never make restitution after this last dismissal and consequently disappears from Quaker records. He died in 1766 in Virginia and his death was reported in the "Virginia Gazette." (4) 11 Jul 1766, DAVID CREWS-"Also to be sold, the fee-simple estate of a tract of land in New Kent Co, on Great Skimino Creek, containing about 200 acres, lately the property of David Crews, deceased...... the latter will be sold to the highest bidder at the New Kent court, in August next, on two months credit. Harry Thompkins (Virginia Gazette) pg. 37 We know nothing more of Mary LEAD MAGEE CREW, as she too disappears from Quaker records altogether. The story continues with the marriage of their stepchildren. (1) Hinshaw, William Wade. Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, Volume 6, Virginia.
