Hi David, There was also a Reuben Crews that surveyed Cherokee and Forsyth land parcels (GA) in 1827 for the land lottery. Do you have any idea of his connection? Also, will you share the descendants you have for Martin Crews/Cruise and Jenny Jordan? Thanks for all the research you share on this list, I enjoy reading your posts and save most to my zip drive to refer to later.
