Crews researchers, I have a few questions that I�m hoping someone can help answer: First: Is anyone familiar with a 'Gideon Crews' (d. abt 1798) who lived in Amherst County, VA on land where Sweet Briar College was built? (Sweet Briar House - where the President of the college lives - is said to be the �old Crews home�). This Gideon appears to have had a son named 'Joseph', and a grandson named 'Joseph Jr.'. I am trying to establish if he ties into the line of John Crew (b. in Devsonshire, ENG). Several of John Crews descendants have links to the Bedford/Amherst County area, and John�s grandson, Joseph, had a son named Gideon (b. 1730, d. 1815 I Granville Co. NC) who could have been a nephew and/or namesake of this Gideon. Second: Does anyone know of a link between the John Crew mentioned above and Capt. James Crewes, who lived on Turkey Island in Henrico County, VA, and who was executed for his role in �Bacon�s Rebellion�. Capt. James Crewes is said to have died childless, but had relatives in the area, including two brothers named Francis Crews and Edward Crews, a nephew named Matthew Crews, and a niece named Sarah Whittingham. It is interesting to note that John Crew had a friend named Thomas Pleasant whose son John maintained a fishing seine at Turkey Island. Finally: In nearby Charles City County, there was an overseer on Col. Charles Carter�s plantation named James Crews who was murdered in 1792. Does anyone know if a link exists between this individual and either John Crew or Capt. James Crews? It is interesting to note that the �Carter� family is mentioned frequently in the will of Capt. James Crewes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Dan Fawcett [email protected]
