    3. Pat, Thanks for the correction and the additional information. I enjoyed reading your summary of early VA. While looking at my wife's Crews line from SC, I had always disregarded any that I saw from VA as being a separate family. This might still be true. The only information I have that makes me think this, is a will of John Cruise that was administered by his wife Elizabeth in Charles Town, SC in 1704(Don't have a copy yet or know if it is available). At this early time, it's more likely that they arrived in Charleston, SC by ship from England than over land or by ship from VA. But, the migration of the VA Crews families into SC and GA has amazed me and certainly confused things a little. While doing my research, I also saw the "Battle of Malvern Hill" called "The Battle of Poindexter's Farm". Info on Mr. Ronald Mosocco's book you referenced is below. On the Civil war map of 1863 the Poindexter farm is on the east side of Hwy 156 where the cemetery is today and the Crew farm is on the west side of Hwy 156, both being at the northern foot of Malvern Hill and in Henrico Co,Va.
