-- [ From: Patricia Ray * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- So far so good! I feel a little like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop! Ok, I'll get down to business and see what I can do. Robert J. I got your note and your forward of Grays' note. Do you think you can do it again and forward her note here? You sent it only to me and I want the others to have it, too. Gray I've been checking it over and we seem to be mostly in agreement. You have some we don't have in the database, and we have some you don't have . I haven't finished going over it yet, but I'll send you the differences soon. To both of you....... Joseph CREW(S) is the s/o John CREWS and Sarah GATLEY d/o Nicholas & Sarah GATLEY. John & Sarah had 11 children: 1. John Jr. (there are so many b/d's for these children that I'm leaving it off unless it's a firm date) d. 11 Apr 1762; m. 14 Mar 1717 Agatha ELLYSON (cousins?) 2. Sarah m. 8 Jun 1714 Robert ELLYSON of New Kent Co s/o Gerard Robert ELLYSON and Sarah CREW(?) 3. Andrew m. 12 Feb 1720 Hannah ELLYSON in Henrico Co, Va d/o Gerrard Robert ELLYSON & Sarah CREW or Anne MYHILL 4. Gatley m. 1753 Elizabeth McGAHEA d/o Samuel McGAHEA & Mary LADD, sister of Annie McGAHEA/MAGEE (Gatleys' brother, David, m.(2) Mary LADD, widow McGAHEA, the mother of Eliz. & Annie, and Davids' son, David Milton, m. Annie MAGEE, Davids' step-sister) 5. Anne m. William LANE s/o Thomas LANE 6. Mary Margaret m. John LADD s/o Wm. LADD & Huldah BINFORD 7. Joseph m. 12 Jun 1725 Massey JOHNSON etc. 8. Elizabeth m. 1726 Thomas STANLEY, Jr. 9. Jane m. 1727 John SANDERS Jr. of Hanover Co, Va 10. William W. m. 8 Jul 1729 Hannah SANDERS d/o John SANDERS, Jr. of Hanover Co, Va 11. David m. (1) 9 Nov 1733/4 Mary STANLEY d/o John STANLEY; m. (2) 4 Aug 1754 Mary LADD MCGEE/McGAHEA/MAGEE widow of Samuel McGEE/McGAHEA d/o Wm. LADD & Huldah BINFORD. As for the father of John CREW(S) who m. Sarah Gatley, we think his father is also a John CREW but we don't know his mother. Some say he is John CREW of Northampton Co, Va, b. c1630, d. 1660, m. Elizabeth. I have a problem with that John but I won't go into that now. This is about the largest family group we have. Gray, you mentioned a Thomas CREW as a match between you and Bob. Do you mean the Thomas CREWS who m. Mary WHICKER? ------------------------------------------------------- Boy, you guys have no mercy! Like we don't have enough "Johns" to worry about! Lori is looking for John Wilson CREWS b. 1830 MS d. 1897 Claiborne Co, MS. He was orphaned as a child and was living with a BROWNING Family in the 1850 census. He married Sarah Elizabeth LEWIS 1851 Copiah Co, MS. Lori, I can't find John Wilson CREWS in the database. He's going to be a tough one as he was orphaned so young. Was he an only child? I hope others will search their DB's to see if I've missed something? I found 6 Sarah LEWISs in the db but no link to John. ------------------------------------------------------- Who have I missed? Others have asked me to check for them, and I think I have answered all, but I could be wrong! It certainly won't be the first time! If I am, please post again and let's see what we can all do ! Pat
