Dan, I re-read your post and indeed I didn't take it as you meant it. Sorry. It has been a long while since I have worked these files but have gone back and taken a look. So easy to get confused when there are so many people with the same names many living within the same time frame. Anyway, let me try and lay out what I have regarding Sara and John. John, son of Joseph CREW and Massey JOHNS(T)ON, b. 1727/28 md. 1st Sara CREWS dau. of Andrew CREWS. (John MAY have md. 2nd Ann M. Royster; unproven.) As of Oct. 1995 I have been unable to determine who the mother of this Sara CREWS was, nor consequently the parents of her father, Andrew. The marriage of John and Sara is shown as Feb. 1755. Now I have another Sara CREW b. 16 Dec. 1728, d/o Andrew I. CREW and Hannah ELLYSON. Before 1 March 1755 she md. Thomas STANLEY, b. 9 Feb. 1731, s/o Thomas STANLEY b. 1689 & Elizabeth CREW b. 1704. (Elizabeth was the dau. of John CREW & Sarah GATLEY.) Would these Sara's be one and the same person who md. abt. Feb./March 1755; John, s/o Joseph & Massey and again, Thomas STANLEY? Which one came first? What about the Royster marriage? I can't get a handle on this, much less any proof. Do you have further clues? Remember, we are not to confuse these Sara's with the Sarah who md. John, s/o Thomas WHICKER & Massey CREWS. Kay, if you are really new at all this, you've no idea what a tangled web it all becomes.....but FUN!! Hazel
Hello Hazel, I've been working seriously on my family history for about 2 years and my husband's (of whom the Crews and Whickers are ancestors of) for about a year. I am hooked! It is tremendously fun! So, I am probably pretty "green" compared to many on these lists! Thanks again for everyone's input and assistance!
