Billy, as far as I have researched and gathered info, this Benjamin (the youngest s/o of John Cromley (Crumley) had only one spouse (Hannah Plunkett). This Benjamin was born in Newberry Co., SC on 8-20-1779 to John and Hannah Falconer (Faulkner) as the only son born in SC. Hannah Plunkett was born in Newberry Co on 2-15-178o to Robert and Margaret Murdock. This Benjamin and Hannah Plunkett md about 1799 and migrated to Habersham Co., Ga in the mid 1820s. Benjamin and Hannah moved to the now Choestoe District, Union Co., Ga ( Truett`s birthplace). Probably the reason they moved to Union Co was to be near some of their children (Charles Newell Crumley Sr.). Hannah died 5-31-1862. This Benjamin died 12-29-1869. It is belived they are buried in the Old Salem Methodist Church Cemetery which is about two miles from the church off US129 on a mtn ridge. The church went out of existence about the time the regular Methodist merged with the United Methodist. Benjamin and Hannah were Methodist. Union Co is a very beautiful area of North Georgia nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Cherokee Indians really loved this area as they hugged the trees when forced to the Reservation. Many of the districts of this area carry Indian names - Hiawasse, Arkquah, Choestoe, Owltown etc. So Billy, I find that this Benjamin was md to only Hannah Plunkett.

If you didn't know where it was you'd never find it. I had stopped and asked about it at a house at the base of the hill where a retired man had built a small place to live. I drove my four-wheel drive up the road with him navigating. We walked around among the few tombstones that are still there. Some had been replaced within the past few years, but most were not legible due to natural erosion of the stones over the years. Benjamin or Hannah's tombs were never found. Jerry
