Here are some excerpts: "Some of the pioneers walked to and from Georgia to visit relatives after the War. The old "Gregory" road across Sand Mountain and by the present town of Collinsville was their route. Robert Crumly, and aged pioneer, made several trips by foot. He was physically able to make the trip by stopping in Collinsville with relatives." Here is an excerpt from a letter he wrote back to C.W. (Wesley) Crumley and his family back in Alabama while he (Robert) was in Union County on a visit: Union County, Georgia April 28th, 1870 <snip> I don't want to stay here another winter. It is too cold for me here but I suppose I shall have to stay until Fall. The girls want to leave here and they can't fix to leave till Fall. I don't want to leave them here by themselves anymore, for they can't do without someone with them. They can't stay here and make a living and I want them to get out of this before I leave them. I expect when I come they will come with me, for I don't want to stay here with them, and it is out of the question for them to do without a man person. <snip> Ken and I were discussing this off the list, and this is obviously Robert's sisters, Atha and Sallie, he is referring to. As Ken says, They would have been on up in age and I am sure they could not put in a garden, and there were no cash crops unless they had some cows. In 1870 Sallie would have been about 60 and no telling what kind of health problems. Bennie Catherine's book was written in 1950. I'm assuming someone has the original letter Robert wrote, since she put a transcription into her book. I also assume the letter belongs to someone in C.W. Crumley's family, and I would like to get a xeroxed copy of it. Have you ever seen this letter, Donna? Jerry

Jerry, Gary Crumly's ancestor was Charles Wesley Crumly b.1834. He was Robert Crumly's son and married Nancy Bevins. They were in Jefferson Co. AL. Is this the C.W. (Wesley) you need? I think I have Gary's e-mail address. Margie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Crumly" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 19, 2002 2:40 PM Subject: [CRUMLEY] C.W.

Jerry, if you think that Robert was referring to his unmarried sisters in Union Co.. It was listed that Sallie lived and died with her sister (Unice Crumley Allison) in White Co, Ga and Atha lived and died with her sister (Jane Crumley (Crumly) or Hannah Crumley (Allen in Alabama.

I live near the Crossville cemetery and you are correct -- Atha is buried at Crossville -- her marker is only a stone with some lettering carved in it.
