Crumly also know as Doc or Dock and he does not have the dreaded 'e' in his name. I have to laugh about this because to this day if my father gets a bill that had that 'e' in his name he will march right up to whoever and tell then that is NOT his bill. They usually say of course, it is and proceed to argue. Have you ever tried to argue with a Crumly? Oh that is right, you are one of those as I am. Well, it normally works out that he says when you send the bill to me with the right name on it I will pay the bill and the company is forced to change the spelling of the name to Crumly from Crumley. This brings up thoughts as to just when the spelling of the name changed. I have found on Death Certificate (and who know who wrote them) that some are misspelled (I can't let that happen to my Daddy). Also on many of the Census records the takers just wrote what they thought would be the correct spelling and I don't believe they asked how to spell things or today we can't read the spellings as we saw with the various spellings of that 1850 list that went around. Do you have proof/proofs of spelling on the names and when they were one way or another? Thanks, Donna --------------0DF768B2CA2544FFE854E51E Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=UTF-8; name="Donna.Hamby.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Donna Hamby Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Donna.Hamby.vcf" begin:vcard n:;Donna x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:[email protected] fn:Donna Hamby end:vcard --------------0DF768B2CA2544FFE854E51E--
