Laurence, I am wondering if you have any info on this JOHN CRUMLEY who was born 4-6-1813 to Thomas and Elizabeth Gardner Crumley in Harrison Co., Ohio. I am seeking the time of his death, who he married, where both are buried. Did this John and spouse have any children? If there were children, I need info concerning their birth, marriages, occupations, deaths, and burials. Let me hear from you soon. Truett Sr. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laurence E.
