Hello list, Ken requested the title of the book I referred to in my e-mail. The segment done for my grandfather, Alonzo Crumley son of Andrew Polk, was " Crumley, Bradford and Related Families. This was reprinted from " Colonial and Revolutionary Lineage's of America." The publishing company was The American Historical Company, Inc. New York. Published 1957 The company no longer exists. I tried some years ago to track it down to see if I could obtain source information only to find them out of business. I believe that the " Colonial and Revolutionary Lineage's of America" is a 16 volume set. I'm not sure about this, but I believe that this company did the individual family genealogies and than incorporated them into this 16 volume set. I also believe that they used "family records" to make ties to the Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages. The reason for this belief is that many such references cannot be documented and has no basis. However, much of their documentation is very accurate and has been a great help to me is leading me to where to look for family history. So, if any of you have used this source, it can be of great help, just verify their facts along the way. If anyone questions anything from this source, please contact me as I may have already verified it, or proved it wrong.

Thanks, I have my origional copy of the Crumley, Bradford section given to me by my Grandfather. I was able to get additional information on this set from a New York library that had the set. I believe the LDS has this set on microfilm. The publisher and researcher is out of business, however. LDS may also have it on the shelf, but usually once it is filmed it's removed from the shelf, I think. This genealogy states that James I was born in Yorkshire, England. It does not give a surname for Catherine. It does have his will in full. Just a tad more of information on this publication.
