    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: cccrumpga Surnames: Crump Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.crump/684.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello Dave and Ed, I recently came across your posts and thought I'd add some info. Stephen Crump (b1788) is my great, great grandfather. I was just in Stanly County last week and spent some time at the Stanly County Public Library. I was just sent this email regarding the gravesite of Stephen Crump: "Here is the information about the Stephen Crump cemetery. One of the ladies that visit the cemetery said Steve Crump owns the property. Hope this information will help you. Directions: Hwy 52S to Norwood, turn right on Whitley Rd., bear right onto Mt. Zion Church Rd. Cemetery across road from 40083 at left edge of driveway not far from Hardy Creek. Owner: Steve Crump GPS N 35. 10. 730 W 80. 10. 039 7 unmarked stones, 10 other possible graves(some in edge of field around cemetery) Stephen Crump being buried here has been passed through family history." Also, James Bushrod Crump and John Bushrod Crump, as mentioned in an earlier post, are buried on what was once the James Cotton plantation overlooking the Yadkin River. The site is now within the Uwharrie State Forest. I have a copy of a 1956 article about the site taken from the Stanly News and Press. I found some other interesting articles regarding James and John's Revolutionary War service. Apparently, James served as a page to Gen. George Washington. Their cousin, Hannah Bushrod (b.1738-1801)married John Augustine Washington, the brother of the President. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
