Surnames: Crunden Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WMB.2ACE/4764.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Michele I saw this as well and was a bit unsure about it. The marriage of Benjamin to Mary in St Louis was in 1842. It seems rather strange that there would be two Benjamin Robert CRUNDENs both coming from England to St Louis, and both having a Mary as a wife. (The name CRUNDEN is quite unusual). Unless they married in St Louis, returned to England for a short time, and then went back to St Louis. A real puzzle!! Thanks for your interest. Dave
