There were several post a few weeks back stating that Bedford County marriages were recorded in Hinshaw's ENCYLYPEDIA OF AMERICAN QUAKERS. There are a number of Bedford County marriages including non Quaker marriages listed and for some years it includes all marriages. However, not all Bedford County marriages are listed. Earl H. May

Norm, My great X 4 grandmother was Mary W. Crump (1775-?) She died in Franklin Co., VA and had been maried to Alexander Gray. Her father was Richard Crump (1711-1789) who was born in New Kent Co., VA and died in Bedford. Richard's father, Richard Crump (1685-1782) was from New Kent, and well as his father, Stephen Crump (1655-1700). Stephen's father, William Crump, was born in James City, VA in 1629 and died in New Kent Co. William's father Thomas Crump was born in England in 1603, immigrated to America and was a Burgess from James Citie and later from Neck of Land. I assume that the Crump that you found in Bedford was Richard. I'm not sure where all of his siblings went (I have not worked very hard on this line), but as you can see, there was a strong contingency of Crumps in New Kent. Hope this sheds some light! Leigh Blount

Can anyone provide me information about the Crump families of Elbert and Franklin Counties during the1800s? I have them sprinkled through my notes in three or four surnames; not as direct line ancestors but marrying brothers and sisters; witnessing deedsand wills, purchasing at estate sales, etc.. I came across one Crump in Bedford County VA; did the Crumps come from there? Norm Ricker normhr@ij.net
