CROW and STROUP

South Carolina to Alabama - 1818

Related Families and Their Descendants

By Louise Milam Julich

Copyright 1984

This book was compiled with only one purpose in mind, i.e., to record information about the Alabama branches of my Mother's family.

Some of these families came to Morgan County in 1818, others in the early 1830's. We have not pursued them back to the immigrants at this time although it is known that the Crow and James families came from Virginia to South Carolina. The Stroups came from Pennsylvania to North and South Carolina.

This has been truly a labor of love. I have spent many happy hours visiting these cousins and finding "lost" ones. To most of them, Morgan County, Alabama was (and is) the only place to live. Their philosophy is "If contentment is the theme, life's melody is sweet."

“Southern Kinfolks”
(A Column of History and Genealogy)
By Louise Milam Julich

It is most pleasing to hear from our readers and to know what you think of "Southern Kinfolks." This week, encouraging words were received from Richard T. Davidson, Camden, Ark., in which he states, "May I just say that I think your Genealogical, Column is GREAT. I am of the opinion that the Alabama area has been needing something of this kind for some time...l know of a good many columns that have been started; and I do not know of any that are not still going strong. Of course, there are two kinds of people. People that like genealogy; and those that couldn’t care less. I would just like to say that you seem to have made a good start with yours, and I hope for you, the utmost success in your undertaking." Thank you, Mr. Davidson, for your kind words.

A couple of weeks ago I discussed the first of the Stroup family in Morgan County, Joseph Stroup and his wife, Mary (Polly) James Stroup, who came to Alabama in 1832 from North Carolina.

This week, I wish to discuss one of their sons, JOHN JAMES STROUP, my grandfather, who lived and died in the Neel Community.

JOHN JAMES STROUP, known locally as "Uncle Johnny," was born (a twin) June 8, 1837, on Danville Route 3. He and his brother Jackson served in the Confederate Army, the 5th Alabama Cavalry, enlisting in Holly Pond, Alabama.

"Uncle Johnny" was well known for his ability to play music on a leaf held between his teeth, and his beautiful horses. His favorite tunes were "Oh, Happy Day" and "My Darling Nelly Gray," which he learned from Yankee soldiers camped on the north bank of the Tennessee River at Decatur. As the Yankee soldiers camped on the north, soldiers sang around their camp fires at night on the north bank, he listened and especially enjoyed these two songs.

His most vivid memory of his service in Roddy's Brigade was that of intense hunger. He was at Selma when the order was given to "stack arms." He recalled that at that time the Yankees stampeded the confederate horses and told them they could have whatever they could catch. He felt that he was fortunate to catch an old white mare on which he came home and started his farm crop.

He first married Agnes Stover and they were the parents of Agnes Stroup b. Oct. 3, 1868. Following the death of his wife, he married Louisa Cathryn CROW (b. Aug. 8, 1847; d. March 22, 1929) on June 10, 1869. To them were born 8 children:

1. TENNIE, b. April 24, 1872; d. July 7, 1935. She married REEDER MANNING STROUP on March 17, 1895. They had one child; Addie D: Stroup who married John Hamlin of Decatur. They later moved to Texas.
2. DONER STROUP, b. Jan. 24, 1874; d. July 10 1907. Never married. Buried in the Stroup Cemetery at Pumkin Center.
3. JOHN ADDIE STROUP, m. Minnie Dalton. They were the parents of five children; moved to Tex.
4. FOREE STROUP b 1879, d. 1932; married Edward Wesley Rogers. “Uncle Ed” Rogers played on Hartselle’s 1st baseball team. “Aunt Foree” made the uniform for the team. They were the parents of two children, Lorene Rogers, b. Feb. 8, 1906, and Hollis Rogers, b. June 15, 1897, d. June 22, 1939. Lorene married a “Jones” and is the mother of Don Jones of Hartselle. She is now the wife of W. D. Matthews in Birmingham. She also has a daughter Betty.
5. SUE STROUP married Robert Gibbs McClure. They were the parents of five children, Lyda Bernice McClure, of Birmingham; the late Reeder Gibbs McClure; the late Sue Evelyn McClure, who married Buel Weeks of Cullman; Dorothy Gwendolyn McClure, who married John Thomas of Flor-

   ence; Mary Elizabeth, who married Dr. William Lee of Fort Deposit, Ala.

6. MARY STROUP married Charles G. Hardwick of Danville. They were the parents of five children: Fannie, who married Alvin Kay of Lacey's Spring; Charles G. Hardwick, Jr., of Decatur; Sarah Kathryn Hardwick who married Marvin (Tex) Colvin of Oklahoma City; Dr. George Hardwick of Huntsville; and Burl Hardwick of Danville.
7. DANIEL (FALKIE) STROUP, who married Mattie L. Griffin in 1908. They were the parents of five children. "Uncle Falkie" got "Texas fever" and "went west." He is the only living child of John James and Louisa Crow Stroup and is presently living in Paradise, Tex. "Uncle FaIkie" was widely known in Morgan County, was the owner of one of the first "T" model Ford cars. Many a time his car was mired to the axle in mud as he traveled the roads of that day. Qnce, as he puffed and panted trying to get "the latest things in transportation" out of the seemingly bottomless ruts of the old road leading onto the Means Bridge in the Decatur-Danville Road, a well known lady of the day, Mrs. ____Betterton, who was also known for her wit, passed by in her buggy. Her only comment as she passed by in her buggy. Her only comment as she passed: "The old gray mare may be slow but she's sure" gave "Uncle Falkie" that "extra go power" to get his "Tin Lizzie" out of the rut and full steam ahead. Mrs. Betterton was the mother of Hubert Betterton of Hartselle, Mrs. Lucille Sparkman and Mrs. Lillie Ellis of the Neel Community, and Mrs. Ovada Holt of Nashville.
8. LILLY PERKINS STROUP, b. July 4. 1890; d. Feb. 2, 1956, was the youngest of the family of John J. (Uncle Johnny) Stroup family. She married Eugene Edward Milam, March 9, 1911, in Decatur, and they were the parents of one daughter, Dorothy Louise, the writer of this column. "Miss Perkins," as she was known locally, "went west" with her husband and became active in Oklahoma politics. As a girl, she shared her father's love of horses and rode in many horse shows at the fairs in and around Hartselle. In her early days in Oklahoma, she became known for her horsemanship in horse shows at Fort Reno, the U. S. Army's Remount Station, and won many awards riding "army" horses. "Miss Perkins" was also well known in Oklahoma for her work as Executive Secretary of the Adult Blind Commission. To the blind of that state, she was "The Sunshine Lady," and was named "Woman of the Week" by the Oklahoma News for her outstanding work in rehabilitating the blind.

It is with pride and pleasure that the writer of this column pays tribute to a grandfather who passed away in 1925, but left such deep footprints in the sands of time that he is vividly recalled today by "old timers." He was a man with vision, predicting the troubles of labor with capital, and foresaw the great future of the Tennessee Valley. In addition to being a successful farmer, horse raiser, horse trainer and rider, he successfully operated a grist mill in the Neel Community.

It is also with pride that I dedicate this column to my mother, Lily Perkins, whose life was comparatively short, but who gave so much of herself to others.

The area known as Flint City today is one of the oldest settled areas in Morgan County (originally called Cotaco County). The shallows of Flint Creek, used as fords, in the vicinity were a great factor in its early years. The creek itself was a virtual water highway in the early days of no roads. The settlers used this creek in numerous ways: as a power source in the form of dams built to produce power to turn mills, grind grains, and produce the lumber for homes.

As the area was settled, transportation other than the waterways was needed and roads were laid out linking the community with other settlements. These crude byways were only wagon ruts carved deep by the travelers, with the path of least resistance being chosen. The fords more or less dictated the routing and in this respect Flint was fortunate in having the ford known as Red Bank close by. Later, ferries were built, assuring passage during flooding of the creek. One of these ferries was built and operated by James and Joseph Burleson at the old Pisgah Cemetery location. Some of these old roadways are still in evidence, leading to Decatur, Hartselle, Somerville, Moulton and Danville areas.

Some of the early landowners, Peatherston Walden, James Edens, Middleton Ford, Jonathon Ford, the Dancy's, Thomas Crow, Jonathon Burleson and others were quick to see the excellent bottom lands and future growth of this section. From about 1820 to l840, the area known as Flint was established and thriving as an important part of Morgan County.

The full growth of Flint was to await the coming of the railroads. This was after the Civil war and about 1872 The L.&N. was routed through Flint in its trek south. This made Flint an important shipping point and assured its steady progress as a trade center.

Crow leaves to mourn his departure a wife and eleven children, also three brothers and one sister with a great number of grandchildren and great-grand-children. For the last six years, Bro. Crow has lived at the feet of his Lord and Master. He often spoke of his departure as near at hand and in speaking of his peace with God tears of joy always told of the inward feeling while a smile played over the face. And now,
            "The pains of death are past
            Labor and sorrow cease
            And life's long warfare closed at last;
            His soul is found in peace."
            J.I. STOCKTON, Pastor

            His wife, SARAH ANN BODERY CROW was b. 1 Feb l824
            and departed this life on Nov. 22, 1900.

            The following is taken from her Obituary:

            "Death has again visited us. This time God called for the spirit of Sister SARAH ANN CROW, whose husband, D.R. CROW, preceeded her to the glory world only seven months and thirteen days.

            "Eleven children survive her, one is with the father and mother in the bright world. She was a devoted wife and mother, a Christian of rare faith, having prayed for her husband daily for more than fifty years before his Conversion. She was a member of the Shady Grove Baptist Church to which she was greatly attached."
            J. I. STOCKTON, Pastor

            NOTE: SARAH ANN BODERY CROW was one of fifteen charter members of the Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church at Neel, AL. Rev. J. I. STOCKTON was pastor 1894-1897 and one of the organizers.
