MY CREWSE FAMILY

This family data would not have been possiable
without the hard work of Jack and Naomi Crewse.
I would like to dedicate this site to them,
and all of my Crewse relitives,who furnished
me with information.

Nancy Crews
At this time,we have very little information on
Nancy Crews. The 1830 Rhea Co.,Tenn. Census
shows her as head of household and the mother
of eight children.4 sons and 4 daughters.
The second oldest son,10 year old Rufus Marion Crewse

In 1831,Nancy Crews and Martin E.Paul(relation unknown)
received a land grant(Land Grant #19001,dated,
29 October 1831) from the government for a 500 acre
farm on Walden Ridge Mountain, in Rhea Co.,Tennessee.
Records show Martin E.Paul later married a Martha Cruese.

On the 23rd of Sept.,1837, the Rhea Co. Court records
a mortgage deed where Nancy Crews(made her mark)
and Hardy Crews(believed to be her son),borrowed money and
gave the farm as colateral. Hardy Crews is shown on the
next census in another County with his own farm & family.
