In the matter of Mrs Crum
It is asked How did it happen that William Crum of Pennsylvania, and a soldier for the war should have been in the Western part of Virginia at the time here spoken of,
It happened in this way,
Mr Crum lived at first in Pennsylvania with his father, he went from home and enlisted in the army, contrary to his parents desires, he became one of Washington's life guards, and had to follow him, Mr Crum was with Washington at Kingsbridge and other places, and last at the battle of Little York where Cornwallis was taken, After this last battle, the army was quartered in various parts, Mr Crums part were at Cartersville Cumberland County Virginia where he came across Mrs Crum, then Mrs Furlong, her husband having been slain in the battle,
There being no proper person to solemnise their marriage at Cartersville they had to go forty or sixty miles to the town of Liberty in Bedford County, to a Baptist Clergyman, who married them as appears by the papers before presented.
City and County of New York ss. Robert Furlong being duly sworn says, that the above statement is true; that he derived his information from Mr Crum, and Mrs Crum his mother, that he has often heard them repeat the above facts, and further deponent saith not.

car BA-J/ILL William Crum W. 16225
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of William Crumb who, you state, was on the alarm list at Westerly, Rhode Island, and received a pension in 1818, in New York State.
The record has been found of only one William Crum, under any spelling of that surname, who received a pension in 1818 in New York State. The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 16225, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
William Crum lived with his parents in Pennsylvania at the time of the Revolutionary War; the names of his parents and the date and place of his birth are not shown. He left home against the wishes of his parents and entered service in the Revolutionary War.
William Crum served first as one of General Washington's bodyguard and was with him at King's Bridge; he enlisted sometime in 1778, at King's Ferry, New York, served as private in Captain John Craig's and Thomas Overton's troops, Colonel Stephen Moylan's 4 th Regiment of Light Dragoons, was in the battle of Springfield, also, at the surrender of Cornwallis, sometime afterwards was stationed at Cartersville, Cumberland County, Virginia, went later in charge of a detachment with prisoners to Elizabeth Town and to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he was discharged in December 1783.
The soldier resided in New York City sometime before 1812 and moved that year to Newburgh, Orange County, New York, where he drove a mill team.
William Crum was allowed pension on his application executed

April 8, 1818, at which time he resided in Newburgh, New York. He moved from Newburgh to New Windsor, Orange County, New York, and kept the toll gate between that place and Canterbury; his home was at Murders Creek. Sometime in 1828, he went to New York City to live and died there October 4, 1828, only a short time after arriving there.
William Crum stated in 1818 that he received land on account of his service in the Revolutionary War from the State of Pennsylvania, and also from the State of New York.
At the time William Crum was stationed at Cartersville, Virginia, he became acquainted with Mrs. Martha Furlong, whose husband had been killed in the battle of Yorktown; his name and the date of their marriage were not given. William Crum married this Mrs. Furlong; they travelled to Liberty, Bedford County, Virginia, to secure the service of a minister to solemnize their marriage; the date of said marriage and Martha's maiden name are not shown. Martha stated that they were married "about one year before the conclusion of the Revolutionary War", and that William Crum served in the army after their marriage. They were members of the Methodist Church as early as 1793.
Martha Crum, the soldier's widow, applied May 2, 1840 for pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War; she was then aged about ninety-five years, and resided in New York City, New York. She died there July 14, 1840, before the certificate for her pension had been issued. She had no living children by her husband, William Crum, at that time. The pension which was due was allowed Robert Furlong, her only surviving child. In 1841, Robert Furlong was aged sixty-nine years,, and resided in New York City.
There are no further data in regard to the family of this soldier.
Very truly yours,
A. D. HILLER, Executive Assistant to the Administrator
