Tim,
My ancestor Elizabeth (widow of Jeremiah WILLSON) was married IN 1829 to
Joshua M. CROW, son of this Reuben. I can trace Reuben and Joshua in the
abstracts of Quaker monthly meetings from about 1813 (Reuben and family
to to 1832 (Joshua). I have never been able to determine if Elizabeth
and Joshua had children together, although they both had at least one
child from previous marriages.
There is a Joshua CROWE in LDS records and a biographical sketch of Jay
Co., IN whose father was Reuben.  This Joshua married in 1837.  The
details in the bio don't agree exactly with what I know about
Elizabeth's husband, but it's close.
I received a transcription of James CROW's (of Chatham Co., NC) will
from <Wendell500@aol.com>.  It names the following children: John,
Stephen, Reubin, Isaac, Abel, William, Hannah Bron, Abba Riller
Pilkington, grandson Levy, and daughter Anna.

Write your reply.

assistant: This echo, like most others, seems to be dwindling.  Too many people are
apparently changing to the internet.  Since I have no desire to be on the
internet, I will try posting at least an occasional msg requesting help with
one or more of my lines.  Perhaps we all simply need "to stir the pot" a
little to stimulate more interest, more messages, and more help for all.
I need help documenting the parents of my:
     Benjamin IVIE b. abt 1782 VA; d. 1864 Gibson Co, TN.  m. Elizabeth
There were two earlier Benjamin IVIE's in Brunswick Co, VA.  One of them,
probably the elder, made a will on 28 Mar 1790, probated 26 Jan 1795.  In it
he left his mill plantation and "all the land wheron I now live to my son,
Benjamin Ivey, until my grandson, Benjamin Ivey comes to the age of twenty
one years."  [He had purchased 200 acres of land in Brunswick Co in 1752.
There was a mill on this tract of land.]
Benjamin IVEY and his wife, Elizabeth, sold 147 acres of land in Brunswick
Co, VA on 16 Dec 1822.
By 1840 there is a Benjamin in Grainger Co, and "my" Benjamin in Gibson Co,
who are both about the same age.
Too many Benjamin's!  Can anyone help me separate them?

the Stilwell's married some Brown's.  I have a Gid Stilwell married to Ida
Brown and a Francis Marion Stilwell to Cynthia Brown.  No dates or locations,
but just threw that out there in case you ran across the names.  If you do,
I'm interested.  Also, I don't know when my Stilwell's dropped that second l
in "still", but I don't think that that has always been like that. However,
my remaining relatives in the Hardinsburg area are spelling it with only one
'l' now.

Hello Tom,
I saw your message to Gail Thomas and as I may have an interest in the
Civil War, I thought I should reply.
I'm  down under in Australia and don't have access to either of the sites
shown above. However I'm lead to beleive two brothers of my GGF left Ireland
and migrated to America and ended up on opposite sides in the Civil War.
I'm looking for directions on how and were I would start looking for
records that will assist me.
All I know at this time is "Two brothers (first names unknown)
with the surname LARMER"
Is there a central register of names, books with lists or records that
I can access from Australia.
Looking for directions
Regards Ian.
