Documentation:
Some Background:
* Johnathan Wilson Crow and Martha C. Fenn Crow were my GG Grandparents, their son, Alfred Milton Crow, married Saleta Ann Frances Holcombe Crow, and were my Great Grandparents. Johnathan and Alfred were both farmers, and boot & shoemakers too.
* Alfred M. Crow was enumerated with the John Hansard family in lower Hall Co., GA in 1860. John Hansard reportedly operated the Bond Ferry on the Chattahoochee River (Joseph Ballinger Bond Sr. a Revolutionary Soldier living in Robert's Dist. in 1850 near our Crows). John Hansard?s sister, Polly Archer Hansard, was married to Johnathan's assumed brother, Norman Morrison Crow, by Silas King, MG, in 1835 in Gwinnett Co. GA. More on Silas King and another of Johnathan's assumed brothers, Samuel B. Crow, below under churches.
* Census Records:
Hall Co., GA 1840 to 1880. Johnathan W. Crow moved his family, after the Civil War, to Whitfield Co. GA, but returned to Hall Co. GA a short time and was enumerated in Robert's GMD once again in 1880. I find him back in Whitfield Co. GA's Mill Creek Dist. 1233, Effie P.O., on Tax Digest Records from 1890-1894 and no further records found after that date.
* According to old family letters, we believe Johnathan died a short time after his son, Alfred Milton Crow, c1894, which agrees with the tax records as well.
* Schools:
Poor School Students, Roberts 413 th. GMD of lower Hall Co., GA, most likely Johnathan?s teacher was his future broth-in-law, Thomas A. Fenn, who was paid for teaching in that district. Re: Families of Hall Co, 1817-1849 by Robert S. Davis, Jr., pgs. 86-89, and poor school records of Hall Co. GA, 1829/30.
* Bet. 1836 - 1839; Possibly in the 1st. Company (Forsyth Guards) led by Captain James Gaston to control the Seminole uprising in FL. Re: History of Forsyth Co. by Don Shadburn, pg. 73. 1861-1864: Enlisted at Hog Mountain P.O. Hall Co. GA on 24 September 1861 as a private, CSA, Army of Northern Virginia, Company H, 35th Regiment, Hall and Gwinnett Co.'s GA, "County Line Ivincibles" as did two sons, Alfred Milton Crow, my GG, and later on, Samuel Jackson Crow did also. Alfred and Samuel were captured just before Lee?s surrender near Petersburg VA. They were sent to prison at Pt. Lookout MD, and thankfully survived the terrible place, as many did not, and were released a few months later.
* Military Notes:
According to CSA Records, Johnathan W. Crow was born in Franklin Co. GA, was 6 feet 1/2 inches tall, fair complexion, blue eyes, and black hair. He enlisted at "Roberts Crossroads" at "Hog Mountain" Gwinnett/Hall Co., GA as a Private-September 24, 1861. Discharged, disability, April 12, 1864.
* Tax Records:
1848 & 1849; Martain's District, Hall Co. GA After the civil war; Mill Creek Dist.1233, Effie P.O., Whitfield Co. GA.
* Voter Registration:
1849; Election for the 115th. G.M. at the House of Robert Young, Hall Co. GA. 1867-1868; Whitfield Co. GA, Vol. 262, Book 2, pg. 93, Georgia State Archives, Drawer 297, Box 6.
* Will:
Known found to date.
Some additional Background:
* Johnathan Wilson Crow arrived in lower Hall Co., GA?s Robert?s 413 District about 1827, or 1828, having come from Franklin Co., GA, probably with his assumed parents, Samuel Crow and Susannah, who are enumerated in lower Hall Co. GA in 1830 & 1840, and likely died in the Shoal Creek area of Robert?s GMD 413 District before 1850 and were buried at the old Shoal Creek Baptist Church Cemetery in unmarked graves, or on the Crow property near the Chattahoochee River and Shoal Creek. I have little doubt his parents were Samuel Crow and Susannah (maiden name unknown) both were born in the 1770's, and probably in one of the Carolinas, but have no documentation to prove it. I have found Samuel Crow on the Savannah River, around the Powder Bag Creek in Elbert Co. GA, and is today?s Hart Co. GA, in 1802 or 1803, about 3 years before he drew in the 1806 Lottery there in Elbert Co GA. Samuel Crow is found on the tax digest records of Franklin Co., GA from 1818-1826 and where he purchased and sold property as well. Samuel Crow's neighbors, of nearby Elbert Co. GA, witnesses his property deeds in Franklin Co. GA. Franklin Co. is where Samuel also paid, or filed tax returns for the assumed male children as they tuned of age, 21 years.
* Johnathan Wilson Crow's siblings, I have no doubt, but are "assumed" to be for the lack of primary records:
1. Coleman W. Crow (1798 SC, died c1865 in St. Clair Co., AL)
2. Carlisle B. Crow (1799 SC, died 1870 in Hall Co., GA)
3. Wm. Thompson Crow Sr. (1801 SC, died 1897 Franklin Co. GA, his grandson, Wm. Alfred Crow Sr. (aka: W.A. Crow) was Sheriff of Hall Co., GA for several years and his son, W. A. Jr., followed in his father?s footsteps and was Sheriff there as well. W. A. Sr. was the son of Alfred M. Crow (1835-1863) that died from wounds in the Civil War in TN, and not to be confused with my Alfred Milton Crow, son of Johnathan)
4. Samuel B. Crow (c1803 GA, died unknown prob. St. Clair Co. AL)
5. Norman Morrison Crow (1809 GA, died in Cherokee Co. AL)
6. James M. Crow (c1811/12 GA, died 1880-1890 Cherokee Co., GA)
7. Johnathan Wilson Crow (above)
8. Possibly 3 unknown sisters, one could be Lucinda Crow that married William Hendrix in Hall Co. GA on 10 Dec. 1828, but is still unproven as well.
* Churches:
Samuel B. Crow helped establish the original Shoal Creek Baptist Church in the area of Shoal Creek and the Chattahoochee River in Hall Co. GA with Silas King, MG, in the 1830's, according to the History of the Island Ford Baptist Church by Pugh, a Church in Gwinnett Co. GA, another Church they helped establish, and where some of our Crows & Moulders also attended and are buried as well. Another Church that Samuel B. Crow attended and was a deacon and charter member of was Friendship Baptist Church in Hall Co. GA. Samuel B. Crow also helped in Baptist Church in St. Clair Co. AL where he last lived among more of the Crows of Orange/Chatham Co., NC. Relationship to these NC Crows has not been determined to date (2002).
