James Crews Family

Thanks to the late Gray Harmon for information on this family. James Crews, born about 1740 in Hanover County Virginia, died in Stokes Co. NC in 1831. His wife was named Emelia, surname unknown. He is distantly related to David Crews. The other main Crews lineage in this area is that of Matthew Crews.

First Generation

Children of James and Emelia Crews
Thomas Crews (ca. 1766-1846) m. Mary Whicker (1765-ca. 1847)

Rebecca Crews was previously identified here as the wife of John Jacob Shultz (1803-1833). This appears to be incorrect; his wife is documented in Moravian records as Anna Margaret Krause

Constance Whicker was the daughter of John and Martha Wicker or Whicker and was born in Granville Co. NC; she appears in Forsyth County records as Corry or Corney rather than Constance. Whicker family pages usually give her birth date as 1772. She is listed in the 1850 Forsyth Co. census as age 76, in 1860 as age 90, in 1870 as 104, and in her obituary (1872) as 106.

Reuben Crews died in Forsyth County in 1857; his will names his children and several grandchildren.

*James Walter Burton Crews (ca. 1838-1891?).

*Previously we questioned if his wife was Sarah L. (1857-1919) buried at Mt. Gur cemetery in Kernersville. We now believe that she was Sarah L. Shields who married the younger James W.B. Crews, son of John M. and Jemimy Crews, in 1872. We are not sure however which man is the J. Walter Crews who died April 21, 1891 in Kernersville. Can anyone help us here?

[Error corrected 1/14/04: previously we had Elizabeth's husband as Luther "Runnels" based on her marriage bond. His will, plus census and cemetery records, make clear that it's Reynolds. In 1880 they have a daughter Electa age 7, and two adopted sons, Robert and Henry. His will, dated 1905, names Henry as executor and guardian of Bessie Reynolds age 16.]
