Thomas Crews Family
Thomas Crews, son of Joseph Crews and Massey Johnson, was born about 1750 in Hanover Co. VA, and died March, 1841 in Stokes/Forsyth Co. NC. He married Mary Talley (1752-1836).
"This is to certify that I did sell my brother-in-law Thomas Crews a Negro girl by name of Elizabeth for value received about the year 1779." This record was dated Nov. 7, 1799 and signed by Reuben Talley. It was placed in the Stokes Deed Book June, 1839 in order to prove ownership for estate purposes. Thus, Reuben Talley was the brother of Mary (Polly) Crews who married Thomas Crews ca.1773 in Granville Co., NC.
Notes for Thomas Crews: His will dated 14 May, 1830; proved March 1841. (Stokes, Book 4, p. 75.) Witnesses Geo. Linville & Jemima Linville. Will mentions son Ashley &
son-in-law Soloman Warren. Daniel Dwiggins & Ursula Crew Dwiggins bought slave from estate of Thomas Crews 18 March 1841.
