Robert Crump (I) married Elizabeth Tydings of Ann Arundel Co., Maryland, daughter of Richard Tydings (1638-1686) and Charity (__?__) Tydings (Ref: "Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5" by John Frederick Dorman, Vol. I, 4th Ed., 2004, p362).

"Richard Tydings of Anne Arundel Co., MD left his will dated 02 Feb 1687 (Maryland Prerogative Court Wills 6, p40, without probate entry) which gave a 375 acre tract (called "Nanjomie") in Baltimore Co. to his daughters, Charity and Elizabeth Tydings. On 25 June 1719, Robert Crump and his wife, Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump, of Queen Anne's Co., MD, sold 187.5 acres, half of "Nanjomie", to Phillip Thomas, "of which Robert was seized in right of his wife" (Baltimore Co., MD Deed Bk. TR #DS, pp47-51) (Ref: "Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5" by John Frederick Dorman, Vol. I, 4th Ed., 2004, p362, Footnote #50). [Also refer to the memorial of Elizabeth Tydings Crump, wife of Robert Crump I for a compete discussion of why there is resistance to accept that Robert Crump I was the husband of Elizabeth Tydings).

On 10 Jan 1700, Robert and Elizabeth Crump (I) sold a tract on Coursegall Creek in Chester Hundred (Kent Co. MD, Deed Bk. "M", p110).

On Aug 1702, Robert and Elizabeth Crump (I) sold James Heath their moiety of 300 acres, "Crump's Forest", which had been patented by his father (William Crump), but bought it back, 16 Nov 1708 (Kent Co., MD Deed Bk. JD#1, pp34-35; Queen Anne's Co., MD Deed Bk. ET#A, p34).

On 28 June 1715 Robert and Elizabeth Crump (I) sold 200 acres of "Crump's Forest" to James William. Jr. (Queen Anne's Co., MD Deed Bk. IK #A, p38).

On 28 June 1718, Robert and Elizabeth Crump (I) sold "Crumpton" to Darby Mahar (Queen Anne's Co., MD Deed Bk. IK #A, p188).

The recent correction of the 100 year old genealogical error concerning Elizabeth Tydings Crump, Robert Crump, I's wife, is FULLY covered in her memorial and on the memorial of Thomas Sparrow, Sr. The widely propagated error misidentified her husband as John Belt, son of Humphrey Belt. (See also attached "Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5" by John Frederick Dorman, Vol. I, 4th Ed., 2004, p362, Footnote #50, for a brief explanation).

The inventory of Robert Crump, I's estate taken 11 March 1748 in Queen Anne's Co., MD and was signed by "next of kin" Preposia Bostick (Ref: Robert Crump inventory, MD Inventories 41:209-210, FHL microfilm 0,012,876). A Preciosia Crump married Samuel Bostock 14 Jan. 1730 at St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anne's Co., MD (Ref: F. Edward Wright, Maryland Eastern Shore Vital Records 1726-1750, (Silver Springs, MD: Family Line Publications, 1983), p48). Use of the name Preciosia/Pretiotia among the Crump family is added evidence that Richard Tydings daughter, Elizabeth, married Robert Green Crump (I).

Robert and Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump, I had the following children: 1) Robert Crump II (see below). 2) Mary Crump, m. 1) 10 Jun 1719 Abraham Montague (St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anna Co., MD, Register), 2) (__?__) Godfree (Based on the assumption she is the Mary Godfree who with Precosia Bostick signed the next of kin on the inventory of Robert Crump (II), 11 March 1748/49-Maryland Prerogative Court Inventories41, p209) 3) Preciosia Crump, m. 14 Jan 1730/1 Samuel Bostick of Queen Anne's Co., MD. (St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anna Co., MD, Register; See also source #1 below, page 363.

NOTE: The middle names of Robert Crump I (1673-1748) and Robert Crump I (1706-1770) aren’t found in the genealogical records as far I can determine but records concerning Robert Crump III (1745-1823), the son of Robert Crump II, have injected an interesting development. Some of Robert Crump III’s records refer to him as Robert Crump, Sr. when he and his son, Robert "Green" Crump, Jr.’s (aka IV), names are in the same record. This would logically lead one to believe that Robert Crump, Jr. could also be referred to as Robert Crump IV which would mean that Robert Crump I, II and III would share the middle name of “Green”. In addition, Barton Guess Crump (1814-1889), son of Silas Crump (1775-1834) named a son, Henry "Green" Crump (1847-1901). Also, Martha (Crump) Yeargin (1808-1884), daughter of Robert Green Crump IV, named a son Simeon "Green" Yeargin (1844-1917). John Wesley Crump (1854-1943), son of Robert Green Crump IV, named a son "Green" Crump (1896-1915).
