Mary Crump

Mary Parr Crump was the daughter of John and Miriam (____) Parr, Sr. Mary Crump is mentioned in John Parr's 20 Jan 1808 will as his daughter.

Mary Parr's father, John Parr, Sr., owned 400 acres of land on the Little Fork of Spoon Creek in Halifax (Patrick) Co., VA (Old Survey Book I (1746-1782), Pittsylvania County, Virginia by Marian Dodson Chiarito, 1988, p90). Mary Parr was born and grew up there. Her future husband, Robert Crump III, on 30 May 1767 would patent land only a few miles away which consisted of 400 acres located on Green Creek which flows into the South Mayo River.

Mary Parr married Robert Crump III in 1770 at Pittsylvania Co., VA.

Mary Parr Crump died about 1830 in Franklin Co., GA, She was living on 10 Feb 1826, when Mary Crump, Robert Crump and Richard Crump (2 of her sons) of Franklin Co., GA and James York of St. Clair Co., AL, as legatees of Robert Crump III, deceased, sold 75 acres on the north side of Leatherwood Fork (Franklin Co. GA Deed Bk. BBB, 1829-32, pp52-53, recorded 13 Apr 1830).

Mary Crump is probably the 70-80 Y/O female enumerated in 1830 US Census of Franklin Co., GA in the household of her son, Richard Crump.

The children of Robert and Mary (Parr) Crump III were: 1) John D. Crump, b. 1770 in Pittsylvania Co., VA, d. 04 Dec 1848 in St. Clair Co., AL, m. Abt. 1790, S.C., Sarah Cornelius 2) William Mountcier Crump, b. 1772 Pittsylvania Co., VA, d. 31 Oct 1844 Tuscaloosa Co., AL, m.

There is evidence, in spite of the lack of inscribed tombstones, that Robert Crump and his wife, Mary (Parr) Crump, are buried in the Crump Family Cemetery at Franklin Co., GA (see attached marker). The Malessa (Malissa) Crump, daughter of Robert Crump III, inscribed on this marker was born in 1779, died in Franklin Co., GA and married, 25 Feb "1805", to Enoch Andrews, who was born 1784 in Fairfield Co., S.C and died after 1850 in Franklin Co.(see Franklin Co., GA Marriage Register 1, p11, recorded as Enoch "Anders")

Mary Parr's father, John Parr, Sr., owned 400 acres of land on the Little Fork of Spoon Creek in Halifax (Patrick) Co., VA (Old Survey Book I (1746-1782), Pittsylvania County, Virginia by Marian Dodson Chiarito, 1988, p90). Mary Parr was born and grew up there. Her future husband, Robert Green Crump III, on 30 May 1767 patented land only a few miles away which consisted of 400 acres located on Green Creek which flows into the South Mayo River.

Mary Parr married Robert Green Crump III in 1770 at Pittsylvania Co., VA.

Sometime, about 1781/82 Robert Green Crump III and his family moved from Pittsylvania Co., VA to Patrick Co,, VA as evidenced by the birth places and birth dates of his daughters, Dinsolendy Crump, (b. Abt. 1782 Pittsylvania Co., VA) and Jane Crump (b. Abt. 1783 Patrick Co., VA). (Patrick Co., VA borders on both Curry Co., N.C. to the southwest and Stokes Co., N.C. to the south)

In a Patrick Co., VA court record of Thursday, 26 Feb 1795 is a reference to a deed transaction of John Parr, Sr. [father of Mary (Parr) Crump] to Robert Crump III [husband of Mary (Parr) Crump] of Stokes Co. N.C. (Patrick Co., VA borders Stokes Co., N.C on the north) (Ref: Abstracts of Order Book "O", Patrick County, Virginia (June 1791-August 1800), p88).

Robert III and family later moved to Surry Co., N.C., where he was granted 300 acres on Beaver Island Creek, 03 Nov 1784, and purchased 213 acres, 01 May 1787 (Surry Co., N.C., Deed Bk. "C", p227; Deed Bk. "D", p116).

Robert III was head of household in Stokes Co., N.C. in 1790 as Stokes Coonty was formed from Surry County in 1789. (Ref: "Heads of Families at the First Census...1790, North Carolina [Washington, 1908], p178) The 1790 US Census of Rockingham Co., N.C enumerated William Crump [brother of Robert Crump III] ( Ref: 1790 US Census, Rockingham Co., N.C Microfilm #: M637-7, Enumerator: Thos. Henderson). These two households were on the Stokes/Rockingham County line and were about 2 miles apart as confirmed in the 08 Jan 1847 St. Clair Co., AL deposition given by Sarah Hannah (Riggs) Crump, widow of Silas Crump (see below).

The 1800 US Census enumerated Robert Crump (III) as head of household in Salisbury, Stokes Co., N.C. William Crump (Robert Crump III's brother) was still enumerated in Salisbury, Rockingham Co., N.C. in the age range of "45 Y/O and older".

By 1808, Robert and Mary (Parr) Crump III had followed their sons, Silas and John D. Crump, to Franklin Co., GA, who had moved there in 1806. Robert III owned 200 acres on Bear Creek. Mary (Parr) Crump, his wife, was "charged with 100 acres the same year, 1808" (Ref: "Franklin County, Georgia, Tax Digests", IV, 1825-1839 by Martha Walters Ackor [Birmingham, Ala., 1981]., p12). On 01 Aug 1809, Robert sold 25 acres, part of the tract where he lived (Franklin Co, GA, Deed Bk. "T". 1809-10. pp65-66).

The 1808 property tax list of Bear Creek, Captain Benjamin Hollingsworth District, Franklin Co., GA contains the following note as mentioned above: Mary (Parr) Crump, wife of Robert Crump (III),-100 acres. Adjacent to this note is a listing of John (D.) Crump, brother of Robert Green Crump III, owning 200 acres.

Robert Green Crump III died in 1823 in Franklin County, GA. He was last named in the Franklin Co., GA tax digests in 1825 when his son, Richard (Lane) Crump, was listed for Robert Crump, Sr. (III), no poll ( Ref: "Franklin County, Georgia, Tax Digests", IV, 1825-1839 by Martha Walters Ackor [Birmingham, Ala., 1981]., p12).

Mary (Parr) Crump was proved to be living on 10 Feb 1826, when "Mary (Parr) Crump, Robert (Green) Crump (IV) and Richard (Lane) Crump (2 of her sons) of Franklin Co., GA and James York of St. Clair Co., AL, as legatees of Robert Green Crump III, deceased, sold 75 acres on the north side of Leatherwood Fork" (Franklin Co. GA Deed Bk. BBB, 1829-32, pp52-53, recorded 13 Apr 1830).

Mary (Parr) Crump was probably the 70-80 Y/O age range female enumerated in 1830 US Census of Franklin Co., GA in the household of her son, Richard (Lane) Crump. Mary (Parr) Crump died about 1830 in Franklin Co., GA.

The children of Robert and Mary (Parr) Crump III were: 1) John D. Crump, b. 1770 in Pittsylvania Co., VA, d. 17 Feb 1849 in St. Clair Co., AL, (Orphans Court Book 1847-1850, p156), m.

There is evidence, in spite of the lack of inscribed tombstones, that Robert Crump and his wife, Mary (Parr) Crump, are buried in the Crump Family Cemetery at Franklin Co., GA (see attached marker). The Malessa (Malissa) Crump, daughter of Robert Crump III, inscribed on this marker was born in 1779, died in Franklin Co., GA and married, 25 Feb 1808 to Enoch Andrews, who was born 1784 in Fairfield Co., S.C and died after 1850 in Franklin Co.(see Franklin Co., GA Marriage Register 1, p11, recorded as Enoch "Anders")
