Sarah Catherine Crenshaw, dau of William Claton(SP?) Crenshaw and Eliz. R., is my ggrandmother.I show her b. 6/11/1864, m. Telford Douglas Phelps, d.6/18/1957.Telford b. 2/12/1862, d. 2/18/1928.Some of this info is from my grandmother's bible so I cannot swear spelling or dates are exact.
Sarah and Telford had 10 children, 7 born in IL before moving to TX around 1900 or so.My grandfather, Earl Tilford Phelps, was b. 12/20/05 in LaBelle, TX, d.10/18/1958.LaBelle is a small settlement not far from Beaumont, TX.
Telford was a blacksmith.My grandfather, Earl, made a living in his own weld shop working for farmers and ranchers building equipment and repairing their equipment.
I am trying to find out why the move to TX.Did they follow someone there?Also, had reached a dead end until now.My info got sketchy when I got back to William Claton and Elizabeth.Had no idea where they were from, etc.Anything you can provide will be deeply appreciated.
I will e-mail picture of Sarah and family (not very good reproduction) and one of my grandfather in the next few days.Is your address the same?
Thanks,
Karon Phelps McCullough
