Crisp Family Genealogy Forum
  
I'm also descended from Abel Crisp & Susanna Jarrell(s) through their son Carroll (Carrell) Crisp who marr 18 FEB 1831 in Floyd Co KY, Elizabeth Click; their son Sylvester D. Crisp marr 30 MAR 1854, Morgan Co KY to Levisa Whitt; etc. Don't know as much as you do re: Abel Crisp, but have a little re: Susanna Jarrell, nicknamed "Sukie" - dau of William Jarrell (b Craven Co NC c. 1750) & Susannah Parks, who marr 03 JAN 1770, I think in NC, & later moved to Sandy Hook, (now) Elliott Co KY. One source (Elliott Co History - compilation of family histories submitted by residents & descendants, so of variable reliability) says that Susanna Parks was a Cherokee, and my grandmother (now dead many years) remembered family stories that her grand- father Sylvester Crisp (noted above) visited "Indian Territory" (unspecified) years back to visit relatives etc. Census records do show that Carroll Crisp & family moved to Arkansas (where some of their kids were born) but returned to Morgan Co KY prior to 1850 census. Anyway I'd love to share info with you; unfortunately my e-mail is out of service indefinitely (borrowing a Compuserve account to access web). Snail mail address is 5323 Shelby Ct, Fremont CA 94536-7243 if you (or others who may be related) are interested. Michael Fannin McCartney
