Hi Patricia,
My Crowder line seems to have a few of the same areas as yours and I feel that there might be a connection.? I was born in Coles County, Illinois and this is where my "Crowder" name ends with my 5-great grandmother, Martha "Patsey" Greer Crowder. Martha was the daughter of Philip Crowder and Susan Parish.
Martha - born January 1784 near Petersburg, Virginia - married Lewis Walker on 06 August 1806 in Hardin County, Kentucky - died 15 January 1843 in Coles County, Illinois.
I have a lot of information on the life of Philip Crowder. Like your Crowders he was located in the Mecklenburg area of Virginia where his family moved when he was 5 years old. They lived there during the Revolutionary War. Philip also volunteered at the age of 16 for the Revolution. But in 1791 the Philip Crowder family moved with forty other families to Kentucky. Philip married two more times after my Susan Parish died and finally ended up in Sangamon County, Illinois. Philip Crowder is one of the twelve soldiers of the American Revolution buried in Sangamon County, Illinois whose names appear on a Bronze Plaque in the South Mall of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. This was erected by the SAR and DAR. He is buried at the Crowder cemetery. (Philip Crowder 1760-1844)
I found some information (I have NOT had the time to prove it for myself, just holding on to it for a lead on where to go next!)it has a Abraham as Philip's father, then another Abraham for the next generation, then a Bartholomew O... For the first Abraham (Philip's father)it has - Abraham & Frances, with their children being: Angelina, William, Godfrey, Anderson, Thomas, Robert, Carey, PHILIP, Abraham, and Bartley.
Does this sound like a family you have run across in your Crowder researching?
Thanks for your time! Hope to hear from you,
Amy
