For the record, this is the message that I sent to Donna with the information detailing her Crowl connections:
Donna,
Your comment about having difficulty getting information from your Crowl relatives is very consistent with what my aunt Sabra-Jo said. The Crowls are a stubborn group in general and prefer to keep their backgrounds private. However, with the name Calvin Crowl, I was able to trace a connection back to Johann Micheal Grauel (~1682-1773) from Germany. The following is directly from my aunt's entry:
"Calvin D. Crowl was born Sept. 1875 and married Alice Haines. Alice Haines (see Haines section) Crowl and Calvin were married in 1896. As of 1910 they were in Akron, Summit Co., Ohio with two children, Verna M. born 1898 and LeRoy, born in 1905. We know that Verna married a Pierson and lived in Massilion, Stark Co. LeRoy moved to Lacon, Illinois and that's all we know of the Calvin D. Crowl family"
If you can verify that this information is consistent with what you can find out, I will be happy to forward more information on the previous generations, such as that on Daniel Crowl below and more from Issac W. back to Johann Michael.
Calvin's father was Daniel W. Crowl, the son of Isaac W. and Barbara Shively Crowl. Daniel was in the Civil War in K157 Infantry from May-Sept. 1864. After the war he worked as a carpenter for the rest of his life in Carroll Co. Ohio. Daniel died in 1899 in Minerva, Ohio and is buried at the Valley St. cemetery (which is the same place my gg grandfather, Andrew Crowl (also a Civil war soldier), is buried.
I look forward to your reply,
Bob Crowl
(plus excerpts from my next message to Donna):
Donna,
I am pleased that I was able to help you find your roots...actually it is my aunt Sabra-Jo to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for the incredible job she did researching the Crowl history. Her book is over 400 pages, and when I get her new address, I will forward her address so you can request your very own copy. In the meantime, I will make photocopies from my copy of the pages pertaining to your direct line of decent and send them to you.
Also would you mind posting a note on the forum to inform other curious Crowls about your new information (Donna had already posted before I had a chance to check)? Once I came across the (this) forum and found other sites for more research, I was able to find other missing links in Sabra-Jo's book using the various internet sources; for instance, the Crowls in Kansas are probably decended from a Simon Crowl (born 1836, from Columbiana Co., Ohio) who is listed in the book and I found his name as a pensioner from a Kansas registry from 1883. I was quite interested in this finding because a few years ago, I sent out a broadcast message to all Crowls who were Prodigy members to find out what I could about their connections, and one Crowl replied that it was highly unlikely that he was related to the Ohio Crowls, as his family originated in Kansas......it made me wonder if I was corresponding with a native American with a German name :-)
I look forward to your (and any other curious Crowls) reply.
