I have no family connection to the Crum family, but they are mentioned in a family memoir.My family was in McNairy County, TN and/or Tippah MS 1840-70.
"The Union Army was supposed to keep order, but the rebel thieves and local bushwhackers roved about the country, stealing horses and anything else worth stealing.Men were killed because they were too old to harm anybody.Old man Crumwas killed although he was tottery with age.In 1913, when I was in Amity, Arkansas, teaching I heard that some of the Crums there were working on the railroad.They were from the same family in Mississippi that my mother told me about."
