I'm sorry -- I don't have any Mary A Crum in my database.
I do have two Jacobs:
Jacob - b 1766, Montgomery County, VA
He was apparently the second son of the stone mason Matthias Crum, who had migrated from the Palatinate (a region also known as the Pfalz. That area endured quite a few years of considerable unrest and hardship for many of its people, who did the sensible thing and left.
I found a Jacob Crum in the 1850 Scott County, Indiana, Census , but I have my doubts about him being the same as the above. He's listed in the Vienna TWP (which makes him quite appealing), as a wagonmaker.It lists his wife as Ann Nancy, age 61, and also Virginia born. I found no listing of children with them.
and
Jacob "Jake" Crum b. 1788 in Virginia, son of Johann (John) Crum and Catherine Allhands (sometimes spelled Olhance). He is a half-brother to Christian james Crum (my ancestor of interest) by Johann's first wife, Elizabeth King. I don't have anything else on Jake; I've not pursued that line because it doesn't lead anywhere for me. According to my collection, he also had brothers John, Henry and Andrew.
Christian is a given name that's persisted. The earliest one I've included is the one b. abt 1768 and is a son of Matthias Crum the above-mentioned immigrant.
Christian James Crum is a progenitor i've tracked: b. in Louisville, KY (which had only a fairly short before been Virginia) in 9 Oct 1797; married Nancy Stutesman (Stuttsman, Stootzman and a couple of other various of the surname) 27 Nov, 1821, in Clark County, In. They lived and died (Christian on 8 Sep 1873) in Scott County and are buried (acc to my info) in Clark's Chapel Cemetery.
They had a potful of kids -- lost a couple as infants-- including Nancy Ann, b. in Indiana in 1834, died 5 Nov 1905. She married Hezekiah Pound (b. 7 Jan 1821), and that's as much as I have on them.
The 1850 Census lists Nancy (Chrisitan's wife) as being unable to read or write. Her brother Joel was living with them in 1850 -- I rather think he was a widower. I found her in the 1860 Census (Vienna TWP, Scott County), but not after.
Does this help? Feel free to write me at [email protected] if you'd like me to pick around some more in my pieces.
