Hyram Crabtree b. 1789 SC d. 1864MO
Looking for the background of Hyram Crabtree born 7 Oct 1789 in SC. He appears to have been married twice, though I have only one wife. There is a ten year gap between children and that usually means a gap between spouses. The wife If have is Elizabeth Hunter. Hyram died on 9 Oct 1864. His homestead was in Schuyler Co, MO, but he was evidently with one of his children in Adair Co, MO when he died. He is buried with his last wife, Elizabeth Hunter, ast Bridge Creek Cemetery, near Wilmathsville, Adair Co, MO. According to his pension affidavits, his father was Anderson Crabtree and he had a brother also named Anderson Crabtree and he served with both of them out of Bledsoe Co, TN. (Some say his father was a William, but that appears incorrect.)His children are born in Edgar Co, IL and Vigo Co, IN. He arrived in Schuyler Co, MO in 1851 or so. His children, as I have them at present, are Mary, Susan, John, a girl died young, Elizabeth, Anderson, Rachael, Jane and Sarah.
