Martha (Hathcock) Crump was also blood kin to Henrietta's husband, Marion Hathcock, in some way. Henrietta's 2 unmarried sisters, 38 Y/O Sophronia Lucinda Crump and 35 Y/O Cordelia E. Crump were also residing in the household. NOTE: The following information about Martha (Hathcock) Crump comes from Larry R. Hathcock, a Find A Grave contributor id #46935064, who states she was his great, great grandfather's sister. He states that she lived near Greensport, on the Coosa River, in Shoal Creek Valley. She was buried in an unmarked grave in the Mt. Zion Methodist Church Cemetery just south of the intersection of Shoal Creek Rd and Macedonia Rd. (Thanks Larry R. Hathcock for this information.) The exact death date of 80+ year old Martha Crump is unknown. NOTE also: In the 1900 US Census, the household 2 doors away was headed by 46 Y/O James Crump, a farmer born in AL, and his 37 Y/O wife Ellen D. Crump, born in AL. James must have been close kin. NOTE: FAG contributor, Tim Hathcock, FAG id #50195946 reports that Martha Hathcock’s youngest brother, Francis Marion Hathcock (1837-1863) enlisted in August 1862, as a private in Co. E, 12th Regt of the Alabama Cavalry, CSA and died on 24 May 1863 in the Civil War. The 1860 US Census of Township 13, Range 3 East, Ashville, St. Clair County, Alabama enumerated three Hathcock households adjacent to each other. They were headed by Dancy Hathcock, the father, and his 2 sons, Alderson and William Hathcock. The 1860 household of 70 Y/O Dancy Hathcock, a farmer born in North Caroline and his 65 Y/O wife, Lucinda Hathcock, a housekeeper born in North Carolina. Also living in the household were their children, all born in Alabama: 27 Y/O Mahala Hathcock, a housekeeper; 25 Y/O Elizabeth Hathcock, a housekeeper; and 23 Y/O Francis Marion Hathcock (1837-1863), a farmer who died in the Civil War. FAG contributor, Tim Hathcock, reports he is the great, great, great grandson of Alderson Hathcock (Many thanks to Tim for his input).

One of Robert W. and Martha (Hathcock) Crump's children was Pleasant Riggs Crump. He was named after his grandmother, Sarah Hannah (Riggs) Crump and his uncle, Pleasant Riggs Crump (brother of his father, Robert W. Crump).
The story of their son's, Pleasant Riggs Crump (1847-1951), involvement in the Civil War, although exemplary, probably would have gone unnoticed except for his exceptional longevity, 104 years. He lived to be recognized as the last surviving Confederate Civil War Veteran. Among other notable events, he was at Appomattox Court House to witness the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
