The parents of Charles L. Crump, Silas Crump and Sarah Hannah (Riggs) Crump, were married in 1795 at Stokes Co., N.C. and they were enumerated there in the 1800 US Census of Salisbury, Stokes Co., N.C. Charles L. Crump was born in 1800 at Stokes Co., N.C. and moved, as an infant, with his parents to Franklin Co., GA. The family had moved from Stokes Co., N.C. to Franklin Co., GA by 1801 as their daughter, Malinda "Milly" Crump, was born in 1801 at Franklin Co., GA and Silas was recorded in the 1806 land owner tax list there. Silas was recorded as a taxed land owner in Franklin Co., GA during the years 1806-1811. He and his brother, John D. Crump, and their families migrated into Mississippi Territory before 1816. In the 1816 tax census of Monroe Co., Mississippi Territory, Silas was recorded living in the same household as his brother, John D. Crump. (Ref: "Inhabitants of Alabama in 1816" by Dixie Mays Jones, 1955, Pub. by Broken Arrow Chapter, DAR, Pell City, AL) This area became Alabama Territory on 15 Aug 1817 and subsequently St. Clair Co, AL when Alabama became a state on 14 Dec 1819.
Silas Crump and his family, including his 20 Y/O son, Charles L. Crump, were enumerated as living in St. Clair Co., AL in the 1820 U.S. Census. Silas Crump and his brother, John D. Crump, were recorded as the only Crump families living in the county in 1820. The first appearance of record for Charles L. Crump was his St. Clair Co., AL 29 March 1824 marriage record to Cinthy (Cynthia) Barnhill who was born in 1809 in Georgia. NOTE: See attached marriage document which also contains the marriage record of Jincy Crump, Charles L. Crump's sister, to Robert Payne which occurred on the same day. (Ashville, St, Clair Co., AL Courthouse, Marriage Book Record 1819-1847, page 28)
Cynthia Barnhill, Charles L. Crump's wife, was probably the sister of William Hodge Barnhill who was enumerated in the 1820 U.S. Census of St. Clair Co., AL and was recorded as having married his first wife, Sydney Hardwick, on 16 Oct 1822 in St. Clair Co., AL. This William H. Barnhill was born in 1799 in Spartanburg, S.C. Prior to 1828, the Charles L. Crump family had moved to McNairy Co., TN as their son, Silas M. Crump, was born there in 1828 (Ref: 1870 US census of Natchitoches, LA.) The William H. Barnhill and Charles L. Crump families were enumerated as living in McNairy Co., TN in 1830. Barnhill family tradition relates that some legal event (read: trouble) caused most of the Barnhill family to migrate to Louisiana about 1833. Charles L. Crump moved his family back from McNairy Co., TN. to St Clair Co., AL to be near his Crump relatives prior to 1836 as the birth of Samuel D. Crump, a son, in 1836 Alabama is documented by the 1860 U.S. Census of Natchitoches, LA. Charles L. Crump was enumerated in St. Clair, AL in the 1840 U.S. Census.
Charles L. Crump's father, Silas Crump, died on 17 Nov 1834 in St. Clair, Co., AL. Silas' final estate sale settlement didn't occur until 02 Mar 1840. Charles L. Crump purchased a cow and some bushels of corn from Silas' estate and his bill of sale is extant. (Ashville, St. Clair County, Alabama, Special Orphans Court Records 1833-1843, page 106)
Charles L. Crump's son, Thomas B. Crump, according to the 1860 US Census of Natchitoches, LA, was born in 1842 in Texas. In 1844 Charles L. Crump was living in Washington Co., TX and was documented as receiving a 640 acre land grant on 02 Nov 1844 (Texas General Land Office, Austin, TX, Land Grant Certificate #156). Charles' next child, Cynthia Crump, was born in 1847 Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. It would be interesting to know why Charles Crump spent such a short time in Texas.
The 1850 US Census of Natchitoches Parish, LA enumerated the household of 46 [sic] Y/O Charles L. Crump, a farmer born in S.C., and his 41 Y/O wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump, born in GA. Living in the household were their children: 18 Y/O William Crump, a farmer born in TN; 17 Y/O Daniel Crump, born in AL; 14 Y/O Samuel D. Crump, born in AL; 12 Y/O Elizabeth Crump, born in AL; 11 Y/O son, Alimus R. Crump, born in AL; 6 Y/O Thomas B. Crump, born in TX and 3 Y/O Cynthia Ann Crump, born in LA. Also living in the household was 24 Y/O George Barnhill, a laborer born in TN. He was the brother of Charles L. Crump's wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump.
About 1853, Charles' first wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump died in Natchitoches Parish, LA. On 07 Jun 1855 in Sabine Parish, LA, Charles Crump and Mrs. Mary Ann Lebo (widow of John Lebo of Sabine Parish, LA with several young children) were married. For some reason Charles was listed as a resident of Sabine Parish on the marriage document. Mary Ann Lebo was born Abt. 1811 in Alabama. (Sabine Parish Courthouse, Many, Louisiana, Marriage Bk. #1, page 44, certificate #194)
The 1860 US Census of Natchitoches Parish, LA enumerated the household of 51 [sic] Y/O Charles L. Crump, a planter (cotton) born in S.C., and his 49 Y/O widowed second wife, Mary Ann (Lebo) Crump, born in AL. Also living in the household was a mixture of Charles L. Crump's children by his 2 marriages: 21 Y/O Alimus R. Crump, a farm laborer born in AL; 17 Y/O Thomas B. Crump, born in TX; 14 Y/O Cynthia Ann Crump, born in LA; 12 Y/O Thomas J. Crump, born in LA; 12 Y/O James W. Crump, born in LA; 11 Y/O Cintha P. Crump, born in LA, and 7 Y/O Mary Crump, born in LA. The following children in the household were by Charles L. Crump's second wife: 5 Y/O James C. Crump, born in LA and 4 Y/O Charles H. Crump, born in LA. On 03 Jan 1860, Charles acquired 360 acres of land in Natchitoches Parish, LA. NOTE: The household next door was headed by Charles L. Crump's 26 Y/O son, William Crump, a planter (cotton) born in TN, and his 25 Y/O wife, Louisiana (Cumberlander) Crump, born in Sabine Parish, LA. They were married on 27 May 1852 at Sabine Parish, LA. Their children in the household were: 7 Y/O Lawrence Crump, born in LA; 4 Y/O Vernetta Crump, born in LA, and 2 Y/O Felix Crump, born in AL.
On 02 Sep 1863, a succession document was submitted in Natchitoches Parish, LA by Silas M. Crump, son of Charles Crump by his first wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump. It stated that Charles L. Crump had died recently and his estate was small. This indicates that Charles L. Crump died between 1860 and 1863. (Natchitoches Parish Courthouse, Natchitoches, LA, Succession Record Book 34, pp9-14, #1298)
Charles L. Crump's nephew through his brother, Robert W. Crump (1816-1883), was named Pleasant Riggs Crump. This Pleasant Riggs Crump, the nephew, had the distinction of being recognized as the last surviving Confederate Civil War Veteran when he died on Dec 31 1951. Among other notable events, he was at Appomattox Courthouse to witness the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee. See Find A Grave Memorial #13397843. (Source: "The Heritage of St. Clair County" Heritage Publishing Consultants, Clanton Al, 1998, p174.)
The descendants of Charles L. Crump are eligible for membership in the "Alabama Genealogical Society's" certificate program of the "First Families of Alabama" resulting from his having lived in Monroe County, Mississippi Territory prior to it becoming part of the State of Alabama on 14 Dec 1819.
Charles' burial site is considered by some descendants to be in an unmarked grave site in the Beulah Methodist Church Cemetery, Marthaville, Natchitoches Parish, LA among many of his Crump descendants.
The children of Charles L. and Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump were:
1) William Crump b. Abt. 1822 TN, d. Bef. 1870 Natchitoches Parish, LA. (In 1860 William and family were living next household to Charles L. Crump in Natchitoches Parish, LA.)
2) Silas M. Crump b. 16 Jan 1828 TN, d. Natchitoches Parish, LA.
3) Daniel Crump b. Abt. 1833 St. Clair Co., AL.
4) Samuel D. Crump b. June 1836 St. Clair Co., AL.

7) Thomas B. Crump b. 1842 Texas
8) Cynthia Ann Crump b. 1847 Natchitoches Parish, LA.
9) Mary Crump b. 1853 Natchitoches Parish, LA.
The children of Charles L. and Mary Ann (Lebo) Crump were:

2) Charles H, Crump b. 28 Oct 1856 Natchitoches Parish, LA, d. 03 Apr 1910 Natchitoches Parish, LA.
NOTE: Presently, there is no single document available that proves the father/son relationship between Silas Crump and Charles L. Crump. A Genealogical Proof Standard (Preponderance of the Available Circumstantial Evidence) has been researched, accumulated and organized by me, Gresham Farrar. The conclusion resulting from this evidence, would to any reasonable person, be overwhelming proof of the father/son relationship of Silas Crump and Charles L. Crump.

3) Daniel Crump b. Abt. 1833 St. Clair Co., AL.

5) Eliza Crump b. Abt. 1838 St. Clair Co., AL.
6) Alimus R. Crump b, Abt. 1839 St. Clair Co., AL.
7) Thomas B. Crump b. 1842 Texas
8) Cynthia Ann Crump b. 1847 Natchitoches Parish, LA.

NOTE: Presently, there is no single document available that proves the father/son relationship between Silas Crump and Charles L. Crump. A Genealogical Proof Standard (Preponderance of the Available Circumstantial Evidence) has been researched, accumulated and organized by me, Gresham Farrar. The conclusion resulting from this evidence, would to any reasonable person, be overwhelming proof of the father/son relationship of Silas Crump and Charles L. Crump.

Silas Crump and his family, including his 20 Y/O son, Charles L. Crump, were enumerated as living in St. Clair Co., AL in the 1820 U.S. Census. Silas Crump and his brother, John D. Crump, were recorded as the only Crump families living in the county in 1820. The first appearance of record for Charles L. Crump was his St. Clair Co., AL 29 March 1824 marriage record to Cinthy (Cynthia) Barnhill who was born in 1809 in Georgia. NOTE: See attached marriage document which also contains the marriage record of Jincy Crump, Charles L. Crump's sister, to Robert Payne which occurred on the same day. (Ashville, St, Clair Co., AL Courthouse, Marriage Book Record 1819-1847, page 28)
Cynthia Barnhill, Charles L. Crump's wife, was probably the sister of William Hodge Barnhill who was enumerated in the 1820 U.S. Census of St. Clair Co., AL and was recorded as having married his first wife, Sydney Hardwick, on 16 Oct 1822 in St. Clair Co., AL. This William H. Barnhill was born in 1799 in Spartanburg, S.C. Prior to 1828, the Charles L. Crump family had moved to McNairy Co., TN as their son, Silas M. Crump, was born there in 1828 (Ref: 1870 US census of Natchitoches, LA.) The William H. Barnhill and Charles L. Crump families were enumerated as living in McNairy Co., TN in 1830. Barnhill family tradition relates that some legal event (read: trouble) caused most of the Barnhill family to migrate to Louisiana about 1833. Charles L. Crump moved his family back from McNairy Co., TN. to St Clair Co., AL to be near his Crump relatives prior to 1836 as the birth of Samuel D. Crump, a son, in 1836 Alabama is documented by the 1860 U.S. Census of Natchitoches, LA. Charles L. Crump was enumerated in St. Clair, AL in the 1840 U.S. Census.
Charles L. Crump's father, Silas Crump, died on 17 Nov 1834 in St. Clair, Co., AL. Silas' final estate sale settlement didn't occur until 02 Mar 1840. Charles L. Crump purchased a cow and some bushels of corn from Silas' estate and his bill of sale is extant. (Ashville, St. Clair County, Alabama, Special Orphans Court Records 1833-1843, page 106)
Charles L. Crump's son, Thomas B. Crump, according to the 1860 US Census of Natchitoches, LA, was born in 1842 in Texas. In 1844 Charles L. Crump was living in Washington Co., TX and was documented as receiving a 640 acre land grant on 02 Nov 1844 (Texas General Land Office, Austin, TX, Land Grant Certificate #156). Charles' next child, Cynthia Crump, was born in 1847 Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. It would be interesting to know why Charles Crump spent such a short time in Texas.
The 1850 US Census of Natchitoches Parish, LA enumerated the household of 46 [sic] Y/O Charles L. Crump, a farmer born in S.C., and his 41 Y/O wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump, born in GA. Living in the household were their children: 18 Y/O William Crump, a farmer born in TN; 17 Y/O Daniel Crump, born in AL; 14 Y/O Samuel D. Crump, born in AL; 12 Y/O Elizabeth Crump, born in AL; 11 Y/O son, Alimus R. Crump, born in AL; 6 Y/O Thomas B. Crump, born in TX and 3 Y/O Cynthia Ann Crump, born in LA. Also living in the household was 24 Y/O George Barnhill, a laborer born in TN. He was the brother of Charles L. Crump's wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump.
About 1853, Charles' first wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump died in Natchitoches Parish, LA. On 07 Jun 1855 in Sabine Parish, LA, Charles Crump and Mrs. Mary Ann Lebo (widow of John Lebo of Sabine Parish, LA with several young children) were married. For some reason Charles was listed as a resident of Sabine Parish on the marriage document. Mary Ann Lebo was born Abt. 1811 in Alabama. (Sabine Parish Courthouse, Many, Louisiana, Marriage Bk. #1, page 44, certificate #194)
The 1860 US Census of Natchitoches Parish, LA enumerated the household of 51 [sic] Y/O Charles L. Crump, a planter (cotton) born in S.C., and his 49 Y/O widowed second wife, Mary Ann (Lebo) Crump, born in AL. Also living in the household was a mixture of Charles L. Crump's children by his 2 marriages: 21 Y/O Alimus R. Crump, a farm laborer born in AL; 17 Y/O Thomas B. Crump, born in TX; 14 Y/O Cynthia Ann Crump, born in LA; 12 Y/O Thomas J. Crump, born in LA; 12 Y/O James W. Crump, born in LA; 11 Y/O Cintha P. Crump, born in LA, and 7 Y/O Mary Crump, born in LA. The following children in the household were by Charles L. Crump's second wife: 5 Y/O James C. Crump, born in LA and 4 Y/O Charles H. Crump, born in LA. On 03 Jan 1860, Charles acquired 360 acres of land in Natchitoches Parish, LA. NOTE: The household next door was headed by Charles L. Crump's 26 Y/O son, William Crump, a planter (cotton) born in TN, and his 25 Y/O wife, Louisiana (Cumberlander) Crump, born in Sabine Parish, LA. They were married on 27 May 1852 at Sabine Parish, LA. Their children in the household were: 7 Y/O Lawrence Crump, born in LA; 4 Y/O Vernetta Crump, born in LA, and 2 Y/O Felix Crump, born in AL.
On 02 Sep 1863, a succession document was submitted in Natchitoches Parish, LA by Silas M. Crump, son of Charles Crump by his first wife, Cynthia (Barnhill) Crump. It stated that Charles L. Crump had died recently and his estate was small. This indicates that Charles L. Crump died between 1860 and 1863. (Natchitoches Parish Courthouse, Natchitoches, LA, Succession Record Book 34, pp9-14, #1298)
Charles L. Crump's nephew through his brother, Robert W. Crump (1816-1883), was named Pleasant Riggs Crump. This Pleasant Riggs Crump, the nephew, had the distinction of being recognized as the last surviving Confederate Civil War Veteran when he died on Dec 31 1951. Among other notable events, he was at Appomattox Courthouse to witness the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee. See Find A Grave Memorial #13397843. (Source: "The Heritage of St. Clair County" Heritage Publishing Consultants, Clanton Al, 1998, p174.)
The descendants of Charles L. Crump are eligible for membership in the "Alabama Genealogical Society's" certificate program of the "First Families of Alabama" resulting from his having lived in Monroe County, Mississippi Territory prior to it becoming part of the State of Alabama on 14 Dec 1819.
Charles' burial site is considered by some descendants to be in an unmarked grave site in the Beulah Methodist Church Cemetery, Marthaville, Natchitoches Parish, LA among many of his Crump descendants.
