Edward N. Crews was the sixth child of James and Sarah J. Earl Crews. He married Martha the daughter of Asa Parham and lived a mile west from Dabney and 3/4ths of a mile northeast from his father. He bought one of the poorest farms in the country and improved it until it became one of the best. He was a "hustler", an enthusiast. He specialized in being a good farmer, a good Democrat, a good churchman and a good liver. He was one of the first of his section to start the making of flue cured tobacco and one of the first to introduce Jersy cattle. He and his wife never had any children, and adopted his nephew Norfleet Green Crews. (from Sketches of William Hicks ...James Crews etc) by T. T. Hicks
