Descendants of Adam Crump

Generation No. 2

2. JAMES³ CRUMP (ADAM², JAMES¹) was born 1745 in Lancaster Co., Virginia, and died Aft. 1805 in Montgomery County, North Carolina. He married ISABELLE MONROE 1776, daughter of THOMAS MONROE and CATHERINE HORE. She was born 12 Nov 1751 in Fairfax Co., Virginia, and died 1797 in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

Notes for JAMES CRUMP:
James was been said to have been born in Leesburg, Loudoun County, VA, by his granddaughter, Laura Patrick. But that could not be the case. Loudoun was not even created until 1758 (James had to have been born between 1742 and 1748), and Leesburg was created later that year from scratch. Clearly, Adam and Hannah Bushrod moved to Lancaster shortly after they were married in 1742. Based on those facts, I am showing all three of their children as being born in Lancaster County, VA.

James Crump was active in the state government and served as one of five representatives from Montgomery County to the State Convention which met in Hillsborough in July 1788 and voted overwhelmingly not to accept the United States Constitution. James was again a representative when North Carolina ratified the Constitution, becoming the twelfth state to join the Union.

James headed the North Carolina Militia until his death sometime after about 1805. His only son, John Bushrod Crump, II, named for his brother, John Bushrod Crump, succeded him in this position. James' wife was Isabelle Monroe, is said to have been a cousin of Pesident James Monroe.

3. HANNAH BUSHROD³ CRUMP (ADAM², JAMES¹) was born 1746 in Lancaster Co. Virginia. She married ROBERT MOSS 15 Sep 1766 in Fairfax Co., Virginia (Source: Bill Hailey's book, "Arkansas Hills to the Texas Plains" - June 1993, records Hannah Crump's marriage to Robert Moss as July 22, 1766, in Loudoun County, VA.), son of JOHN MOSS and FRANCES LOVELL.

Notes for HANNAH BUSHROD CRUMP:
When Hannah married she was not of age and her mother had a marriage contract drawn up whick specified that Robert Moss would not be able to sell any of the land belonging to his wife, nor her Negros, during her lifetime, and at her death, if there were no children, all the land and the Negros willed to her by her father, Adam, would revert to Hannah's brothers. Thus, the land would reamin in the family.

Children of HANNAH CRUMP and ROBERT MOSS are:

	i.		ROBERT⁴ MOSS II, m. NANCY ANN ARNOLD.
	ii.		JOHN BUSHROD MOSS.

4. JOHN BUSHROD³ CRUMP (ADAM², JAMES¹) was born Bef. 06 Sep 1748 in Lancaster Co., Virginia (Source: John Bushrod Crump full name was on a deed, Fairfax Co, VA Deeb Book L & M p. 293 - 296 ap per Nancy Lewis 8/31/96.), and died 04 Jun 1837 in Montgomery County, North Carolina (Source: Nancy Lewis 8/31/96.). He married MARY STEPHENS. She was born Abt. 1755 (Source: 1810 US Census, Montgomery Co, NC.), and died Abt. 1859 in Montgomery County, North Carolina.

Notes for JOHN BUSHROD CRUMP:
John Crump served as a private in the Continental Army from Virginia under General Green, and, along with his brother James, was in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. John Crump was "Entry Taker" or Land Clerk for Montgomery, NC for many years.

When John sold his land in VA it was mentioned as a "medicinal doctor". In 1790, the Census reports both John and James lived near the "Narrows" on the east side of the Yadkin River. He owned 5 slaves according to that census.

John, along with his son James and James' wife Elizabeth are burried on the original land granted to them by the state of NC in what is now the Badin Lake area of the Uwharrie National Forest in North Carolina.

In the late 1760's and early 1770's, James and John Bushrod's names appeared in Court Records of Fairfax County. Suits were brought against them for minor debts. On one occasion James failed to appear. On another, Hannah, their mother, paid their debt. In one Grand Jury presentment, the case was dismissed.

James and John also inherited land from Adam's first wife, since neither of the sons of Adam and Anna Barbara McCarty lived to majority. John is thought to be the youngest of Adam's children, and had to have been born by the time Adam wrote his will in Sept, 1748. Some descendants believe that John was the oldest since he was named first at least twice in Adam Crump's will. Without futher documentation I will leave it as is until new material is uncovered.

Children of JOHN CRUMP and MARY STEPHENS are:

HANNAH⁴ CRUMP, m. JAMES BUCHANAN?.

Notes for HANNAH CRUMP:
Earlier notes mentioned that Hannah may have been married to a Buchamson. After a careful review of the Census records from 1810 through 1850, it appears more likely that Hannah was married to a "Buchanan", and the best possible candidate is James, althouth this is not at all confirmed! EC 1/2000
