72. BENJAMIN HOWELL⁶ ALLEN (NANCY ANN⁵ CRUMP, JAMES⁴, JOHN BUSHROD³, ADAM², JAMES¹) was born 10 Feb 1838 in Montgomery County, North Carolina (Source: Jeanine Bass, William/Nancy descendant.), and died 12 Mar 1901 in Arkansas (Source: Jeanine Bass, William/Nancy descendant.).

RANDLE 14 Sep 1877 in Stanley County, North Carolina, daughter of WILLIAM RANDLE and MARY ??. She was born 12 May 1851 in Stanley County, North Carolina, and died 12 Mar 1901.

Notes for BENJAMIN HOWELL ALLEN:
Other researchers have said that Benjamin was born February 19, 1838 in NC. He is said to have moved to Arkansas in 1859. During the Civil War he fought in the battles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Jonesboro and Nashville. Benjamin returned to Russellville in Pope County, Arkansas, where he married Bettie Howell. They had two daughters, Minnie and Bettie. His first wife died in 1874. He traveled back to Stanly County, NC, to marry Eugenia Randle July 5, 1877 (Source: marriage certificate). They had four children: Bennie, Randal, Samuel and Loy. Source: Biographical & Historical Memoirs of Western Arkansas, 1891, with information that certainly came from Benjamin Allen himself.)

He enlisted in Co. B, 2nd Arkansas Rifles in 1861. The four battles he said he fought in were major battles in the North's drive South to capture and burn Atlanta then march on to the sea. Jonesboro was the final battle that lost Atlanta. Confederate forces tried to yet defeat the North's army by retaking Nashville and cutting off the Federals' supply line. But instead the Confederates suffered disastrous defeat. Allen was among Confederate troops who surrendered at Greensboro, NC, in 1865. He died March 12, 1901. (submitted by Jim Adams).

Notes for JAMES FRANKLIN CRUMP, SR.:
The 1860 U. S. Census of North Carolina shows a James Franklin Crump, age 17, living in Anson county, Wadesboro District, pp. 543, working as a farm laborer on the Benjamin Henry farm.

When the Civil War broke out, James F. Crump joined the 4th Regiment, Company A, North Carolina Calvary. He enlisted in Anson Co., N. C. at the age of 18 on may 10, 1862, and was mustered in as a corporal. He was reduced in rank about March/April 1864 for "Neglect of Duty" and was present and accounted for on Company Muster Rolls through August 1864.

Company A was enlisted at Wadesboro, Anson Co., N.C., beginning May 10, 1862 for a period of three years or the end of the war. The initial recruits from Anson County were moved to Canp Vance, near Kittrell's Springs, Granville Co., N.C., where it was mustered into the CSA service on July 16, 1862. Here it remained until assigned to the 59th Regiment, N. C. Troops (4th Regiment N.C. Calvary) and placed under the command of Col. Dennis D. Ferebee on August 10, 1862. The 4th was assigned to duty in the Dept. of North Carolina until the spring of 1863 in this capacity until late spring of 1863 when it was placed in the Army of Northern Virginia, serving in that command until the summer of 1864. The 4th was then returned to the Army of Northern Virginia, where it reamined until the end of the war, in Gen. W.H.F. Lee's Division, Cavalry Corp, Army of Northern Virginia.

The 4th N.C. Cavalry participated in more than 50 various engagements during its tenure and was officially included among the CSA forces that surrendered at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865, but in fact, the 4th along with most of the Cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia was able to escape through federal lines. It disbanded a few days later, however, when it became clear that they would not be able to reach Johnston's forces in North Carolina.

After the Civil War, the family lost their land in NC and had to free their slaves. The children began to move. Some went to Mississippi, and James Franklin Crump homesteaded 40 acres near Rison Arkansas, or at least between Rison and Niven, south of Pine Bluff. His Homestead application in 1878 stated that he had lived on the 40 acres for at least ten years and had cleared four acres. On two acres he built a house of wood and logs with a fireplace, and farmed two acres.

The 1870 U.S. Census for Arkansas, Jefferson Conty, Randall Area, Talledega Twp, pp. 488/489, shows two (2) James Crumps living there. It is believed that this is a misenumeration or example of census fraud, and that there was only one James Crump family. He is listed as a farmer, age 24, married to Sarah Crump, his first wife, and having two sons, Frank (age 2) and William (age l). Frank died young while William went on to have ten children of his own. Sarah died in Oct 1870, and James married Priscilla Tisdale, a next door neighbor in Dec 1871.

The 1880 U.S. Census for Arknasas shows James Crump (age 35) married to Priscilla Crump, his second wife, (age 27) and two sons, James, Jr. (age 6) and Albert (age 1). (Note: George's middle name was "Elbert", but he was not born until 1882, so "Albert" could not have been an incorrect spelling for George Elbert - more on this at Sidney Johnston Crump) , living in the Niven Township of Dorsey County (now Cleveland), Ark. pp.8. He is listed as a farmer.

James also worked for the railroad, the booming industry of the time, and some farming. At one time or another all four of his sons worked for the railroad. Sidney was still working as a Station Master when he died in 1912. Robert Edward went on to be a university professor, but George continued to work for the railroad as station master until his retirement. George never married. James Jr. later became a doctor.

Notes for GEORGE ELBERT CRUMP:
"Uncle George" was a batchelor and somewhat a misor. He worked as station master in Millsap Texas during the latter part of his life. I remember that in the early '50's we took a vatation trip to Colorado and stopped in Millsap for my dad to go see Uncle George at his residence. He lived in an appartment above the train station, and my mother, sister, and I waited in the car because my father did not want us to see where and how he lived. - I remember that at only one time in my life I actually saw Uncle George, and it was at Ruey's (probably during Christmas). When he died in 1959 he left about $30,000 to his eight nephews and neices in Shreveport and Pine Bluff, Arkansas. He is burried at Graceland Cemetary in Pine Bluff.
