Notes for Stephen CROW:[smch8.FTW]
Note: Fought in the Revolutionary War as a member of the GeorgiaMilitia.

Some info from Dale Morgan, Census records, Court records from Clark Co. GA.
Stephen is listed as a Revolutionary War soldier, with metal. Grave stone says Georgia Troops Revolutionary War. On the 1792 Chatham Co. NC census, Stephen Crow, plus 4 males under 16 years and 2 females. Also in that census were Isaac, James, John, William Crow. 1800 census Chatham Co. NC. 12101-00001-02. On the 1820 Clarke County Georgia census, he appears with one male child between 16 and 26, himself as over 45 and one female between 10 and 16 and wife, over 45. 1830 Clarke Co. GA. census.
Stephen reportedly came to Georgia around 1801 but it may have been earlier. He was active in land deals, buying his first land, 150 acres, in 1783. He is one of the executors of his father's will in 1792. His father does not bequeath to Stephen any land. There were at least eight tracts of land registered to Stephen Crow in Clarke County, Georgia prior to 1800.
Stephen was admitted to the membership of Mar's Hill Baptist Church on 1801/1804, by experience and excluded from the membership on Jan. 17, 1806. There was no explanation given for this but just few months earlier, Stephen and his father-in-law were fishing and John Stroud either fell from a boat or a foot bridge (I've heard two versions) and drowned. Stephen was possibly considered a drunkard. His sister-in-law, Elizabeth Stroud, apparently never forgave him.
Will of Stephen Crow. Names wife Margaret, sons Abner, Aaron, Martin, Joshua, Eli, daughter Rachel Burnett. Appoint wife Margaret Crow, Issac Crow, and William Stroud, my executors. Will witness 8th day of June 1830, and proved July 7, 1834. On file in Clarke County, Georgia. Clarke Co. GA. book B page 135.
Stephen Crow is buried on the outside of the fence to the Stroud cemetery lot. Elizabeth Stroud Crow did not think that Stephen was "quality" so refused to allow him to be buried in the Stroud plot. Elizabeth was married to Stephen's brother Isaac Crow. The death date is in question because his will was not probated until 1834.
1827 Lottery drew as Rev. soldier, 2 draws. 1805 Lottery, GA. 2 draws, Clarke Co. GA. (now Oconee County).
Key researcher for this family has been Sydney Davis.
