Virginia Clewis Gerganous · Any and Everywhere · 1 Apr 2000
I can trace my family on the Crumpler side back to a Blackman Crumpler. He had a son named Thomas Crumpler. Thomas had a son named Cornelius Rhodes Crumpler. Cornelius Crumpler's daughter Carrie Crumpler married John Pickett Clewis from Columbus County, NC. One of their sons, Paul J. Clewis is my father. After being told about this sight by my sister Margaret, I started to look at this Crumpler info and I become more interested each time I get into it. I only have one grand-aunt living on the Crumpler side. Her name is Virginia Mac Crumpler. She is a victim of Alzheimer's disease therefore she can't be of help to me in a family research. In years past I have heard her mention some of the names of the Sampson County, NC Crumplers. She has spoken of Redman and Bluman Crumpler also. Oh, How I wish I could have known when I was a teenager that I was going to be so caught-up in searching my family tree. I have a lot of ends to tie-up in this tree. Would be glad to hear from any of my kin..Thanks
