Subject: Elijah Crouch (1763-1826) Family Research
I am still having a lot of fun researching my Crouch Family History. My
research focus on to collect genalogical data and documentation on all
descendants of Elijah and Mary (Ellis) Crouch. I, of course, wish to exchange
data with other researchers. Then, I research the ancestry families of both
Elijah Crouch and Mary Ellis. Hopefully a complete and documented family group
sheet for their fathers, grandfathers, etc. will emerge in order to share
these records on to our children and grandchildren.
Hope to hear from all of you soon.

Crouch-Ellis connection WashingtonCo. Tn, Wednesday 16-Aug-2000 20:34:53, 24.4.253.32
I am seeking information on an Elijah Crouch Sr. and his association with
the Ellises of Boone's Creek Washington Co. Tn. The story has been told
that a John Ellis(1742-1842) lost his wife and part of his family to Indians
in NC. It is said that he later moved to Henry County Va and lived for a
brief time with Elijah Crouch Sr.
I know that John Ellis moved to the Boone's Creek area in the 1780's. His
second marriage was to a Jemima Lane. My ancestor William Ellis purchased
land on Boone's Creek in 1784. He is most likely a brother to John Ellis.
William's daughter Mary married an Elijah Crouch and I assume this to be
the son of Elijah Crouch Sr. Has anyone seen any records that would
substantiate that John Ellis did indeed reside with Elijah Crouch in
Virginia. Also I have never seen any records relative to the Indian
massacre. I'm not sure where one would find records like these. Any
suggestions?

William Ellis died testate 1808 in Washington County, Tn. A
follow-up will after the death of his wife, Martha, named Mary
Ellis Crouch as a daughter.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~kylaurel/willmarthaellis.html

The above site provides a link to the 1809 William Ellis Will.
Both Wills list a Mary Crouch

The following children listed in the Wills are enumerated in the
1850 US census:

James Ellis who married Betsy Gresham(Washington Co., Tn 1850
Census). He is listed as 82 years old and born in North Carolina.

Margaret Ellis Bean(wife of Edmond Bean)- 1850 Washington Co.
Arkansaw Census, Cane Hill Twnship
in the household of Elijah Shipley as a mother-in-law. She is
listed as 81 year old and born in North Carolina.

John Ellis who married Elizabeth Bean - Is enumerated in
the1850 Carter County, Tn Census. He is listed as 70 years old
and born in North Carolina.

Clark Ellis who married Nancy Deakins - Is enumerated in the
1850 Marion County, Tn Census. He is listed as 58 years old and
born in Tenn.


Elijah Crouch
Born: 1770 Virginia
Died: 1825 McMinn Co, Tennessee
Spouse: Mary Ellis
Married: 16-JAN-1792 Washington Co, Tennessee
Born: 1772 Virginia

They lived in Carter Co, Tennessee, Cumberland Co, Kentucky

It would be very helpful to me to know if it has been documented
that the Mary Ellis Crouch listed in the above information was
indeed born in Virginia. My research has shown that her father
sold property in Randolph County, NC in 1782 and purchased land
on Boone's Creek in Washington Co., Tn in 1784. The information
taken from 1850 US census records indicate that they were in NC
at least from 1768 to1780. Of course, it maybe possible that
they moved briefly to Virgnia where Mary Ellis was born. Any
help on this would be appreciated.

My name is Betty Ann Marks and I live in NYC. I was adopted and looking for my family blood roots and found my Crouch name. My father who was also adopted did not know his real family name until I found out for both of us. It is Crouch. Our line goes back to John Crouch Sr., one of his sons Elijah,
had a son named James, who had a son named Jesse Pearson, who had a son named
James who married Silby Ann Winningham, who had a son named Donnie, who had my
father Claude Crouch and his brother Ralph Crouch (who is believed to be
Porter Wagner). This is my line of Crouches. I have never met or spoken to
any of my Crouch relatives and I am eager to learn about my family. Please
contact me.
