(excerpt from a letter)
All our information about descendants of Lewellyn
Crouch comes from Marcia Kinder Oresky, of Arlington, Va. As you may
know, the descendants of Llewellyn's brother Jesse
King Crouch are very organized and have a reunion in Turney, Missouri
every year. Jesse King Crouch's children
moved from Fall Branch, Tennessee to Turney, Missouri in the 1870s and 80s.
Fall Branch is where our mutual ancestor Jesse
Crouch died and was buried in 1841.
Mrs. Kinder's genealogy says that John Nelson
Crouch was born 18 Nov. 1851 in Sugar Creek, Gallatin Co., Ky., married
Laura Ellen Riley on 26 September 1875 in Switzerland Co., Indiana, and
died on 13 July 1941 in Higgins.
John's father Lewellyn Crouch was born 10
April 1809 in Gallatin Co., Ky., and on 4 December 1834 married Hannah Kuhn,
b. 1812 in Tennessee, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Hendrix Kuhn. (The
Hendrixes of Carter Co., Tenn. often married Crouches, including two of
Llewellyn's uncles.) Llewellyn died 6 February 1879, in Quercus Grove, Switzerland
Co., Ind.
Llewellyn's mother was Susan King Crouch and his father was William
Crouch, b. 1787, son of Jesse Crouch
whose house we are restoring.
