Prof. Frederick W. N. Crouch
Prof. Crouch Came to USA 1847 author of the famous song (and many others)
"Kathleen Mavourneen" favored by the southern troops in Civil
War. He joined
the Richmond Howitzers (VA) in 1861 at the age of 52 and served the full
four
years and was at Appomattox at the end. He is buried at Loudoun Cemetry
on
"Confederate Hill" with honors. (see HOWITZERS "CROUCH"
any search.) He
authored "Oh how I Hate to get up in the morning" a parody on
Reveille since
he was the regiment BUGLER, NOT IRVING BERLIN as touted. It's recorded in
Howitzer diaries written 1863, 50 years before Irving Berlin. There's a
great deal more IF you're interested.
Thanks
Frederick W. N. Crouch V (great great grandson [presumably via Jr., III
and IV])

I am looking for information on Frederick William Nicholls
Crouch, b.31 Jul 1808 d.18 Aug 1896. He was a musician and
wrote a few well known songs. There is quite a lot of
information on him available on the internet, but it only
concentrates on his musical life. I am searching for his
parents, siblings and children. He is reported to have been
married 4 times with 17 or so children (one website hinted it
may have been as many as 27??? is that possible????) He was
born in england and came to america in 1848 under a cloud of
possible bigamy. He produced children into his 70's. To add to
my confusion, one of his daughters was Emma Elizabeth Crouch,
b.23 Feb 1842 d. 1886(?) She became the infamous Cora Pearl.
There are also pages devoted to her life(style) but nothing is
said of her family. I have searched over and over and come up
with very little evidence of wives or children for Professor
F.W.N. Crouch. Can anybody help me? I've come to a complete stop.
I am trying to connect FWN Crouch to my ggGrandfather Henry Richard Crouch
b.18 Apr1819 Stone House, Dock, Devonshire d. Apr 1888 at Woodhouse. My
family has always believed we were related (however distantly) but my father
passed away 20 years ago and those left dont know anything.
Just wanted to thank you for your interest... who knew there were so many
Crouch's in the world? The only one I have ever heard of was Jeff Crouch
(an australian rules football umpire) He died not too long ago and I
believe now there is a medal to be awarded to outstanding umpires in his
name.
Thanks ... Ruth.
