Hello Everyone,
I've recently had a phone discussion with Samuel Francis Crews III
from Columbia, SC who will be joining our group soon. His family is from
the Colleton-Beaufort(now Hampton) area of SC from which almost all the
Crews families of GA and FL are descended. His help will be a great
asset to us concerning the southern line. The scarcity of records is
still a problem in SC which keeps us from getting beyond the census of
1790.
Sam's line intersects with Margie Kwiatkowsi's line at Samuel Francis
Crews 1812-1880 married to Rachel A. Faust. Sam describes his line in
this way:

"I am Samuel Francis Crews, III (b. 1952). My father is Samuel Francis
Crews, Jr. (b. 1921) His father was Samuel Francis Crews (1879-1958).
His father was Jerry Benjamin Crews, son of Rachel Faust and Samuel
Francis Crews."
Sam explained that Jerry Benjamin Crews had a brother named Samuel
Francis that died childless of dissentery during the War of Northern
Aggression.

Margie gives hers as follows:

"My g.g.grandmother was Cynthia Maria Crews (1847-1933), I would like to
know more about her father, Samuel Francis Crews who married Rachel
Faust."

Sam also said there was an earlier Samuel Crews in the area in 1772. Sam
has a copy of a receipt given to this Samuel by Gen. Greene during the
Rev. War for a horse and a cow. The researchers on this list have
thought that John Crews1735-1820 and Nancy Collins were the head of this
line. Margie's grandmother says that Samuel Francis Crews b.1812 came
from Syracuse, NY and I have seen a reference in the SC Genealogical
Exchange Quarterly which lists a will probated in Charleston in 1704 for
a John Cruise and his wife Elizabeth. The 1790 census has six heads of
households in Bartholomew's District of Colleton Co, SC and two of these
families have children over the age of 16. Maybe some of you have more
evidence to add to this mystery. Below is a revised cemetery list of
Crews' Cemetery in Hampton Co, SC where Sam and Margie's ancestors are
buried. The Cynthia Crews Thomas below is Margie's g-g-grandmother and
Samuel F. Crews b.1812 is her g-g-g-grandfather and Sam's
g-g-grandfather.

CREWS CEMETERY

Directions: Located outside of Cummings, SC. Take I-95 to S.C. Hwy 68E
to Cummings, SC.Turn right at the first store in Cummings. Travel 1-2
miles and turn left on Fisher Rd. Go to the end of Fisher Rd. and turn
right on Henderson Rd. Drive 1-2 miles to a clean dirt road on the
right. the dirt road is approx. 1/2 mile long. Take the right fork at
the end and you will see the cemetery.
(NOTE: If you miss the dirt road and reach the end of Henderson Rd.
where it intersects Old Salkehatchie Rd. and you can see Weekley's barn
then you have gone 200-300 yards too far.)

Samuel Crews was born in 1830 in Beaufort District, South Carolina, the son of Samuel and Elizabeth Crews. Samuel moved with his parents from South Carolina in 1837, settling first in Ware County, Georgia and later in Columbia County, Florida (that part now Baker). On October 30,1851, Samuel married Harriett Raulerson who was born in 1831. Harriett was the daughter of Nimrod and Sarah (Dukes) Raulerson, and the grand daughter of John Rolfison/Rawfinson, R.S. . The marriage was performed in Baker County, Florida by William Williams, Justice of the Peace. Samuel and Harriet had the following children:

1. Charlotteb.1852, m.Joel Robinson, 1/3/1878, Baker Co., Fla.
2. Nimrod b.1856, m. Martha M. Hodges, 11/16/1886, Baker Co., Fla.

7. Susan b.1865. Died young.

Following their marriage, Samuel and Harriett lived near Baxter, Florida where they were engaged in a lifetime of farming, except for the time when Samuel was serving in the Seminole Indian War.

On August 25, 1857, Samuel enlisted in Captain Oscar Hart's Company, Mounted Volunteers, at Fort Brooke for a term of six months and was discharged on February 24, 1858 at the same fort At the time of his enlistment, Samuel was twenty-six years of age, six feet, two inches in height, blue eyes, light hair and light complexion. After leaving the service, Samuel returned to his farm and family in northern Baker County where he lived for the remainder of his life. Samuel Crews died at home in Baker County, F101i da on March 3, 1895 and was buried in the Crews Cemetery, located north of Baxter.

Harriett (Raulerson) Crews filed for an Indian War widow's pension for Samuel Crews' military service during the Seminole War on August 16, 1902. Harriett's pension application was supported by documents from William C. Cobb of Sanderson, Florida, and George Reynolds of Baxter, Florida, both stating that they had served with Samuel Crews in Captain Hart's company. The application was also supported by statements of Noah Robinson of Trader's Hill, Georgia and A. N. Hogans of Welborn, Florida that they were present at the marfiage of Samuel and Harriett. Her pension # 6268 was authorized on June 27, 1902 at the rate of $8.00 per month. Harriett (Raulerson) Crews died in October of 1906 and is buried by her husband.
