General Notes: Husband - Jacob Johns
Jacob, died in Camden County in 1829, leaving two small children. His widow Elizabeth married John Crews, July 15, 1830
General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Stafford
Her 1st marriage was to Jacob Johns on 21 Dec 1826 in Camden County. He must have died before 1830. Her maiden name was Stafford.
She had at least 2 children with Jacob; daughters Malinda and Amy
Elizabeth married John Crews 15 July 1830 in Camden County.
Also sorting through Camden County court records and census data. Seems there was a John and Elizabeth buying and selling land as early as 1798.
The only John in the 1830 Camden Census appears to be the son of another John b. 1805
