Isham appears to have relocated to Wayne County, Georgia after the 1820 birth of daughter Susan and before son John (Jack) was born (1822)

Based on Folks Huxford's findings (i.e. Daughter Susan married James Crews, her 1st cousin) Isham is a brother to Alexander Crews, Sr.

Mary O'Berry Crews was living in Nassau County, Florida,USA till she moved to Georgia,USA to live with one of her brothers. She died and was buried in Georgia. Burial is unknown.

Source-1850 Nassau County Census for Roger Crew and Minerva. Isham K. Crews is 3 years old in 1850. Jane who is 17 years old and Samuel who is 15 are Roger Jr.'s siblings. I've enjoyed the work you have done over the years on the Crews line. My wife is a granddaughter of David Caleb who was born in 1855 to Roger Jr. and Minerva. Roger died that same year. Thank you for your help.

General Notes: Wife - Virginia Ella Harrell



Virginia "Jennie" Harrell was the fourth child of Joseph Colley and Nancy
Holloway Harrell. She was born September 27, 1860, in Pine Hill (Brooker),
Florida, in the county of New River (now Bradford).

Jennie married James C. Crews, son of John and Sabra Dowling Crews. He was born in Pierce County, Georgia, on December 27, 1855. He moved to Bradford County, Florida, in 1876. James and Jennie were married in Starke, Florida, on August 1, 1877. They had five children, Minnie Ella, Wallace A., Alva Nancy, Calvin Jerard (Raude), and Gertie M.

James and Jennie bought land from her parents; the deed dated August 21, 1879, in the Bradford County Courthouse in Starke. They farmed this land and raised
their children and eventually died on this same land. They were members of the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church near LaCrosse, Florida, as were Jennie's parents and siblings.

Virginia Harrell Crews died July 8, 1921, at her home after a long illness.

According to her obituary in the Bradford County Telegraph, "The death angel visited the home of James Crews Friday morning and took his beloved wife,
Jennie. She was laid to rest in the New Hope Cemetery on July 9, 1921." James died seven years later on July 27, 1928. His obituary in the Bradford County Telegraph states that he died at the home of his son Wallie Crews. His death was caused by a fall that he never recovered from. He was laid to rest beside his beloved Jennie.
