Daddy was known by the name Elbert or Mr. Elbert. He was born December 20th 1901, the son of Hardy H. Crews and Martha Mizell Thomas. He attended school at Sardis School in Folkston Georgia.

Elbert was well known in the Charlton County Community. He took up alot of time with the children and the elderly. He always enjoyed being around people. He was a quiet man and a good listener and people respected him for that.

In his later years he worked for the Charlton County Road Department as a road grader operator. When the children heard the road grader coming they would run to see him.

Elbert married Mabel Crews, Nov. 24, 1926. Mabel was born on January 32,1908, the daughter of Charlie B. and Julia Altman Crews. Mabel loved to grow vegetables and flowers. She cared alot about people. She worked hard to keep things going.

The couple had four children. Agnes Duke married Harry Harvey (divorced) and Sonny Duke. W.C. Crews and married Lottie Hodges. Elmer married Jeanette Trouille (divorced) and Phyllis, and Kenneth married Edie Jurczyk.

The Script Warrant Acts of 1850 provided land to any soldier who served in the military before 1815. It is suspected that most sold their scrip for cash and never came to Florida. Many times a widow is the recipient of the land and her name will appear on the document. Death date refers to the veteran only and is based on the date of the warrant.
