Notes:

John CROWDER, who is found in the 1880 Howell Co MO census at age 33 is almost certainly the same John CROWDER found in the 1850 Lawrence Co TN census, age 3. Supporting this is the fact that the John Crowder in Howell Co census states his father was b in SC and his mother in VA. The 3-yr-old John in the 1850 Lawrence Co census is with his father, John, b SC and mother, Ann, b VA.

He named two of his children Amanda and William - names of his siblings.

Additionally, he would be a nephew to Bluford A. Crowder, who had moved to Howell Co after the War.

• RESEARCH: Use of the name Terrill, as is found in our Crowder line. Author Gregory C. White. Re: African American Crowders gregwhite12 (View posts) Posted: 19 Oct 2002 04:25PM Classification: Query Hi, Gina. I suspect most, if not all, of the African-American \"Crowder\'s\" from Monroe County, GA are descended from the former slaves of John Terrell Crowder (1820-1895), prominent local politician, planter and colonel in the Confederate Army. I\'ve probably done more research on Colonel Crowder than anyone alive today. He\'s a key figure in my book, \"A History of the 31st Georgia Volunteer Infantry\". He was the inventor of the \"Crowder Pea\". His plantation was in the Boxankle Community of Monroe County, along the Towaliga River. His house is still standing, I believe on the road connecting Boxankle to High Falls. I seem to recall seeing a slave narrative from a former slave owned by Col. Crowder\'s father (Fred?). It was in the Georgia volume to the American Slave Narrative series published in the 1930s. Most good libraries should have this set. I hope I\'ve been of some assistance. Good luck in your noble endeaver! Sincerely, Greg C. White -------------- Also FindAGrave for this Crowder line: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47291076/john-terrell-crowder
