Thomas Spencer Crowder

Notes:

Children of Thomas Spencer CROWDER and Elizabeth HOLLOWAY are listed in the content of the e-mail from Cheryl BELL, source #233.

May appear in Mississippi Co ARK census in the home of Andrew Heatherington, as a schoool teacher. Right age, right birth state. A Mary CROWDER is also present in the home, also a teacher. Also a child, Evan Crowder. Mary is not the name of his known wife, who appears with him in the 1900 census - could have been a first wife? Or this may not be his family.

Thomas married Elizabeth Jane Holloway on 9 Mar 1875 in Tennessee, USA. Elizabeth (daughter of Robert Holloway and Eveline Roper) was born in Aug 1858 in Tennessee, USA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• 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
