JOHNS KNOW SECRET TO LONG HAPPY MARRIAGE

LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING,AND IF YOU DON'T BELIVE IT, JUST ASK THE EXPERTS, JIM AND PEARL JOHNSON. THE JOHNSONS KNOW ,BECAUSE THEY ARE CELEBRATING THEIR 74TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TOTAD, APRILL 22.
JOHNSON DOES NOT REMEMBER PROPOSING TO HIS BRIDE," THE FIRST TIME WE MET IT WAS LIKE WE KNEW WE WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER,"JOHNSON SAID WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS FADED BLUE EYES.
THE COUPLE WERE MARRIED AT THE BRIDE'S HOME IN THE MILL VILLAGE JUST OUTSIDE SYLACAUGA ON APRIL 22 1923. THEY MOVED INTO A TWO-ROOM DUPLEX IN THE VILLAGE FOR THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF THEIR MARRIAGE, MOVING TO THEIR PRESENT HOME IN COMERDALE IN 1935. "IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, WE MOVED IN THIS HOUSE ON FEB. 15TH OF THAT YEAR" SAID JOHNSON.
JOHNSON WAS 19 AND HIS BRIDE WAS 18 WHEN THEY MARRIED. THEY HAVE RAISED THREE CHILDREN: CARLTON JOHNSON, WHO LIVES IN ANNISTON;CLARICE MARIE JOHNSON SCOGGINS, WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR; AND CURTIS JOHNSON, WHO DIED OF CANCER IN 1972.
THE HOME THE JOHNSONS HAVE SHARED FOR THE PAST 65 YEARS IS A WHITE FRAME HOUSE THAT SITS ON A KNOLL, SURROUNED BY SHADE TREES. COLORFUL SEASONAL FLOWERS AND SHRUBS TO ATTEST TO THE PEACE AND CONTENTMENT INSIDE THE HOUSE THROUGH THE YEARS.
JOHNSON SAYS IT'S NOT ALWAYS BEEN A BED OF ROSES FOR HIM AND HIS WIFE. "WE'VE HAD OUR UPS AND DOWNS, BUT I,M A FIRM BELIVER THAT TO MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK, IT TAKES A LOT OF GIVE AND TAKE ON BOTH PARTS." THE JOHNSON'S HAD NO ELECTRICITY FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS THEY LIVED AT COMERDALE, BUT JOHNSON SAYS WITH THE HELP OF HUGH COMER THEY FINALLY GOT LIGHTS, AND IT WAS A HAPPY DAY FOR THE FAMILY.
THE JOHNSONS ARE DEEPLY RELIGIOUS,AND BOTH AGREE THEIR LONGEVITY IS SIMPLY A GIFT FROM GOD. HE IS 93 AND SHE IS 92. HE CELEBRATED HIS BIRTHDAY APRIL AND SHE CELEBRATED FEB. 16.
THEY ARE MEMBERS OF ODENA BAPTIST CHURCH,AND HAVE BEEN SINCE 1936. JIM WAS ORDAINED A DEACON IN 1938. "THE CHURCH WAS JUST A LOG CABIN BACK THEN" JOHNSON RECALLS.
THE JOHNSONS BOTH WORKED AT AVONDALE MILLS, AND BOTH WORKED IN THE WEAVING ROOM. SHE RETIRED IN 1941 AND HE RETIRED IN 1959.
THEY RECALL THEIR FIRST CAR WAS A 1922 MODEL T. "IT DIDN'T HAVE A TOP ON IT " SAID MRS. JOHNSON,"AND WHEN IT RAINED WE HAD TO COVER UP."
LAST SUNDAY, FAMILY AND FRIENDS GATHERED AT THE JOHNSON HOME TO CELEBRATE THEIR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. THERE ARE SEVEN GRANDCHILDREN AND EIGHT GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN.
"GOD HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO MY PARENTS" SAID MRS. SCROGGINS> "THEY HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL SERVENTS THROUGH THESE YEARS. ALWAYS PUTTING GOD AS HEAD OF OUR HOME. WE ALWAYS HAD DAILY PRAYER AND DEVOTION WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP"
PEARL AND JIM JOHNSON FOUND A SECRET THAT SO MANY COUPLES SEARCH FOR,AND THAT IS THE WAY TO MAKE A HAPPY HOME, GET ALONG WITH EACH OTHER AND MAINTAIN A STEADY AND TRUE LOVE FOR EACH OTHER THAT LASTS THROUGH THE YEARS. JOHNSON SAYS THE SECRET IS SIMPLE "WE OWE IT ALL TO THE LORD"

[NI0716] A HISTORY OF THE CROW FAMILY
COMPILED BY SARAH NAOMI CROW WALLIS

MANY THANKS TO NAOMI WHO PUT A LOT OF TIME AND WORK INTO GATHERING MOST OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE CROW FAMILY


An Overview of the Crow Family History


Through my research, I believe that our ancestors were pioneers in the early settlement of America. The 1800 Census of North Carolina lists four men named Crow living in Chatham County, North Carolina. I believe they were brothers. They were Abel, Abner,John and Stephen Crow. The Joseph Habersham Chapter, DAR, Volume II, page 391, states the Crows were from Sussex County, Virginia.

While I have not been able to establish the father of our Martin Crow, I believe that Stephen crow was the grandfather or uncle of our Martin Crow. The Crow family had a unique way of naming their sons. Often, in my research, I have found that a father would name his son after his (the father's) brother. This has made the research very difficult, but interesting. While the research follows the life of Stephen Crow, it also shows the movement of our relatives across America.

Stephen Crow was born on February 28, 1750. He married Margaret Peggy Stroud. Her parents, John and Margaret Stroud were founding members of the Mars Hill Baptist Church, Oconee County (formerly Clarke County), Georgia. Markers at the Mars Hill Baptist Church show that John Stroud and Stephen Crow were in the Revolutionary War. Their graves are marked by metal plagues.

Stephen Crow and Margaret Peggy Stroud had six children. They were Abner, Eli, Rachel, Joshua, Martin, and Aaron. Records show that Joshua, Martin and Aaron served as Riflemen, Privates, during the War of 1812 for Georgia.

Land was opened for settlement after the Battle of Horseshoe
Bend and the Cherokee Indians experienced the "trail of tears". It
Was made available through land and gold lotteries. Martin Crow, Denson
Crow, Abner Crow and Aaron Crow were listed in the 1832 Georgia Gold
Lottery. Martin Crow, Denson Crow, and Marlin T. crow (the son of Aaron
Crow) were listed on the 1832 Cherokee Land Lottery of Georgia

Stephen Crow died on August 5, 1830. He left a remarkable will that is included in this booklet. While I will restate that Stephen Crow may have been the grandfather or uncle of our Martin Crow, I believe this to be a noteworthy entry in our family records. Stephen Crow had, at the time of his death, five hundred and fifty-three acres of land, ten slaves and several heads of livestock.

Aaron Crow, Stephen Crow's son, also left a will. In it he names his son Marlin T. (not Martin) as one who will inherit "that which she
+¦_ _knows". It also states "his other children", which are not listed by name. Aaron Crow ~d have been the father of our Martin Crow.

The early members of the Crow family continue to migrate westward during the early and mid 1800's. Martin Crow (father of Robert Denson Crow moved to Randolph County, Alabama and was listed on the 1850 Census. He later moved to Tallapoosa County, Alabama and married Sarah Jane Mezick, on September 18, 1846. He was drawn to this area because of gold mines that were operating in Tallapoosa County, Alabama. Two gold mines were Ulrich1s Dutch Gold Mine and "Hog Mountain Cold Mine".

A Dentson Crows (spelled as listed) and Martin Crow (grandfather of Noah Persible Crow) were listed as serving in W. A. Stricklin's (spelled as listed) First Class Militia, for Beat 11, Tallapoosa County, Alabama during the War Between the States. Dentson Crows is listed as a sergeant and Martin Crow is listed as a private. Their ages were fifty-five and fifty-three, respectfully. Thus, they served to protect their homes and their neighbor's homes while others participated in active military involvement.




1/2
Robert (DenTSon Crow, father of Noah Persible Crow, was born on
January 7, 1851. He married Sarah Jane Trussell on October 2, 1874.
Robert Denson followed in the footsteps of his father, Martin, by working
In area gold mines. He died on October 3, 1888.

My father, Noah Crow, had always told the story of how his father died as follows: His father was trying to get a morning fire started in the fireplace. However, this was quite difficult since the matches had gotten wet during the night. He tried to dry the matches by blowing them. At some point, the matches blazed up and Robert denson inhaled a large amount of sulfur. Soon after he died. However, records at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville, Alabama state that he died of a brain tumor.

While the area around Goldville had once boasted of 14 stores, nearly a dozen saloons, two hotels, schools and several churches, the town had lost many settlers as gold was discovered in California.

This must have been a very difficult time for Sarah Jane Crow. She had four very young children to raise. My father was only two years old. At some point she moved to Talladega County Alabama. My father said that he was hired out to a farmer when he was about five years old. It was his job to drop seeds in the furrows as the farmer plowed. He also told that he worked in the Sycamore Plant of Avondale Mills when he was a child. He had to stand on a box in order to reach the very dangerous machinery.
While I have yet to document the accurate family relationship, one very interestING RElative is another Denson Crow. When he died, he left several outstanding debts to area residents and to the J. C. Whaley Company and Crayton, Smith and Company.

In order to pay his debts, his wife, Emily, legally asked the court for proceeding to settle his debts. This was achieved by selling all his personal belongings.

Because of records from J. C. Whaley and Company, I believe that Denson Crow was providing a "service" to miners in the area. This "service" may have included owning a bar or simply "bootlegging". It is quite interesting to see the various items that this Denson Crow purchased.

It is equally remarkable the legal proceedings that were held in order to settle his debts. In the documents, it states that Denson Crow had no children; but his wife, Emily, was left withouT anything. Even the groceries in the house were taken to be used to pay for the debts.

Cemetery Records of Harmony Presbyterian Cemetery, located three and one-half miles north of Horseshoe Bend National Military Park on Highway 49, in Tallapoosa county, Alabama, state that Reverend Denson Crow died on May 12, 1872, had a Double Masonic Emblem. His wife, Emily, died on June 15, 1875.

STEPHEN Crow

(Perhaps the Great or Great Great Grandfather of Noah Persible Crow)


The Crow family had a unique way of naming their sons. Often, in my research, I have found that a father would name his son after his (the father's) brother. This has made the research very difficult.

While I am still researching, I do believe that Stephen Crow was the father or grandfather of our Martin Crow.

Martin Crow, Sr.

(Grandfather of Noah Persible Crow)

Martin Crow, Sr. and Sarah Jane Mezick were married on September 18, 1846, in Tallapoosa County, Alabama.

A Martin Crow is listed on W. A. Stricklin's First Class Militia, Beat 11, Tallapoosa County, Alabama during the War Between the States. He was listed as 53 years old. His rank was private. While there is no date on the Muster List, I believe it to be written between 1861-1865. This would mean that Martin Crow was born between 1808 and 1812. Since this was the location of our ancestors, I believe that this Martin Crow was our Martin Crow.

Martin Crow had eleven children. They were:

Robert Denson Crow

(Father of Noah Persible Crow)


Robert Denson Crow and Sarah Jane Trussell were married on October 1, 1874.

Records in Tallapoosa County show that Sarah Jane Treadwell married a
James A. Crow on November 7, 1872. Talladega County records show that
Sarah Jane Crow married a William Hamilton on February 11,1909. Could
This be the same woman? If so her full name would be:

Sarah Jane Trussell Treadwell Crow Crow Hamilton

Robert Denson Crow was born on January 7, 1851. He died of a brain tumor on October 3, 1888. Sarah Jane Trussell was born on February 4, 1854. She died on April 13, 1909.

SUCH AS THIS IS NOT UNHEARD OF, BUT INFREQUENT UNLESS OF COURSE, THE FIRST WILLIAM DIED YOUNG.
