John W. was born ca 1808 in VA and died after 1880. He was married, we think, to Elizabeth Unknown first and then to Lucy Jane who was born ca 1825 in TN. The only child by his first marriage was Elizabeth Jane born Aug 16, 1837 near Memphis, TN. Children by the second marriage appear to be Isabella, Jamima, James S, Emma G and William H. born in Virginia before 1850. However, I find John W. on the 1850 Haywood Co., TN census with Jane, spouse, Elizabeth, Isabella, Jamima, James and William (1 month old). Other children born to the second marriage are Ellen A., George W., Martha J, John W., Charles Allen and Virginia Lee Forrest Crowder all born in MS between 1854 and 1864. These appear on the MS census 1860. In 1870 Census, 4 year old Richard is added. In the 1880 census, the family minus John W. appear in Hamilton Co., TX. There are 7 children still living with Luch J, James age 34, William H age 30, George W age 26, John W age 21, Vhstlrd shr 18, Virginia L. F. age 16 and Robert age 12.
