It has came into my possession- a very old scrapbook filled with newspaper clippings on deaths, marriages and other newsy items. Some loose but most glued to the pages of an old book called
Manual of Geography. I can't be 100% sure but I'd say Hannah Ellen McClure Eyre is who made and kept this scrapbook of family History. I can place many names but some must be related to them
via her husband's line and some must be just friends or people they knew. One lady, who's obit is in there was born over 200 years ago and all the info in the book, I believe is well over 100
years old and dated before 1904. Also many many handwritten old recipes are in the book. I plan to scan the entire book and share the scans with those who would love to have the information. In
some cases, just a few, I could part with the original loose obituary or news clipping. Hannah's mother is Mary Todhunter McClure, a 1st cousin of Abner Jr.. I was so hoping an obit of my great
great great grandfather Abner Todhunter Sr (died 1871) would have been in the book. I was not so lucky. Abner Jr. died 1917, out-lived Hannah so he was lucky in that case but I still would love
to have his obit. Maybe others have old obits in scrapbooks somewhere and have not shared them? I hope to pass the book to one of Hannah's direct relatives and am not sure how it got to
California or out of her family's possession. If you copy any information or request a scan please send a note of thanks to the wonderful woman who did not trash this book of family history but
saved a genealogical treasure and passed it to me. I know she'd be tickled to hear from you. She is - Judy Ketner - Birdxing@aol.com

John married Catherine CRUMLEY about 1793 in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Catherine was born on 18 Dec 1766; died on 23 Dec 1857 in Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

THE CRUMLEY FAMILY
http://www.his.com/*pnichols/crumley.html
The name Crumley is thought to be derived from the Irish Cromlaoich, which would translate literally to _descendant of bent hero._[1] Very few Crumleys (or variants Crumly, Cromley, Crumbley)
were in the United States before 1800.[2] James Crumley was among the Quakers who settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, in the early eighteenth century. A Valentine Crumley came to
Philadelphia in 1749 from Germany and settled in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The Crumleys in Sullivan County, Tennessee, were descended from another German immigrant, George Crumley (who may
have been related to Valentine Crumley).[3] The ancestry of most of the 20 or so Crumley families in the United States at the time of the first census in 1790 can be traced to one of these
immigrants. Two hundred years later, the number of American Crumleys has grown to about 5000-6000.[4] This account of the Crumley family traces a single line of descendants from the immigrant
James Crumley through eight generations to Melissa Ann Crumley, wife of Paul Leslie Nichols.
