Tom Wright 5-12-03 Are you still in touch with Randy Stalnaker? She sent me some material the other day that says Charles Nelson Jr., brother to Sarah Nelson, married Eleanor Crouch . If so, it looks like I need to add another Crouch to John Srs. family.

Three brothers John, James and Andrew immigrated to America in the early part of the 17th century. They were Welshmen. The brothers went from Maryland to Virginia. John was the fifth of the tomahawk settlers and had 200 acres on the confluence of the Black Fork and Shavers Fork of the Cheat River where the county seat of what is now Tucker Co., West Virginia is located. After about five years John moved 40 miles to the beautiful Tygarts Valley (Randolph County). This valley was about 50 miles long and averaged about a mile wide. John lived at the mouth of Shavers Run, below what is now the village of Huttonsville. His brother Andrew lived in the same valley in the vicinity of Haddens Fort. These families were 108 miles from the nearest settlement. In a petition to the Virginia Assembly requesting the creation of a new county, they stated they had eight large mountains to cross by Indian trails infested by Indians to attend court. The Crouch decendents inherited some of the richest land in what was then a part of Virginia. The Crouches were among the largest land owners and most prominent citizens in the valley. (Recorded from Washington County, Kentucky Bicentennial History 1792-1992)

David was about 3 when his family moved to the Tygarts Valley. His father could not settle himself to farming. After a few years he went to the Carolinas then to Yadkin in the same section with Boone, 1769-1770, before he returned to his family in Virginia. Andrew wanted to "live on the gun and the range" and as soon as it was gone he wanted to move on. He moved from Virginia to Kentucky and bought land five miles from Lexington, then moved to Burbon County and into Ohio where he died. David lived in the old Jacob Westfall's fort until David was almost grown. This was the only fort in that part of the county and was located a 2000 foot altitude on the southern border of what is now Beverly, Randolph County. In 1780 David's older brother was shot through the arm by Indians attacking commissioner meeting at their house to settle land disputes. In 1782 Indians attacked the fort and massacred a family. Some miles beyond the Westfall Fort where David lived, John Cassidy erected Cassidy Fort. Nearby David's brother Joseph built a stockade. This is probably where David met Elizabeth Cassidy. Each disastrous Indian raid encouraged settlers to leave. In the
Spring of 1787 John Cassidy left by water for Kentucky county. In the fall David and other settlers also left for Kentucky. They traveled by land through Greenbrier County and on the Holstein and Kentucky on its south side driving their stock before them. They did not ferry any reiers, there was grazing for the stock, and this was the cheapest way to go. It did not cost David $5.00. They arrived in Ky in 1788. Jonathan their first born was but two years old. David stopped awhile near Bryant's Station in Fayette County. He and his brother John were on tax lists there in 1790. By 1810 David, his large family and seven slaves were in Bourbon County. Just when
they moved to Nicholas County is not known, but David and his wife who went blind in their old age, next lived about four miles north of Sharpsburg likely living with family members. None of these young men knew how to make a living except by hunting and fishing. Elizabeth insisted he plant crops, so David became a planter. Davis's will was probated February, 1853 naming his wife and the following children. Jonathan Crouch (married a Cassidy about 1808), Sally Crouch (never married), Mary "Polly" Crouch Breckenridge (wife of Col. George of Burbon County), Jesse Crouch, Absalom Crouch (married a Sanders near Sharpsburg), Prudence "Pruda" Crouch VanArsdall, Catherine "Caty" Crouch Beam (wife of William of Nicholas County; secondly Col. William Hamilton), Nancy Crouch Henry, Letty Crouch Manacy (or Marcey), Elizabeth Crouch Cassidy (Louisa ? wife of Hiram Cassidy of Montgomery County) and Garner Crouch Goodwin.
