[or-roots] CRABTREE (was Silas Brown)

[Don & Anne Comer]

Hi Jean.

I was at that Crabtree Reunion but I guess I must have missed you.  I am 
the lady with the long family tree print-out.  You would have been 
welcome to write in extra names on your line as others have done.  What 
I have for your line is just as you describe plus the next generation, 
the children of Phoebe Malinda Crabtree and George W. Arnold.

1. Benton Ira Arnold
2. Clinton Edward Arnold
3. Cora Ester Arnold
4. Geo. Lonard Arnold
5. Markest Ernest Arnold
6. Nora Icle Arnold
7. Percelia Lottie Arnold
8. Reta Ina Arnold
9. Bertha Laura Arnold, born 3 Feb. 1896, married Joseph Elmer Powell

These are listed in alphabetical order because I don't have birth dates 
for them (except for Bertha).   One of them must be your grandparent.  
If you can add more information to what I have, I would be grateful.  
Contact me off list if you wish and we can delve deeply into 
conversation.   I can supply you with considerable information on 
earlier generations of Crabtrees and allied lines if you want it.  There 
is lots of interesting stuff on Rebecca Smyth's ancestors.
