  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.

    Anne,

    Just had to respond to your message to Maragret when I saw the surname Crabtree at the beginning of your list.  My maternal great-grandmother was Phoebe Malinda Crabtree, married to George Washington Arnold.  Phoebe's parents were George Crabtree and Fairlotta "Lottie" Edgar Smallomon Crabtree.  Her grandparents were Job B Crabtree ll and Malinda Smith Crabtree.  Her great-grandparents were Job Crabtree and Rebecca Smyth.  Beyond that I am not sure.  My husband and I, along with my mother, attended the Crabtree Reunion in the town of Crabtree this past summer.  It was there I began to put together my Crabtree line.  A lot of research has been done by many on the Crabtrees and I hope someday to get in on some of it.  The reunion was so much fun and a good start.  Lately I have been spending most of my research time on the Arnold side of the family but want to get going on the Crabtrees soon.  Would love to share information with you or anyone who is willing.

    Jean Raabe

    Hello Margaret,

    My interest in the Brown family is because my great-aunt Emma Annetta Smith was the daughter of Francis Hannah Brown. Emma was a half-sister to my grandfather, Corwin J. Smith. So the connection is not direct but I like to gather information on peripheral lines. I have appreciated the help you have given and similar help from others.

    And about a Comer relationship? Sure, but not me. It is my husband who descends from those Comers. Joseph Comer and Elizabeth Hussey are his 5xgreat-grandparents. His line descends through their son, Stephen.

    My surnames: CRABTREE, POWELL, PRINE, PEEK, HUDELSON/HUDDLESTON, RUTLEDGE, HAMILTON, DICKERSON, KITCHEL, EMPSON, FLANARY, BOGGS, BEELER, PETRE, STALCOP, MUSGRAVE, McDONALD/MacDONNELL and others too numerous to mention.

    My husband's surnames: COMER, BARNUM, ROBINSON, HOLMES, SHUGART, BOATRIGHT, ENSIGN

    Anne Hudelson Comer
