Fourth child of Whitaker Crabtree and ???
William D. Crabtree
b. ca. 1818 in Tennessee,
d. 11-23-1880 in Grayson Co. TX.
Married, ca. 1839 Newton Co. MO.
-------------------------Notes---------------------------
This family moved to Greenville Hunt Co. Tx. about 1859 by wagon train and lived near Whitaker Crabtree, and later moved on to Grayson
Co. Tx.
Rebecca moved with her father after the 1830 census and possibly after her mother Mary Lee's death to Newton Co. Mo. Whitaker Crabtree who was with
William and Mary in Jackson CO. Tn. and in Washington Co. Il. in 1830 moved his family also, and Rebecca married his son, a second cousin my mother always thought. They were living near the older families in the 1840 census,
by 1850 they had 3 daughters and 1 son. Her sister Ruth was living with them
at the time. About 1859 they moved to Greenville, Hunt Co. Tx. where Malinda
had already settled. There they lived near Whitaker and his family. William
father of Rebecca might have died as not other trace of him has been found.
Rebecca and William moved their family of 2 sons, and 4 daughters to Grayson
Co. Tx. where other Crabtree's, old Ike's descendents as my mother called them
had settled. Rebecca was dead by the 1880 census. William D. died Nov. 23, 1880 in Grayson Co. Tx. The Crabtree neighbors here were Thomas, Juda, Mark
& Permelia, Elihu, Delila, Wesley G. & Mary, Reese & Mary, and Whitaker
age 71 from Va. and James & Mary. Most of them gave Tn. or Mo. as their birth
State. Most of the men served in the Civil War along with their young sons.
