Surname Saturday - Crouch

On this damp & chilly Surname Saturday I thought I would continue to highlight our Crouch line.

Crouch, from the Latin crux and Middle English crouch, Old English cruc ‘cross’ (a word that was replaced in Middle English by the word cross, from Old Norse kross), is applied as a topographic name for someone who lived by a cross.

It is English in origin with one of the earliest references being made to Thomas Crouch who is listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Essex (1329).

Some of the first Crouch settlers in the states were Richard, Nicholas, and Thomas Crouch who settled in Virginia in 1623.

Our ancestor was  Jesse Crouch (b.1760 in Stafford VA) who married Mary Sarah Nance.

Their daughter, Martha "Patsy" Crouch ( b. May 1797)  married William Isaac King on 2 Aug 1819 in Washington Co. TN.

Again we see the maiden name nicely included on this monument for Jeremiah Bacon (1824 TN-1868 IL) and his wife, Susan (King) Bacon (1825 TN-1904 IL), located in Miller Cemetery, Macoupin Co., IL.

Tombstone Tuesday - Susan Sharp King - Needs Love

Time has taken it's toll on this ancestor's tombstone.

Susan Sharp was born Mar. 1756, daughter of John Sharp & Jane Hamilton.

She married Thomas King.

Susan Sharp King died 3 April 1822, in Tennessee

and is buried at New Bethel Presbyterian Church in Sullivan Co., TN

Our Family Heirloom

This quilt square comes from a quilt made by my husband's G-Grandmother, Arra Amanda Bacon Casteel. She made the quilt prior to 1900 and passed it on to her youngest son, Myron Craig Casteel. The quilt was well used and falling apart in many places. The current owner of the quilt knew I was involved in genealogy and contacted me. She told me of her idea of salvaging chosen squares to frame and give to her children. She wanted to know if I was interested in the remainder of this quilt so that I could to the same. "Heck Yeah!" The picture you see is the one we have displayed in our home. I also framed other squares and created Christmas presents for all of my husband's siblings. In the frame I included brief narrative on their Great-Grandmother and the quilt.

Arra Amanda Bacon b.Feb 1860 in Scottsville, Macoupin Co. Illinois; Daughter of Jeremiah Bacon (1824-1868) & Susan Sharp King (1825-1904) and married James Polk Casteel on Apr 1876 in Barr Township, Macoupin Co. IL.
Arra A. Casteel passed away on 10 June 1833 in Illinois.
