We resurrected this site because we didn't want the years of work by Gloria Crumpler Vester and her fellow Crumpler researchers simply to be lost. Nobody maintained it for many years, so a lot of its links had stopped working. We have pointed them to archived copies where any exist and marked the rest; if you spot something we missed, please tell us.
All of the family information has been carried over to our family history site, including a separate tree for Gloria's own database: Gloria Crumpler Vester's Crumpler Database · The Lucies Family History Site.
Please take the site for what it is: a slice of history, from the days of the rotary telephone, the daily newspaper and polite politics. — HMDP

Well as family legend has it (and I've heard this from two separate lines of the family that go wayyyy back), my CRUMPLEY line was CRUMPLER at one time. Somebody got killed over a possession of a mule and my line hightailed it out of Dodge, changing the spelling of their name in the process. My Eli CRUMPLEY (1790 in NC - ) married Cynthia DeVAUGHAN (b NC), their son, James M. (6-1822 TN) married a Mary Jane REYNOLDS. I've seen quite a bit of information on the DeVAUGHANs but nothing on the REYNOLDS. James moved around quite a bit, a few counties in Tennessee, then a few counties in Missouri (ending up in Lafayette County), he possibly remarried there. Sure would appreciate any CRUMPLEY and allied line help.
