Submitted on Wed May 19 12:14:41 EDT 1999 CROWSON (CROUSON)Looking for information regarding the family of Hightower and Julia Elizabeth CROWSON,who I believe were born in Giles County, TN. They had twelve children, and I am specifically interested in their 7th child, a son named James who was born in 1842. The three youngest children were born in Guntown, MS but the older ones may have been born in Giles County between 1832 and 1842.
Hightower was born c. 1802, the eldest son of William and Gilly
Crowson. He is the grandson of William and Mary Thomas Crowson.
This William was a soldier in the Revolutionary War and died when his
children were young, around 1814, in Giles County. I would greatly
appreciate any information anyone might have.
