Notes:

Married:
Discussion: According to the 1900 U.S. Federal Census this couple wasonly married 25 years, and would mean that the children who were bornbefore c.1875 A.D. must be from a previous marriage of Robert N.Crowell. Of course, more research would be required in order toferret out the truth one way or another. SLJuhl RNBSC, Compiler &Family Genealogist; sljuhl1234@yahoo.com

NOTE: William Crowell was in two units probably. The firstConfederate unit, 48th Virginia Infantry, mustered out of WashingtonCounty, September 1861, near Abingdon, Virginia. The secondConfederate unit he was in, the 54th Virginia Infantry, he joinedsometime after May 1862 probably after the battle of Gettysburg.Sometime between May of 1862 to before the 1870 Census he must havedied either in the war or possibly right after the Civil War, becauseby the 1870 census Mary A. Crowell is living with her son James D.Crowell in Washington County, Virginia and William Crowell cannot befound in the census records. HIS SON ROBERT N.
