<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Jean. <BR><BR>I was at that Crabtree Reunion but I guess I
must have missed you. I am the lady with the long family tree print-out. You
would have been welcome to write in extra names on your line as others have
done. What I have for your line is just as you describe plus the next
generation, the children of Phoebe Malinda Crabtree and George W. Arnold.
<BR><BR>1. Benton Ira Arnold<BR>2. Clinton Edward Arnold<BR>3. Cora Ester
Arnold<BR>4. Geo. Lonard Arnold<BR>5. Markest Ernest Arnold<BR>6. Nora Icle
Arnold<BR>7. Percelia Lottie Arnold<BR>8. Reta Ina Arnold<BR>9. Bertha Laura
Arnold, born 3 Feb. 1896, married Joseph Elmer Powell<BR><BR>These
are listed in alphabetical order because I don't have birth dates for them
(except for Bertha). One of them must be your grandparent. If you can add more
information to what I have, I would be grateful. Contact me off list if you
wish and we can delve deeply into conversation. I can supply you with
considerable information on earlier generations of Crabtrees and allied lines
if you want it. There is lots of interesting stuff on Rebecca Smyth's
ancestors. <BR><BR>Anne <comerslr@mindspring.com><BR><BR><BR>On Sunday,

<BLOCKQUOTE><?smaller>Anne,<?/smaller><BR> <BR><?smaller>Just had to
respond to your message to Maragret when I saw the surname Crabtree at the
beginning of your list. My maternal great-grandmother was Phoebe
Malinda Crabtree, married to George Washington Arnold. Phoebe's
parents were George Crabtree and Fairlotta "Lottie" Edgar Smallomon
Crabtree. Her grandparents were Job B Crabtree ll and Malinda Smith
Crabtree. Her great-grandparents were Job Crabtree and Rebecca
Smyth. Beyond that I am not sure. My husband and I, along with
my mother, attended the Crabtree Reunion in the town of Crabtree this past
summer. It was there I began to put together my Crabtree line. A
lot of research has been done by many on the Crabtrees and I hope someday to
get in on some of it. The reunion was so much fun and a good
start. Lately I have been spending most of my research time on the
Arnold side of the family but want to get going on the Crabtrees soon.
Would love to share information with you or anyone who is willing.<?/smaller><BR> <BR><?smaller>Jean

Brown, Lane County, about 1860<BR><BR>Hello Margaret,<BR><BR>My interest in
the Brown family is because my great-aunt Emma Annetta Smith was the
daughter of Francis Hannah Brown. Emma was a half-sister to my grandfather,
Corwin J. Smith. So the connection is not direct but I like to gather
information on peripheral lines. I have appreciated the help you have given
and similar help from others.<BR><BR>And about a Comer relationship? Sure,
but not me. It is my husband who descends from those Comers. Joseph Comer
and Elizabeth Hussey are his 5xgreat-grandparents. His line descends through
their son, Stephen.<BR><BR>My surnames: CRABTREE, POWELL, PRINE, PEEK,
HUDELSON/HUDDLESTON, RUTLEDGE, HAMILTON, DICKERSON, KITCHEL, EMPSON,
FLANARY, BOGGS, BEELER, PETRE, STALCOP, MUSGRAVE, McDONALD/MacDONNELL and
others too numerous to mention.<BR><BR>My husband's surnames: COMER, BARNUM,
