Question:

Looking for info on Charity Crumpston born 1857 in Massac Co IL.?


Believe her to be the grand daughter of Samuel Rawson.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: She is living with him in 1860:

1860; Census Place: Township 15 S Range 5 E, Massac, Illinois; Roll: M653_209; Page: 806; Image: 11.

Name Age
Samuel Rowson 65
Suson Ramson 59
Sarah Ann Cumpston 8
Samuel Cumpston 5
Charity Cumpston 3
Amy Rowson 18
Thomas Rowson 20
Samuel Rowson 21
William Davis 13


The Illinois Marriages site
http://www.ilsos.gov/genealogymweb/marri...
doesn't have any Cumpston / Crumpston marriages.

She is with him in 1870, too:

1870; Census Place: Township 15 Range 5, Massac, Illinois; Roll: M593_255; Page: 272; Image: 549.

Rawson, Samuel 74, Penn
----, Biddy Ann, 40, Ala
Cumpston, Charity, 13, Ill
Powell, Ellen, 22, farm hand, Ill
Biggs, Lohama, 45, Ala (f)


Biddy Ann marries KENNEDY, JEFFERSON in 1871, according to the Ill Marr.

Now the question is, who was Charity's father and mother? She might be a cousin or niece, not grand daughter.

I can't find Samuel in the 1850.

Samuel is on one RWWC data base,

"Sue" there cites the 1870 Massac census. You might compare notes with her, unless that's your data.

Sorry. Perhaps someone more skilled than I will find her for you.
