[Note: the birth and death dates for this John Crumb are erroneous; he actually died in 1865 in Michigan (per Findagrave, in Mount Green Cemetery, Jackson, Michigan). Another John Crumb (whose wife was Hulda Parsons) was the one who died on 18 July (actually in 1887, not 1889). That John Crumb and his family lived in Little Valley, Catteraugus County, New York, and can be found in several census records there.]
