Brad McCall — Thu, 20 May 2010 07:00:32 +0000

The following is a rough table showing the pedigree for my maternal McCall family starting with my Great Grandmother Etoyl Montgomery who married Robert Lee McCall in 1920.

The links that are located below their names are to the individual blog posts I’ve made. Since I’ve been focusing primarily on the paternal sides of every family, you’ll typically only find links for them.

Charles C. Crawley (1830-1884) – A Historical Timeline

Brad McCall — Thu, 06 May 2010 05:50:35 +0000

Charles C. Crawley is my 3rd Great Grandfather (GGG) though his daughter Levicia Ellen (Crawley) Montgomery. It’s been a while since I created a timeline from scratch for one of my relatives, and I’ve got to remember clearer how I pulled together all the pieces. That aside, I think this one might be a little rough around the edges, or missing a few pieces.

While working on this timeline I discovered something I didn’t know before, and thus the reason to create the timelines in the first place. While looking to see the exact location where Charles Crawley’s wife Martha Jane (Aubry) Crawley was buried, I thought to look at Find A Grave’s website. Luckily, they had a photo of her grave. I also noticed that they had quite a bit of information included for people buried in this cemetery along-side the grave photos, so I thought to see if there were other Crawleys buried there. I ended up finding her daughter (Which gave me exact birth, death dates and marriage). I also found another possible relative – a daughter of a Crawley who married a Lofland – that I’ll have to figure out who it is.

Here is the timeline I’ve put together for Charles C. Crawley as it stands now:

Charles C. and Martha Jane Crawley – Family Photos

Brad McCall — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:00:45 +0000

I believe in miracles, how ever small they may be. While corresponding with Rick Lawrence, an online researcher I had connected with through genealogy.com on my Crawley family, I witnessed one. He mentioned receiving some scans of photographs of my 3rd Great Grandparents Charles C. Crawley and Martha Jane Aubrey from some connections in Austin, Texas. (Janie Parrish?) The owner of the photos had found the picture of Martha quite comical as it looked as though she was holding a cigar in her hand.

When Rick forwarded the pictures to me, I touched them up a bit and sent them back, and kept thinking that the picture of Charles looked quite familiar. I looked back through the old photocopies that my mother had made from my Great Grandparents collection, and there it was staring me in the face… the unlabeled match to the picture I had just received by email. It was slightly different, as though it had been taken a moment before or after the previous one, but it was surely a match. A little miracle.

And for future reference, it was a not a cigar at all. As I retouched the photo, what appeared to be a cigar between Martha’s fingers was actually the spine of the family bible. In one of my other family photos of this time-period I’ve noticed the wife with the family bible in hand. Perhaps this was a traditional thing? It sure does change your perception on Martha versus the cigar, doesn’t it?

Charles C. Crawley (1830-1884) – Cemetery Photo

Brad McCall — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:08:33 +0000

I was looking through some of my things recently and ran across some pictures that an internet friend (Rick Lawrence) had sent me. In addition to telling me great stories passed on from his mother about my Montgomery relatives, we swapped much information on the Crawley side of my family. Charles C. Crawley is my 3rd Great Grandfather and the mother of Levicia Ellen Crawley who married Dr. Thomas Marion Montgomery in 1892.

Rick took this photo in Parks Cemetery, Nola, Scott County, Arkansas and sent it to me by mail. I’ve cropped in a close-up to see the name better in the second photo. Here’s what he said about finding the grave: “I began searching the Crawley line in 1999. I had no idea who they were, where they were buried, etc. Many of the Yates’ are buried in Scott County at Parks Cemetery, a mile from the Yell County line. In May 2000, I was down there for Decoration Day and was searching for some unmarked graves of my Yates ancestors (which I found!!!). Nancy Crawley Yates is buried there as well. I surmised that since the Yates’ and the Crawleys were basically neighbors, that Chas and Martha must be in that cemetery as well. However, I never searched for them as I was busy with the Yates search. I was standing amongst a group of headstones looking around the cemetery when i looked down at the stone I was next to…and lo and behold it was Chas. C. Crawley! His daughter Ida was one space over from him. I now decorate his and Ida’s grave on Decoration Day…probably the first to do so in over 50 years.” – Rick “Guns” Lawrence

Dr. Tom and Ellen Montgomery – Family Photo

Brad McCall — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 06:10:01 +0000

This is an old photo that I acquired through a distant relative. It was tightly glued in a tattered old photo album that my Great-Grandma McCall (Etoyl Montgomery McCall) kept by her bedside. Even though the photo was unlabeled in the album, I recognized this as a photo of her parents. My guess would be that this was their first “family” photo taken about 1894. I would assume that the child on Ellen’s lap is Sybil, their first daughter.

Thomas Marion Montgomery, Dr.
Birth – 9 Sep 1873, Harmontown, Lafayette, Mississippi
Death – 24 Dec 1961, Stayton, Marion, Oregon

Levicia Ellen Crawley
Marriage – 22 Nov 1892, Gravelly Hill, Yell County, Arkansas
Birth – 9 Mar 1874, Gravelly, Yell, Arkansas
Death – 8 Jan 1961, Stayton, Marion, Oregon

For more information on their family, review the Family Group Record I have posted for them.
