I am the son of George Washington Crouch, a brother to your mother, Linda Morgan. Our grandfather was John Wesley Crouch and our grandmother was Elizabeth Kidd and when my father was eight yeas of age our grandfather moved his family to the state of Missouri, that being in the year 1841. He purchased a farm out there on a river bottom, or some low land, and soon thereafter they developed Malaria, or some low form of fever, and both our grandparents died (there seven days difference in their deaths) and one Uncle Aaron, who was 13 years of age, Uncle David was then 18 years of age and with the help of some good people sold the farm at the end of two years and they came back. The number of children 10, a little baby girl died after coming across the Mississippi River and they buried it in the state of Illinois. The children all came back to this country, after the lapse of two years, in the same ox wagon that they went off in and one more. My father told me that he rode along in front of that slow moving ox wagon with a large stone jug and begged milk, both kinds and poured it into that jug so they could have plenty of milk when they pitched for the night; begged bread and meat as well. They allowed their oxen to browse and graze at night around their camps. They had a dog and rifle and they would kill squirrels, rabbits and other game on their way, as game was plentiful. The trip took three weeks. After paying Doctor and funeral bills they had no money left and at that time they only had State Money and could not pass Missouri money in Illinouis, nor Illinois money in Kentucky, etc; had to rid themselves of all State money when they came to the state line, and often the exchangers charged extra for the change. After their return to this country, the near relatives took charge of them; no two living together. They were so full of that low-land Malaria that they were sickly for two or three years. I am glad that I had the opportunity of seeing them all, though they have all been dead for a number of years. Their names were as follows: (not in order of ages, but to the best of memory) David Fulton, married twice. Martha Patsy Kidd, married James Kidd, Sallie Buck married Timothy Buck, in Wayne County, Kentucky. Mary Jones - husband Alfred Jones, Barren County, kentucky. Elisa Crabtree - husband, Stokely Crabtree, Fentress County, Tennessee. Margaret Crouch - husband, James Redman, Fentress County, Tennessee, Linda Morgan - husband, John Morgan - don't know where he was from nor how they ever met. I have seen both of them. Elias Henderson - married twice. George Washington Crouch, my father, married three times. I am the son of his second wife, Milly Dishman. I have two brothers, Tom and Joe and one sister, Lucinda Barton, all living and doing well. Our uncles and Aunts were of the very best and highest types of people, good and upright, nothing dirty about them. All were very religious and strict members of the church, and from the history I have of all of the Crouches and Kidds they were of a high class fo people, being the first settlers of the Wolf Creek section of Fentress County, Tennessee. They emigrated to this country from the state fo Virginia and were of German descent. The original name being Kroch. I was born and raised here at Forbus (Travisville) up till 25 years ago. I graduated in medicine in March 1893, been in active practice for a long period of 46 years. I am now 67 years of age and am yet active and in fairly good health. I am located half way between Albany, Ky. and Jamestown, Tenn. There were four Doctors here when I began to practice. They are all dead but me. I am the only Doctor in this county, about 14 miles to Jamestown and about the same distance to Byrdstown and Albany. The roads are all made good and can fill all calls very quickly and comfortably. I have a good office and well equipped with drugs and surgical appliances and do a good office practice. Our children are all married off and living to themselves. All in good health and well educated. Just wife and myself at home and one hired man to do the work about the house and to drive me out, etc. Wife is much younger than me and is in good health. I am a christian and a member of the Methodist Church, strictly temperate and not a "New Dealer". I am mighty glad to receive your letter and hope to have an opportunity to see you and other "cousins" in the near future. I am busy all the time, hardly have time to take off for a rest, which I would greatly enjoy. I take trips to the city hospitals with my emergency cased, but always have to hurry back to my practice. Would be glad to run up to your place and spend a couple of days. Give my best regards to your brothers and sisters. Write again - I am Sincerely yours, Dr. A. H.
