Has been a resident of the same 35 years. We, as neighbors, have known him to be a man of very correct business habits, honest, truthful and punctual in his business relations and by industry, perseverance and economy has acquired a good legacy for his children for whom he felt a warm attachment, burying three, and leaving an affectionate widow and eight children, two of whom are now in the Union army, and twenty grandchildren to mourn his loss. ------------------- History of William and Hannah Moon Cruit. William and Hannah Moon Cruit are the main originators of the Ohio Cruits. The family stories are that Hannah came to America with her parents at age six to Waterford, VA. William, the story goes, crossed the Atlantic 13 times as a fisherman or sailor, lived in southern W. Va. or Virginia, was appointed to whip slaves, so he hitched a single horse to a little wagon and came north to Fairfield County, Ohio. William may have lived for a while in Waterford, VA, Loudon county. Their first son, George, was born in Washington, D.C.
