David Crews was born in 1742 to David Crew and Mary Stanley. A birthright Quaker, David Crews would leave that faith to join the militia and fight for a young nation’s freedom from France and later England. About 1760 he married his step-sister Annie Magee. This second volume in the Metes & Bounds Series traces not only their ancestry and childhoods, but their move to Bedford County, Virginia, and eventually Boonesborough, Kentucky, where David became one of the wealthiest planters in Madison County. The book includes histories and descendant listings of David and Annie’s children, as well as David’s children by second wife Mildred Williford-Carlew.

 

Included are family group sheets, documents, photographs, maps, and personal histories on many of his descendants. Originally published in 1993, this 2nd edition has a new typeface, an improved numbering system, and an updated foreword by the author.
