CARPENTER, George W. Nov. 27, 1843 June 20, 1903 SSW: Hettie A. - Research Note: Newton Co. History: George W. Carpenter, farmer and dealer in stock, was born near Pisgah, Cooper Co., Mo., November 27, 1843, and is the son of Samuel and Sally (Langley) Carpenter, former of whom was a native of Kentucky and moved to Missouri, where he married. The grandfather, Samuel Carpenter, was a black-smith by trade. The subject of this sketch was reared to his father’s business, that of farming, and followed this occupation until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he enlisted in the Missouri State Guard and served six months, after which he returned to farming in Cooper County and Pettis County, Mo. While in the latter county he married Miss Hettie Ann Pulley, a native of Missouri, whose parents were natives of the same State. In 1870 Mr. Carpenter came to Newtonia Township, where he purchased his present farm, and where he has remained ever since. He now owns 580 acres, located in four different farms. To his marriage were born four sons and two daughters: Jennie Lee, Robert S., William T., James O., Annie M. and Richard H. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter are worthy members of the Baptist Church, and he has frequently been a member of the school board of his district. He is quite extensively engaged in the rearing of Shorthorn Durham cattle. History

It was William Erwin Crumley who murdered his uncle in Georgia. John's father, William Erwin Crumley, shot and killed his uncle John Crumley sometime in 1857 in Gordon Co., GA. In Jan 1858, the government of Georgia posted a $100 reward for the return or capture of the fugitive, William Erwin Crumley. Fannin Co., Georgia newspaper, "In Fannin County, recently, John Crumbly was murdered by William Erwin Crumbly." January 18, 1858. The Governor of GA put up a $100 reward in January of 1858 for the return of the fugitive, William Ervin Crumley. Thomas and family moved to Barry Co., MO around 1857 or 1858 and probably the move was to get William out of state and to avoid prosecution. William's wife, Margaret Witzel Crumley, stayed in GA with her parents and moved to Barry Co., MO sometime after 1880. She is listed on the 1900 census living two doors away from her son, John E. and his family.

Research Note: Susan is thought to have been a full-blooded Cherokee, born in Spartanburg, SC. Family thinks that she and Thomas are buried in unmarked graves here at Mt. Olive. She and her husband came to Barry County from Habersham Co., GA, and before that they had lived in Bumcombe Co., NC. Her maiden name was possibly Terrell. - Thomas Charles Crumley married Susan Crumley about 1825. The maiden name of Susan Crumley is not known; but, records indicate that she may have been part Cherokee Indian. This is where the Cherokee Indian relatives come into the family. This information comes to us via "The Haddock Family of Barry County Missouri". Thomas and Susan appear to have had one son, Samual Crumley, who lived next to them in Barry County, Missouri. Thomas and Susan had moved to Missouri from Georgia sometime between 1857 and 1859, according to the Federal Census. An order of goods were purchased from a Joseph Newman, Wholesaler, Retailer, Dealer of Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Hats, Caps, and Gents Furnishings, Commercial Street, Pierce City, Missouri, by either Thomas Crumley or John Crumley around the time of Thomas' death.
