The letters and portions of other
documents on these pages were written to and by Leander F.
Crumley and his family members, or contracted with his
descendents, during a period from 1853 until 1910.
Leander was my gggrandfather and
lived in Habersham and White Counties. He, his brother and
brothers-in-law enlisted in the Confederate army when the
"Tories" invaded. (Yes, at one point, the Union army
was referred to as "Tories".) Leander never saw much
battle and died at home while on leave from the effects of
starvation and dysentery on March 30, 1863.
Leander's youngest son,
Warren, moved his family to the Oglethorpe and Clarke County
area with hopes of finding a better life after being
unsuccessful in the mountainous area of White County. He
became a sharecropper for the infamous Jim Smith in hopes of
having a better life. To a degree, this was realized, but he
never had the farm he had hoped for. Most of Warren's
descendents settled in Madison County with a few in Clarke.
These letters and papers were
handed down to Warren's daughter, my Great Aunt Lou Crumley.
She was an old maid, and from her, the letters ended up with her
nephew Leonard Kirk. It was through his and his son's generosity
that I obtained a copy of these letters. I first transcribed
them in the mid 1980s by typewriter. In 1997, I was at it again
on my desktop computer.
I have transcribed these letters
as close to the originals in wording, spelling (or should I say,
misspelling), and punctuation as possible. I hope you enjoy
reading them and using them for reference materials as much as I
have enjoyed transcribing them.
