• Notes

  John Crowell John was born about 1770 at Frederick Co., MD. He died before 15 Sept 1840 when his will was probated at Clearfield Co., PA. John married 15 September 1792 at Frederick Co., MD to Susanna Dargar/Dagan/Dagin b. 1776 d. after 1850 at Clearfield Co., PA. Again here the "supposed" Bible was totally wrong. There was no reference to this John in Franklin Co., VA. The John found in Franklin Co., was the son of Michael as seen earlier in this history. Susanna is most likely the daughter of George Dagan/Dagin. George Danan sold a piece of land on 13 April 1796 to Adam Kline who also purchased land from John Crowell Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book WR 9 p. 166. George Dagin can also be found on the 1820 Census of Frederick Co., MD born before 1775 with many children (1820 Census Roll 43 p. 147). Several deeds related to John and Susanna were found in Frederick Co., MD. On 5 May 1791 John Crowell sold to Hugh Hagan, land called Willimas Neglect containing 30 and 1/4 acres which he had received from his father Henry Crowel (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book WR 10 pp. 60 and 61). Then on 21 May 1791 Hugh Hagen sold the same tract of land containing 30 and 1/4 acres called Williams Neglect originally owned by Henry Crowell late of Frederick Co. to Valentine Rinehard. On the same day Henry Crowell conveyed his shared of this property to Hugh Hagan for 40 pounds. On 24 March 1792 John sold to Abraham Pepple part of a tract of land containing 232 acres called Bare Garden which had been the property of Henry Crowell, deceased. On the same day John Crowell transferred to Margaret Crowell, his mother, a tract of land called "Potatoe Ridge" containing 96 acres part of Bare Garden in response to her transferring her share in Bare Garden (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book WR 10 p. 531) to John which he sold to Abraham Pepple (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book WR 10, pp. 532 and 533). Brother Devault had previously transferred his share of this property to John Cooper on 18 October 1790 (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book 9 p. 517). John Crowell, cooper, purchased on 6 April 1792 from John Radish, a tract of land called "Potatoe Ridge" originally being part of a tract of land called "Sink Hole", for 400 pounds (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed BookWR 10 pp. 632 and 633). On that same date on page 633 of this deed, Margaret Crowell signed a Bill of Sale for two feather beds, 1 kettle and all her household furniture for 50 pounds current money to John Crowell. She is called the widow of Henry Crowell. Then on 7 Nov 1793 Margareta/Margaret Crowell transferred the piece of land referred to as "Potatoe Ridge" to John Crowell containing 232 acres in return for 18 pounds specie yearly for her maintenance. John then sold this land to Abraham Pepple. In all probability Margaret moved in with John and Susanna. She may have died in Frederick Co., MD and then John and Susanna and family moved to Clearfield Co., or Margaret may have moved with them to Clearfield Co., PA dying there. The last record of John Crowell in Frederick Co., is on 11 June 1794 when he sells 2 1/4 more or less acreage called "Potatoe Ridge" to Adam Kline, blacksmith. Wife Susanna released her Dower rights. John Crowell is listed as of Clearfield Co., PA when he sells a piece of ground in Emittsburg to Abraham J. Emit in 1806 (Frederick County, MD Land Records, Deed Book WR 35 p.121) . John purchased a piece of land in Clearfield Co., PA consisting of 206 acres for $618.00 on 4 Oct 1805. John is listed in taxables of Clearfield Co. in 1806 (Clearfield County - Present and Past p. 37 (This was Chinklacamoose Twps. Center County). Letters of administration were granted on 15 September 1840 to sons, Dennis and Daniel per John's will dated 13 June 1834. There is an Amos Crowell who appears on the 1840 Census of Clearfield Co., living near Basil. Is he a son not listed in John's will? He leaves Clearfield Co. after the 1840 Census.
