What a great start the year has already given us. I have been in contact with many over the internet and we have been collecting information from all sources so I could share with you and give you more information that you can fill in areas on your family tree. Several have written to express their joy in having a newsletter to share information and learn from their heritage. I have one family from New York that truly isn't a direct line, but a "new" line, which is exciting on its own.
Let me encourage you to complete the form in the center of this edition, copy it as many times as needed and fill it out with as many families in your line as you can remember. Without your help this newsletter will dwindle for lack of information and support. However, with your help, we will survive and become a source of information for all to look toward in completing their family heritage.
By the way, when I began this newsletter my family files were very full, but I have found that contacting so many new friends, my research had only scratched the surface. I am looking forward to getting a better and more fuller picture of the Crye/Cry family in the South, North, and even out West.
Thank you, to each of you, again for your encouragement and help
in researching our name.

Records located on the "net" give reference to Crye families in Cleburne Co. Ark. Land records show John Crye, wife Dora, children, Ida, Berdie, Gencie, and Allie. John was awarded 80 acres August 18, 1890. A Joseph Crye in Faulkner Co. Ark, received 40 acres 4/14/1897. No comments about children. -------------------------------------------------
I do not have access to these records, but understand there is
a book that this extract is from. If someone would look these records
up, using the page numbers we could possibly have access to another family,
or at least one that has been a dead end for some.

In the last newsletter I printed the following will. Not knowing if you might have the old copy on hand, I wanted to seek your opinion. Reading this will, I find at the end it lists the executers. The very first few names are Sister Sarah and Jacob Ormond. Would you take this to mean that Sarah was wife of Jacob Ormond? Would he have listed her as Sarah Crye and Jacob Ormond?
Samuel Crye. July 31, 1803, probated in January 1804 Court by Samuel Adams. Being sick and weak, I give to my sister Sarah half of the land left to me by my father, all my household and kitchen furniture, and my feather bed and furniture, and to my brother John I give my rifle gun and wearing apparel. It is my will that my two horses, plantation tools, a loom and a table, and all other articles not mentioned, be sold and the proceeds used to pay my debts with any residue going to my sister Sarah. Exrs: Sister Sarah and Jacob Ormond. Wit: Samuel Adams, John Thompson, and Shared Gray. Isaac Alexander, CMC.
Take a close look at the writing and send me your thoughts.
Maybe we should look for Jacob Ormond and a marriage to a Sarah Crye.
Being as it was probated in 1804 no records of wives names appeared until
1850, however we may find a Sarah Ormond in the area. If you have
access to the Census for NC, Mecklenburg County 1810-1850 could someone
look this up for me?
Thank you for your input.

Here it is, the next issue and the questionnaire that I said I
would be sending for all to fill out. You can make plenty of copies
to complete your family tree that you are aware of. Please take the
time to work on these and send them to me. I have heard from many
of you, so I know you will want each line as complete as possible.
Thank you for your time.
Dear Ms. Green,
I enjoyed your newsletter a lot. Keep
'em coming, it was so interesting. If you have a few more left, could
you please send three of them out to my sons and ex-husband? Please
add them to your mailing list as they would enjoy them like I did.
Ms. Crye
Ms. Green:
It is good to hear
from you and yes, I did get your post. I do have a question.
Does anyone have any information on our relationship to the "tribe of dog"
of the Cherokee Nation? My grandmother passed away when I was 7 years
old and she was the only one I know of who may have been able to really
tell the connection. My wife also has Cherokee blood from the "tribe
of coon", however this connection seems lost too.
I am really looking forward to the next newsletter,
you are doing a great job!. If I can be of any help, I will try to
do what I can. Oh yes, are there any Crye's left on the Isle of Mann?
I was talking to an O'Malley who said that the people of Mann were either
fisherman or pirates, I wonder which our ancestors were?
