THE STORY AS I KNOW IT

Most of the following information came from The Simon Crowell Family by Judith Jo Linenfelser. Documentation is added where it is known.

Simon Crowell was born in 1732 perhaps in Germany or perhaps in Pennsylvania. His parents were Peter Crowell or Craul and Catherine maybe Denver according to Rosala Curtis at  sister.curtis@sk.sympatico.ca  Both Peter and Catherine were probably born in Germany and immigrated about 1740 into Pennsylvania. The family moved to North Carolina before 1763. Peter’s will is filed in Mecklenburg County NC in that October of that year.

Simon Crowell married Elizabeth last name unknown about 1760 probably in Mecklenburg County. They had several children including:
1. Benjamin Crowell born June 12, 1776 in Mecklenburg Ct. wed Elizabeth Moore. He was an early settler of Caldwell County, Kentucky. He died Dec. 13, 1853 Crittenden Ct. KY
2. William Crowell born 1780 in Mecklenburg Ct wed Nellie Smith
3. Charles Crowell .

The Mecklenburg Ct. NC. Deed Abstracts 1763-1779, page 290-291 include a sale August 14, 1765 of 200 acres by Simon and Betty Crowell.

The Index to the North Carolina 1810 Census in Mecklenburg on page 502 includes the family of Simon Crowell.

Various Websties give Simon’s date of death as 1838 and 1827. They all agree he died in North Carolina.

A lot of fill in needs to be done to get a complete picture of Simon
