Pennsylvania Families

The Mt Union Cemetery transcription lists a birth date for Nicholas Crum, but without a source for the information. There is a photo of the tombstone. All but the death date is unreadable.

His 1850 and 1860 censuses point to a birth year of 1795. In 1850 his information said he was born in Pennsylvania. In 1860 it said Maryland. The death of his youngest son Nicholas says that Nicholas (Sr) was born in Pennsylvania. The 1880 census information for his children Mary Ann, Susan, and Moses say he was born in Pa. The 1900 census for Moses also says that Nicholas was born in Pa.
