John Crumrine was born January 22, 1779 in what is now Carroll County, Md, near the present village of Melrose. Here he was married in 1803 to Barbara Fohrman. In 1810, having heard of the fertile land in Washington County, Penn. he concluded to seek a home in the then "far West". In order to make preparation for the reception of his family, then consisting of his wife and four children, he went ahead, walking the whole distance there and purchased a piece of land in West Bethlehem township, near the mouth of Daniel's Run, called in the patent "Snake Den". He walked the entire distance back to Maryland, and in 1811 accompanied by his family he started on this difficult journey. All his earthly effects were loaded into a wagon, in which there was still found room for the family. The roads were indescribably bad, and the fatigue of the trip may be imagined. With all the vigor of robust youth, he devoted himself to opening his land and supporting his family. Here twelve more children were born, making a family of sixteen. John Crumrine died January 13, 1857, having been preceded by his wife in 1850.

John Crumrine, father of subject, was born in 1785, in Baltimore county, Md., and there grew to manhood. He attended the German schools until grown, and then began his English education in the subscription school, which was held in the parsonage. When the weather was such that he could not work, he attended school but with all these obstacles in his path, he obtained a good education for that period. He married Barbara, daughter of John Ferman, and for a time lived in Baltimore county, Md., where Mary, Betsey (deceased), Susan, and Margaret (deceased), were born to them. In 1812 he removed to Washington county, Penn., and settled on Daniels run, in West Bethlehem township, part of which farm now belongs to Mrs. Julia Theakston, a sister of our subject. Here were born to him the following children: Sarah, Barbara (deceased), Julia Ann, Lucinda, Judia (deceased), Maria, George (deceased), John (deceased), William, David (deceased) and Abraham. All grew to an adult age, and the survivors all live in Washington county, with the exception of Maria, who married Demas Drake, and resides in Iowa. The father of this family was one of the rare, self-made men. Beginning life with practically nothing, he not only cared for and educated his large family, but accumulated no little of this world's goods. At the time of his death, which occurred in 1857, he was the owner of about three hundred and forty acres of land, all in a good state of cultivation.
