Message Board Post:

I am related to the Johns and Polk Families (at least) in Colleton Co. In both the 1850 and 1860 Census, I noticed there was an Elizabeth Crews living with the family of my relative Isham Johns.

In the 1850 Census, Elizabeth Crews was shown as a "sojourner" age 60 (b. 1790). The 1860 Census lists an E. Crews, age 67 (b. 1793). In the latter case, E. Crews is listed as male, but I suspect that was just a mistake. The 1860 Census lists Lucia, female, 14 yrs old, AFTER E. Crews, so I'm not sure if Lucia is a Crews relative or a Johns.

Any chance this Elizabeth Crews is the wife of Roger Crews I saw referenced in several of the posts on this board? In any case, I suspect there must be some family connection with the Johns family for Elizabeth to stay with them for this length of time.

Please let me know if you can help make any connection.

Thank you.
