I would like to express my appreciation to Paul Frost who provided much of the information on the early generations of this family.
JOHANNES CRUMBACH1, son of Johannes and Maria Margaretha (Voltz) Grumbach, was baptized on 2 Jan 1706 [IGI (1988)] at Boebingen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. He died after 26 Sep 1764.
Johannes Crumbach married Maria Catharina Voltz. Catharina was
born abt 1705 and died on 11 Nov 1741. Johannes arrived at
Philadephia, Pennsylvania, aboard the Britannia on September 26,
1764, with his son Conrath. Although this father-son relationship
has not been proven evidence indicates that it is correct.

Conrad arrived at Philadephia aboard the ship Britannia on September 26, 1764, with his father. He later moved to Frederick County, Maryland. Conrad appears in the records of St. Peter's Church, Rocky Hill; and the Moncacy Church of Frederick Co., Maryland, and its successor church, the Lutheran Church of Frederick Town. In December 1790 he purchased two tracts in Frederick Co., Maryland, "Crumbaugh's Chance" 60 acres and "Lock's Chance" 11 acres.

Mrs. Letta B. Stone visited the old homestead in 1925 and saw
what remained of the farmhouse. It was of ample dimensions, two
stories high, with dormer windows, a central staircase and two
enormous stone chimneys at the ends of the house. These stones
had been cut by hand from rock cliffs on the farm and were so
perfect that no cement was used in the building of a new house
for which these chimneys were torn down. [Stone, Letta B. The
West Family Register, 1928, pp. 184]
Solomon's will was dated December 24, 1852, and probated in

HEINRICH, better known as HENRY CRUMBAUGH3 (Johann Conrad2, Johannes1), son of Johann Conrad and Anna Margaretha (Seideman) Crumbaugh, was born on 18 Apr 1789 at Frederick Co., Maryland. He died on 22 Oct 1877 at LeRoy, McLean Co., Illinois. He was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
Henry married Sarah Baldock in Apr 1820. Sarah was born in 1802
and died on 2 Feb 1885. She, too, is buried at Oak Grove
Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois. Henry received
his schooling at Frederick County, Maryland, very much as other
boys did. He was very skillful in boxing and wrestling, and while
between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one, he never found his
match. In the year 1810 he moved to Kentucky. During the winter
of 1819 he started from Frankfort, Kentucky, to New Orleans, with
four flatboats, with freight belonging to Col. Johnson. He made
the trip down the river in ten days, but was made very sick by
drinking the river water. He received for his pay two hundred
dollars for each boat. He returned on horseback through the
Indian territory, and passed over land belonging to the Chocktaws
and Chickasaws. They treated him with the greatest kindness. He
moved his family to Elkhart Grove, in Sangamon County, Illinois,
in 1828, and to Buckles' Grove, McLean County, in March, 1830,
and settled on the land south of present day LeRoy, Illinois. He
had many adventures on what was then the frontier. He was about
six feet in height. In his younger days he was very strong. He
sometimes liked to attend a horserace, but never was carried away
by such sport. He was, in his younger days, a man of steady
nerve, a good hunter and an accurate shot. [Duis, E. The Good Old
Times in McLean County, Illinois, 1874, pages 547-550]

DANIEL CRUMBAUGH3 (Johann Conrad2, Johannes1), son of Johann Conrad and Anna Margaretha (Seideman) Crumbaugh, was born on 7 Dec 1791 at Frederick Co., Maryland. He died on 19 May 1874. He is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
Daniel married Susan Winters in 1816 at Scott, Kentucky. Susan,
daughter of Jacob Winters, died in 1823. She is buried in Scott
Co., Kentucky.
Daniel married Martha Mitchell Robinson on 18 Jan 1825 at
Georgetown, Kentucky. Martha was born on 19 Aug 1805 at North
Carolina. She died on 4 Jun 1857. She is buried at Oak Grove
Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
Daniel received a little schooling in Frederick County, Maryland,
"but not enough to hurt him." He used to assist the
scholars in barring out the schoolmaster on Christmas days. At
one time they compelled the teacher to give them two weeks'
vacation, but he compelled the parents to pay him for these two
weeks as if school had been in session, and some of the scholars
came pretty near "catching it" from their angry fathers
in consequence. In 1812 Mr. Crumbaugh came west to Cincinnati,
and from there went to Scott County, Kentucky. In 1813 he
enlisted in the army under the command of Colonel Richard M.
Johnson to fight against the British and Indians. He went first
to Fort Meigs on the Miami Rapids above where Toledo now stands,
where General Harrison has a garrison. From there they went to
Lower Sandusky on Lake Erie, then back home to recruit their
horse. They were then sent to Kaskaskia, Illinois. This town was
threatened by Indians, and it seemed that the place which was
afterwards to be the first capital of the Sucker State was to be
blotted out entirely. But the Indians were headed off, and the
regiment to which Mr. Crumbaugh belonged was sent back to Fort
Meigs. While there they heard the roar of the guns during the
battle when Commodore Perry gained his celebrated victory over
the British on Lake Erie. Shortly after this they went to
Detroit, crossed over to Windsor (then called Sandwich) and
followed the British and Indians under the Command of General
Proctor and the chief Tecumseh. At the River Thames the enemy
made a stand and here was fought the battle which practically
closed the contest in the north. The enemy was completely
defeated, with the loss of baggage and eight hundred prisoners
and a large number of killed and wounded. Tecumseh was among the
slain. It has been a matter of speculation as to who killed him.
Mr. Crumbaugh can shed no light upon it. Col. R.M. Johnson, the
commander of the regiment, was wounded five times. The muskets
used by the Americans in this battle were the old flintlocks, and
the cartridges contained a ball and two buck-shot. The regiment
opposed to the one in which Mr. Crumbaugh served was the
Forty-fourth Irish regiment, commanded by Colonel Baubee. When
the battle was over, the company to which Mr. Crumbaugh belonged
was sent as a guard for General Harrison and the captured British
officers, down to Lake St. Clair where they took shipping and
came to Detroit. There they remained until Harrison made a treaty
with some tribes of Indians, and then returned home to
Georgetown, Kentucky. There Mr. Crumbaugh lived a
rough-and-tumble life for some years. In 1828 he moved to Elkhart
Grove in Sangamon County, and on the sixth of March, 1830, he
moved to Buckles' Grove, McLean County, Illinois, where he lived
the rest of his life. He was six feet and four inches in height.

MONTGOMERY "BUCK" CRUMBAUGH4 (Solomon3, Johann
Conrad2, Johannes1), son of Solomon and Mary (Winters) Crumbaugh,
was born on 4 Jun 1813 at Scott Co., Kentucky [West Family
Register @184]. He died on 15 Jul 1880 at McLean Co., Illinois,
and is buried at Gilmore Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co.,
Illinois [West Family Register @184].
Montgomery married Mary Anne West on 8 Jul 1841 [West Family
Register @184]. Mary, daughter of Henry and Mary (Liter) West,
was born on 12 Nov 1824 at Bourbon Co., Kentucky [West Family
Register @184]. She died on 3 Nov 1861 at McLean Co., Illinois
[West Family Register @184], and is buried at Gilmore Cemetery,
Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois. Montgomery was very large
and very "dressy," as his sister-in-law, Martha
Hedrick, said, and was called "Uncle Bucky" by his
young relatives.
He was an old bachelor when he was married to Mary Anne West, who was just sixteen. He had been brought up in a household of amplitude where even the drinking cups were of solid silver and these cups, a silver tea service and many dozens of silver spoons of various sizes are in the possession of relatives today. However, due to an ill will between Montgomery and his father, all he ever received from his parents was a feather bed, which his mother secretly slipped out of a window to him.
After Montgomery and Mary had been married three months, they moved to Illinois in a two-horse wagon. They settled three and a half miles south of LeRoy in McLean County and entered land in Empire Township, McLean County. He bought the log cabin standing on the property and the family lived there until they were able to make improvements. Their homestead was in Section 31, Empire Township (250 N 2495 E) on the south side of the road. They owned 80 acres in Section 31 and 60 acres in Section 32. The house burned down and there is little evidence of the homestead now. So little did Montgomery think of the value of farm land in that day that at one time, when land was about fifteen dollars an acre, Mr. Crumbaugh kept fifteen hundred dollars in the bank rather than lose it by investment in cheap land. Seventy-five years later that same land sold for $300 an acre. During the Civil War Montgomery was Empire Township Supervisor from 1861-1862.

JAMES HENRY LYON CRUMBAUGH4 (Henry3, Johann Conrad2, Johannes1), son of Henry and Sarah (Baldock) Crumbaugh, was born on 1 May 1826 at Henderson Co., Kentucky. He died on 6 Mar 1904 and is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
James married Amanda Melcena Buck on 28 Sep 1851 at McLean Co.,
Illinois [County Record Index]. Amanda, daughter of , was born on
10 Jul 1828 at Switzerland, Indiana. She died on 8 Mar 1926 and
is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co.,
Illinois.
When James Crumbaugh was two years old his father moved to Springfield, Illinois, and afterwards to Elkhart Grove. There the family remained two years and then came to Buckles' Grove, McLean Co., Illinois. He received his early education at the Claywater school, which was kept about one mile south of the present town of Leroy. He went four miles to school to receive instruction from William Johnson, who, when barred out, treated his scholars to whisky and made them intoxicated. Mr. Crumbaugh afterwards went to the first school in Leroy, and his wife attended the same. His teacher was 'Squire Lincoln. In 1840 Mr. Crumbaugh had an opportunity to go to Chicago, which was then a town of thirty-five hundred people. Old Fort Dearborn, the block house and the palisades were still standing. Mr. Crumbaugh went on his first wolf hunt when he was only nine years of age. His father caught wolves in a pen with a lid to it. When the wolf came to eat the bait placed there for him, it touched the trigger, which let down the log and held him in the pen. Mr. Crumbaugh has often chased wolves and caught them. When they are chased in the winter time, they take to the ice on the creeks and loughs. Mr. Crumbaugh has seen a wolf follow a slough in all its angles and turns and get quite away from the dogs, for it had longer claws and was lighter built. Mr. Crumbaugh's wife was a school-mate of her husband in the days when they were young. After their marriage they lived with Henry Crumbaugh until 1857, when they moved to a farm about three miles southwest of Leroy in Empire township. Mr. Crumbaugh is five feet and ten inches high.

Lewis married Rachel Belle Travis on 22 Nov 1866. Rachel was born
on 11 Feb 1845 and died on 13 Feb 1944. She is buried at Oak
Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
Lewis whose father, Henry Crumbaugh, was a great cattle man,
spent his boyhood summers herding cattle and his winters feeding
them. They used an "old Virginia Wagon" which was made
entirely out of wood and built out wide over the wheels so it
would hold 150 bushels of corn. Every night they would round up
the cattle and put them in the "poind" to keep them
from the wolves, and many times Mr. Crumbaugh shot both wolves
and deer on the prairie. On Sunday it was a regular chore to salt
the cattle in the morning and in the afternoon he would ride
horseback to the Brittin schoolhouse where Sunday school was
held. At that time there were only four houses between Old Town
and the Mackinaw timber near Colfax, a distance of 15 miles. He
married Miss Rachel Travis of Indian Grove, south of Fairbury. At
the time there were only two buggies in this part of the county,
so he borrowed one to bring home his bride. He had to get his
license in Pontiac. It rained and snowed and froze and it took

Leonard married Sarah Margaret Wiley on 25 Sep 1856 at McLean
Co., Illinois [County Record Index]. In 1830 Leonard Crumbaugh
moved to Buckles Grove south of LeRoy with his parents and helped
them build a log cabin home. He attended Subscription School in
the vicinity, walking 4 miles there and back. He lived at home
working on the farm until he was 28 years old when he was
married. Leonard Crumbaugh belonged to the Universalist Church
and was one of its staunch supporters. He was a Jeffersonian
Democrat and voted first in 1852 for Franklin Pierce. After
homesteading land at $l.25 an acre 6 miles east of LeRoy, he was
appointed the first school trustee of West Township. He also
served as a school director for 27 years. While living on the
farm, he raised cattle, hogs, sheep and wheat. He made several
trips a year to Chicago, taking stock and wheat. He sold his
wheat for 50 cents a bushel (a big price in those days). He would
camp out and cook his own meals on his trips to and from Chicago,
and he would bring back salt, leather and groceries. In those
days, he had to drive 40 miles to a mill to grind his flour and
his feed. He took lots of pride in his farm home. He had a neat
residence, good barns and buildings, a beautiful orchard and
well-fenced fields. He was one of the first farmers in his
vicinity to tile his farm and build fences other than rail
fences. Leonard Crumbaugh moved to LeRoy in 1882. He organized
the Citizen's Bank in Le Roy. After a while, he took his brother
Thomas Crumbaugh and a Mr. Bonnett in as partners. Mr. Bonnett
sold out to the brothers very soon, but the two brothers operated
the bank as long as they lived. In later years, Leonard was a
stockholder in the First National Bank of Bloomington and in the
Building and Loan Association in LeRoy and was its treasurer as
long as he lived. He belonged to the Odd Fellows and the Knights
of Pythias Lodges. He was very energetic, industrious and
systematic in business. In later life he developed diabetes and
heart trouble, and after visiting downtown the afternoon of
September 1, 1900, died in his sleep that night at the age of 71
years.

JAMES THOMAS CRUMBAUGH4 (Daniel3, Johann Conrad2, Johannes1), son of Daniel and Martha Mitchell (Robinson) Crumbaugh, was born on 24 Jan 1832 at Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois. He died on 3 Apr 1905. He is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois.
He married Elizabeth Jane Wiley on 13 Sep 1862 at Empire
Township, McLean Co., Illinois. Elizabeth was born on 13 Nov
1840. She died on 24 Jan 1906 and is buried at Oak Grove
Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean Co., Illinois. Mr. and Mrs.
James Thomas Crumbaugh were originally members of the LeRoy
Universalist Church whose minister was the Rev. Carney, who later
embraced Spiritualism. Through Rev. Carney the Crumbaughs became
interested in the teachings and practices of the Spiritualist.
The Crumbaughs' only child was a son born July 2, 1865. The child
called "Bright Eyes" died August 20, 1865. The sorrow
the parents felt after the death of their baby prompted their
desire for possible contact with the unseen Spiritual World about
the well-being of their child. Records reveal that through a
medium contact was made with the Spiritual World.
After the death of Mr. and Mrs. Crumbaugh (1905 and 1906
respectively) their will expressed the desire for the creation of
a living memorial through the building of a church and library.
All property and management was to be cared for through the
estate, governed by the trustees. The J. T. and E. J. Crumbaugh
Memorial Church structure was completed in 1926 at a cost of
$60,000. The old Crumbaugh home west of the library now stands as
the parsonage. [The LeRoy Bi-Centennial Commission, Heritage of
