Brief summary
Richard Arnold Crabb was born in 1789 in Kings County, N.B. and died on June 12, 1867 in Maple Park, Kane County, Illinois. He was the son of Loyalist John Crabb and his wife Elizabeth Basset who fled New York on August 29, 1783 on the ship “Cyrus” and arrived in Saint John, N.B. on September 19, 1783. This family name appears also as Crabtree as indicated by one of Richard’s sons who went by the name. By 1851 no Crabb’s or Crabtree’s were recorded in Northumberland County.<br /> Several family members petitioned before the Probate Court in Dover, Maine, Piscataquis County to have the family name of Crabb changed to Crabtree, citing “The name Crabtree was the original family name” and having many relatives by that name it creates confusion by members of the same family branch to be known by different names. Some of the Loyalist Crabb families acquired land grants in Greenwich Parish, Kings County, N.B. and were recorded in the 1851 census using the abbreviated version <br /> of the name. <br /> <br /> Date of Arrival: c1827 from Kings County<br /> <br /> Area of Residence: Ludlow & North Esk Parishes<br /> Occupation: Timber contractor & Overseer of fisheries<br /> Religion: Baptist? <br /> Married: Mary Giggey/Giggie on December 25, 1808<br /> Born: <br /> Died: 1863 Kane County, Illinois<br /> <br />
