My name is John D. Crow, I am a descendant of both the Crow and Lee families on my father's side. I began researching this information approximately 25 years ago hoping to document our families history for my 3 children and grandchildren. My original goal was to find the family connection to General Robert E. Lee. I was also very interested in trying to find a family connection to John David Crow a famous football player from Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy winner.
Starting out I only had my grandfathers death certificate, John Walter Crow. When I called Elaine Lockhart, the county clerk in Groveton, Texas I was shocked to learn that she knew who I was and knew of my father, his brothers, his sisters and my grandparents. As it turns out she went to school with them. Over the years I've received many envelopes filled with court house records and corrispondence from Elaine Lockhart. Most of the information would not have been possible had it not been for Elaine Lockhart sending me this information.
It's funny how stories are handed down over the years. I was always told that my John Walter Crow being a constable in Apple Springs was killed by someone he was trying to arrest for Boot Legging! While doing this research I discovered the truth through the Lufkin Daily News, dated Monday April 25, 1932.
I'd like to thank all the relatives who have contributed information. I would especially like to mention Melinda Gail Campbell (Lee Family #120) who supplied me with a lot of information she gathered on the Lee Family.
