Early Crabtree History
The following is an excerpt from The Name and Family of Crabtree, Compliled by The Media Research Bureau, Washington D.C. The document Characterize James and William Crabtree along with other Crabtree's of West Virginia and Kentucky (Abt 1775) as belonging to a band of woodsman known as, "'longhunters,' who hunted throughout the forests of West Virginia and Kentucky, roaming in groups of two or three men each. These woodsmen were highly instrumental in making those territories safe for the early settlers" (p. 5).
"Not particularly distinguished in public affairs, the Crabtree family of America has, nevertheless, been known, on the whole, for its honesty, stubborn courage, determination of purpose, and perspicacity (wisdom). Some lines have also been characterized by their interest and ability in scientific fields of endeavor.... In the records of the colonial forces in the Revolutionary War are found the names of Abraham, Jacob, and James, of Virginia; Isaac Crabtree of Tennessee, William Crabtree of Massachusetts. (p 6-7)
