In 1820 Solomon, Henry and Daniel Crumbaugh are listed on the census record. These three men are brothers from Frederick County, Maryland. Solomon remained in Scott County, Kentucky until his death. Henry and Daniel moved further west to McLean County, Illinois

Solomon Crumbaugh, son of Johann Conrad and Anna Margaretha Seideman Crumbaugh, was born on November 3, 1779 in Frederick County, Maryland. He died on October 6, 1853 in Scott County, Kentucky. Solomon married Mary Winters on December 13, 1804. Mary, apparently the daughter of Jacob Winters, was born in 1781 and died on May 20, 1865. They lived on a farm two or three miles from Georgetown, Kentucky, where he had a saw and grist mill and cheese factory. 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)

Montgomery "Buck" born on June 4, 1813 in Scott County, Kentucky. He died on July 15, 1880 in McLean
County, Illinois and is buried at Gilmore Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean County, Illinois. Montgomery
married Mary Anne West on July 8, 1841, daughter of Henry and Mary Liter West. Mary Anne was born on
November 12, 1824 in Bourbon County, Kentucky. She died on November 3, 1861 in McLean County and is
buried at Gilmore Cemetery with her husband. Montgomery was a very large and 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 married Mary Anne West, who was just sixteen. He had been brought up in a household of amplitude,
where the drinking cups were of solid silver and these cups, tea service and many dozens of silver spoons
are in possession of relatives today. However, due to an ill will 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 about 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 (250N 2495E) 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 on 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.

Heinrich Crumbaugh, better known as Henry, son of Johann Conrad and Anna Margaretha Seideman Crumbaugh, was born on April 18, 1789 in Frederick County, Maryland. He died on October 22, 1877 at LeRoy, McLean County, Illinois and was buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean County, Illinois. Henry married Sarah Baldock in April 1820. Sarah was born in 1802 and died on February 2, 1885. She, too, is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean County, 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 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 Colonel 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. Henry moved his family to Elkhart Grove, in Sangamon County, Illinois in 1828 and to Buckles' Grove, McLean County, in March of 1830 and settled on the land south of present day LeRoy, Illinois. Henry had many adventures on what was then the frontier. He was about six feet in height. In his younger days he was very strong, a man of steady nerve, a good hunter and an accurate shot. He sometimes liked to attend a horserace, but never was carried away by such sport.

one mile south of the present town of LeRoy. James went four miles to school to receive instruction from William Johnson,
who, when barred out, treated his scholars to whiskey 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 James had an opportunity
to go to Chicago, which was then a town to thirty-five hundred people. Old Fort Dearborn, the block house and the palisades
were still standing. He went on his first wolf hunt when eh was only nine years of age. His father caught wolves in a pen with
a lid. When the wolf came to eat the bait placed there for him, he touched the trigger, which let down the log and held him in
the pin. He often chased wolves and caught them. When they are chased in the winter, they take to the ice on the creeks
and loughs. His wife was a school-mate in the days when they were young. After their marriage the lived with Henry

in a two-room house built near his father. Lewis bought his first table at a sale for 25 cents. Rachel was born

Daniel Crumbaugh, son of Johann Conrad and Anna Margaretha Seideman Crumbaugh, was a big man standing 6 foot 4 inches tall. He was born on December 7, 1791 in Frederick County, Maryland. He died on May 19, 1874 and is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean County, Illinois. Daniel married Susan Winters in 1816 in Scott County. She was the daughter of Jacob Winters. Susan died in 1823 and is buried in Scott County, Kentucky. Daniel married second Martha Mitchell Robinson on January 18, 1825 at Georgetown in Scott County, Kentucky. Martha was born on August 19, 1805 in North Carolina. She died on January 4, 1857 and is buried with Daniel at Oak Grove Cemetery, Empire Township, McLean County, 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 day. 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 1812, Daniel Crumbaugh came west to Cincinnati, Ohio 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 had a garrison. From there they went to Lower Sandusky on Lake Erie the 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 firs capital of the Sucker State was to be blotted out entirely. But the Indians were headed off and the regiment to which Daniel belonged was sent back to Fort Meigs. While there they heard the roar of the guns during the battle of Commodore Perry gained his celebrated victory over the British on Lake Erie. Shortly after this they went to Detroit, crossed over to Windson (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. Daniel could 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 the battle were the old flintlocks and the cartridges contained a ball and two buck-shot. The regiment opposed to the one in which Daniel 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, Illinois and on the sixth of March 1830, he moved to Buckles' Grove, McLean County, Illinois, where he lived the rest of his life.
