Hi! I added text to the companion category for your name study (Category:Crowe Name Study). Feel free to edit it. The default for the template is to add the main category, but you can add a line to have a different category. See the ONS template page for details. Give me a holler if you have any questions about categorization.

I also created a redirect, so Project:Crowe (the link for the button from the Crowe surname page) brings you to this page.

Cheers, Liz

Johann Gottfried Kroh (b: 29 Feb 1728) arrived from the Rhine, Palainate area of Germany to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in Sep 1751 aboard the ship Edinburgh and joined the German farming community in Berks County (probably indentured). He Americanized his name to Crow (one of his sons, Michael, later changed it to Crowe).

Johann belonged to the German Reformed Church and Lutheran Church. He married twice in Pennsylvania. His first wife was Elizabeth German and they had one daughter, Catharina Elizabeth Kroh (b:1764) in Bern Township. It is believed that Elizabeth died shortly after child birth. His second wife, Barbara Heberling, and he had eleven children.

He farmed in Pennsylvania, both in Bern Township, Berks County and in Northumberland County. About 1792, he then moved his family to new farm land in Harrison County, Kentucky probably through the Cumberland Gap.

Johann finally moved (about 1799) with most of his family members to St. Charles, Missouri, part of Spanish Louisiana, and were granted farm lands near the Cuivre River. Many of the sons and daughters were granted farm land in the area. Johann died 15 Jan 1810 in St. Charles County.

Some Crow family members and their spouses (Zumwalts) braved the Oregon Trail to the Oregon Territory's Willamette Valley to farm in the 1850s.
