If you can help, please reply below. Help! I am a Historian and need the first name of A.Blackmon Crumpler, a Methodist preacher from Clinton, NC. (1863-1952)I have heard that it is either Ambrose or Abner. Please help. Vinson Synan Surnames: A. Blackmon Crumpler (1863-1952) To the best of my knowledge, his name was Abner, not Ambrose. I don't have any documents to prove that, but all research, and all researchers notes have him listed as Abner. Hope this helps. A late answer to Dr Synan's question, for anyone who finds this page. Our family tree has him as Abner Blackman Crumpler, born 9 June 1864 near Clinton, Sampson County, North Carolina, and died 23 October 1952 in Clinton. He was the son of George Washington Crumpler and Margaret LaFayette Crumpler, and married Lillie Jane Underwood in 1886. He is buried in Springvale Cemetery, Clinton. He is the A. B. Crumpler who left the Methodist church to lead the Holiness movement in North Carolina, the beginnings of today's Pentecostal Holiness Church. His page: https://lordoflucies.com/tng/getperson.php?tree=Walsh&personID=I602073406 Gloria's answer of Abner agrees with most published accounts, including Wikipedia's article on the International Pentecostal Holiness Church. But NCpedia calls him Ambrose B. Crumpler (1863-1952), so the published sources still disagree, and they also differ on whether he was born in 1863 or 1864. His death certificate or gravestone should settle both questions. If anyone has a copy of either, we would love to see it. Craig Walsh Reply to this conversation |
