- Updated 31 Oct 2026. Gloria's entry followed the family record as it stood in 1999, which listed two brothers here: Joseph (born 1841, died at Cartersville, SC, married Maggie Lett) and Josiah B. (born about 1847). That 1841 Joseph goes back to an error first made in the 1970s and copied into many family trees since. Stewart Crumpler has shown that they are one man. No Joseph born 1841 is in John S. Crumpler's household in the 1850 census; the only Joe is Josiah B., born 1847, who appears under that name at Bonnetsville in 1850, 1860 and 1870 and afterwards as Joseph Blackman Crumpler. The separate 1841 Joseph has therefore been removed. The Cartersville death belongs to this man, but the marriage to Maggie Lett has not been confirmed; his Find a Grave memorial gives his wife as Augusta Vermel Carter.
He enlisted in the Confederate Army at Fayetteville, NC, on 10 Jun 1864, aged 17, and served to the end of the war. He married Augusta Vermel Carter, lived at Cartersville, SC, where he was appointed postmaster on 28 Oct 1872, and died at the Infirmary for Confederate Veterans in Columbia, SC, on 26 Jul 1914.

| Notes |
- Updated 31 Oct 2026. Gloria's entry followed the family record as it stood in 1999, which listed a son Joseph, born 1841, as the eldest child. That 1841 Joseph goes back to an error first made in the 1970s and copied into many family trees since. Stewart Crumpler has shown that he was the same person as Josiah B. (Joseph Blackman Crumpler, born 1847), so he has been removed from this family.
