| Notes |
- Added 29 Oct 2026 from Gloria Crumpler Vester's Crumpler database (crumpler.org, 1999). Her record, with any relatives not copied here, is in the Gloria tree on this site (person I12516). Not yet connected to the rest of this tree: if you know where this family fits, please tell us.
- Robert's birth date, 9 February 1847, is on his gravestone and agrees with every census (1870, 1880 and 1910 all give 1847). It clashes with the 16 March 1847 on his brother Wiley's gravestone: two children of the same mother cannot be born five weeks apart. Wiley's own records disagree with one another (1849 in the 1870 and 1880 censuses, March 1847 in 1900, 1848 in 1910 and on his death certificate), so Wiley's date is the more doubtful one; he was probably born in 1848 or 1849. This is an inference, not proof. (A Robert Crumpler aged 5 is listed in the 1850 census of Wayne County in the household of James Farehand; it is not known whether he is this Robert.)
- Asked about on the old crumpler.org forum in 1999 by Cindy Stevens, who gave his dates from his death certificate (born 9 Feb 1847, died 22 Mar 1920) and his parents as Garrie Crumpler and 'Cecily Watson'; Randy Rhodes, his great-great-grandson, added that Garry and Alsey were buried in a field on Campground Road outside Selma.
