Surnames: CORLEY, CROW, CROWE, DICKEN, DICKENS, WESTERFIELD
I am researching my Ancestors, some of which lived in Daviess; Ohio; and Hancock Co's., KY. I Have some info on CORLEY; CROW; CROWE; DICKEN; DICKENS; and WESTERFIELD Surnames: Where I am stuck against a brick wall is my
ggrandfather; CROW(E); Charles William and his wife CORLEY; Sarah Bashaba. I believe that ggf. Charles William; lived; married; and died in or around Hawesville, Hancock, Co., KY and Whitesville, Daviess Co., KY. He is buried in the Roseville Cemetery. CROW); IN, KY, MT?. From what I understand, this was the original spelling; either Charles William or his father; added the (E) to CROW(E). He was supposed to have been a full-blooded CROW Indian, and
added the "E"; in hopes he could get a job in a coal mine; with the spelling of a white man's name. One of our ancestors was supposed to have been a Scout for the U.S. Army about the time of "Little Big Horn" era; they called
him "Charlie"; also it has been said that this ancestor had loaded his family into a Covered Wagon and traveled EAST whereas the White Man was traveling WEST. (I have not been able to verify this however.) f. CROWE, Lee Roy, b. 21 Jan 1909 in McCutchanville, Vanderburgh Co., IN; d. 18 Sep 1980
in Sierra Vista, Cochise Co., AZ. m. 14 Dec 1934 to MASTERS, Mildred Juanita (26 Mar 1915 - 18 Mar 1946) in Indianapolis, Marion Co., IN. gf. CROWE, Elva Green, b. 15 Mar 1884 in Whitesville, Daviess Co., KY. d. 27 May 1963 in

Any information on anyone here or who to contact for info will be greatly appreciated. How may I obtain address for Cemeteries in the
area? Especially Corley Stinnet; Roseville; and Rosehill Cemeteries. Thanking you in advance.
