Hello Michael Dickover:
My name is Shirley and I have a 455-Page Kier Genealogy Book in which your Great Great Grandfather Garrett Cruzan is listed.
He was once married to "Rebecca Young", with her he had one Son and 7 Grandchildren, all listed in my Book. Their Son, Benjamin Crusan was married to Mary Kier (4), who may have been the Daughter of James Kier (3) of Thomas Kier (2).
Benjamin and Mary had a Son named Garrett Crusan, Jr (5) and he was married to Eliza Jane Butt.
Garrett Crusan, Sr. married the 2nd time to Margaret Mitchell", with her he had one Son named Robert Crusan. Robert was married to a Martha Kier (3), the 2nd Child of Thomas Kier (2). They had 12 Children, two of which died in Infancy.
Thomas Kier (2) is the 4th Child of my Mother's very 1st Kier Ancestors, named Andrew and Mary Mathis Kier.
In your posted message you have said that your GG Grandmother was Leva Cruzan, daughter of Garrett and Sarah Jacobs. Would Garrettt, Jr. have married again the 2nd time???
Who is Mary Anne Cruzan married to and how would I get a Copy of Mary's Book, titled "The Cruzan Story"???
I also have a Elizabeth K. Cruzan (6) married to Herman Bertsch and they have 4 Children.
I also have a Robert Cruzan, Jr (4) married to Emily Knox with 11 Children.
I also have a Nesbitt Cruzan (5) married to a Mae Moymamont
I also have a William Sterrett Cruzan (5) married to Adessa Viola Moore with 7 Children.
I also have a Mary C. Cruzan (6) married to Walter McDonald with 6 Children.
I surely hope that you might be able to help me find all of the Cruzan Families that I have listed in my Kier Book. You can email me at
