T. L. CROW was born near Sanford, Lincoln Co., Ky., March 31, 1845, and is
the sixth son of James and Permelia T. (Carter) Crow.  James Crow was born
in Boyle County, Ky., near Danville, April 24, 1801.  He left Boyle County
and moved to Lincoln County in 1843, served eight years as sheriff of
Lincoln County, was a deacon in the Christian Church for fifty years, was,
when the war commenced, one of the largest land owners in the county, dealt
largely in mules, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., and died at his old home in
Lincoln County, August 2, 1885.  Permelia Crow was born in Virginia and
died in 1854.  T. L. Crow's paternal grandfather, Andrew Lewis Crow, was
born in Alabama, and married Margaret Montgomery, February 21, 1799,
daughter of Gen. Montgomery, of Revolutionary fame.  T. L. Crow was reared
on a farm in Lincoln County.  In 1862 he joined Gen. John H. Morgan's
command, Company B, Sixth Kentucky Cavalry, J. Warren Grigsby, colonel;
Thomas H. Shanks, captain, and W. P. Crow, first lieutenant.  T. L. Crow
was in the noted battles of Perryville, Ky., Murfreesboro, Tenn., Talbott's
Woods, Ky., and fought from Talbott's Woods to Barboursville [sic] in the
mountains of Kentucky.  He was an active scout in the winter of 1863, and
was engaged in numerous picket fights.  He was also engaged in the hard
fought battles of Snow's Hill and Milton, Tenn.; was captured near
Columbia, Ky., in 1864, and held as a prisoner till [sic] the close of
the war.  He then returned to his old home in Lincoln County, which was
then infested with horse thieves.  A large number of horses were taken
from the county, and their owners dared not pursue farther than Hall's Gap,
on the outskirts of the mountains.  His father's horses were stolen and
T. L., fresh from the war and full of courage, determined at all hazards
to capture horses and thieves, started in company with Robert Purdum in
pursuit of the thieves, and, after eighteen days' pursuit of the thieves,
returned with the horses and one of the thieves of the most celebrated
band in the State and thus broke up the gang.  May 7, 1874, he married
Helen A. Reed, of Kalamazoo, Mich., daughter of D. C. and Eliza A. (Munn)
Reed.  Helen A. was born in Genesee County, N. Y.  Four children have
blessed this union, three living, viz.: George P., Anna L. and Metta B.
Mr. Crow and wife are members of the Christian Church.  He owns 201 1/2
acres in Lee District, two miles south of Nicholasville, on the Mount
Freedom Turnpike.
