Pleasant C. Crenshaw Family

The progenitor of this line was Pleasant C. Crenshaw, born May 10, 1814 in South Carolina; died January 5, 1892 in Neshoba County, MS. He is buried at Neshoba Cemetery in the Neshoba Community. Pleasant Crenshaw came to Neshoba County from Kemper Co, MS. He first appears on the Kemper County Tax Lists in 1837, but is not to be found on the 1840 census. Kemper County is a burned county and the few records that exist are the spotty tax lists, which were kept in Jackson, and census records. Early Kemper tax lists place him in the Enondale Community, living near a Robert Crenshaw. Pleasant later moved to the western part of the county, near the communities of Moscow in Kemper County and House in Neshoba County. Robert Crenshaw remained in the Enondale area until after the Civil War, when he moved to Houston Co, TX. Although the 1850 Neshoba Co, MS Census lists Pleasant Crenshaw, it appears the census taker may have made an error and enumerated a portion of Kemper that bordered the county line. Neighbors of his are shown in Kemper County records. An 1853 Kemper Co, MS federal land grant indicated Pleasant Crenshaw to be "of Kemper County". And the death record of his son James Elias Crenshaw, born 1856, shows a Kemper County birthplace. By 1860 Pleasant Crenshaw had truly moved into Neshoba Co, MS. He is enumerated in the area directly west of Union, MS, which borders the Newton County line. In 1863 he purchased our ancestral family land in the Neshoba Community. There have been Crenshaw descendants living on the land since that time. (Pictured below right: F. A. Crenshaw cotton field 1943)

Pleasant Crenshaw married 1st Elizabeth Anderson, daughter of George Anderson and Sarah Ann Goss. Sarah Ann Goss had married 1st Mabin Crenshaw/Granger 1784 in Granville Co, NC. We are unsure of the exact year of Pleasant's first marriage, as a record has not been found. This is indicative of the fact that they married in Kemper County, which has burned records for that period of time. (The Anderson family was living just across the county line in Lauderdale County.) Robert Crenshaw, who trailed Pleasant into Kemper, married Elizabeth Anderson's niece Elizabeth Anderson. The younger Elizabeth was the daughter of James Madison Anderson and his 1st wife Bathsheba Hightower.

The Anderson family moved to Mississippi from Autauga Co, AL. They were discovered by this author in Autauga during an exhaustive search for Autauga Co, AL Crenshaw roots. A Pleasant & Robert Crenshaw had adjacent 1834 federal land grants in Autauga Co, AL. This writer feels relatively certain they are the same men who moved to Kemper County, MS. The land grants of the young Crenshaw men can be placed near the land grants of an older Abraham Crenshaw, who appeared on the 1840 Autauga Co, AL census. A search of his 1830 census indicated he could not have had the above young men living in his household. But, this writer found living next door (and not on any census index) a R. Crenshaw, who did have young men the correct age. A thorough search through Autauga County estate records has found a Robert Crenshaw purchasing from estates in Autauga as early as 1827. Since we know that both Pleasant & Robert Crenshaw were born in South Carolina, this author immediately began a search for a South Carolina Crenshaw family that had brothers named Abraham (b 1780-1790) & Robert (b 1770-1780). This writer found only one family that fit the bill. Abraham Crenshaw died March 8, 1807 leaving sons by the above names whose ages fit the above 1830 census data. A search of the loose estate records filed after the elder Abraham's death show that his sons named Abraham & Robert left South Carolina some time after 1820. That date is consistent with the birth year and date of the youngest suspected brother of Pleasant Crenshaw. Robert Crenshaw / Granger's 1820 Greenville Co, SC census record indicates children the age of Pleasant and the men I have long suspected to be brothers. Therefore I am pursuing further documentation to prove my theory that the Robert & Abraham Crenshaw of 1830 Autauga Co, AL were sons of Abraham Crenshaw who died in Pendleton District, SC in 1807. I am also pursuing proof that Pleasant Crenshaw is a son of Robert Crenshaw of Autauga Co, AL. There are two things that add questions to the above theory. (1) Pleasant Crenshaw, and all the men I suspect to be his brothers, indicate both their parents were born in Virginia. Robert Crenshaw's father Abraham was a resident of the County Line District of Granville Co, NC, which bordered the Virginia line. I have located him on many Granville Co, NC tax lists, but not on the lists during the Revolutionary War, when Robert would have been born. Could Abraham have moved across the line for safety during this period of time? Could this explain the Virginia birth place? Could Abraham's children have been born at the home of a Virginia relative? Or does this disprove my above theory? (2) The naming of 2 of the 3 children by Pleasant Crenshaw's first wife is eerily similar to the naming of the John Granger (Crenshaw) family of Lunenburg / Mecklenburg Co, VA and Granville Co, NC. John Granger's wife was Winifred Andrews. Pleasant named a daughter Winifred. Pleasant's oldest son Anel's name has never been explained. John Granger named a son Annanias. John Granger's son Absalom was the Absalom Crenshaw who married Mary Dodson 1792 in Granville Co, NC. They moved to the same Georgia County (Elbert) as did Sarah Ann Goss & her 1st husband Mabin Crenshaw, and used the Granger spelling for the remainder of their lives. Descendants of Absalom Granger / Crenshaw also moved to Autauga Co, AL.

This author has not been able to locate a land grant or deed for the elder Robert Crenshaw in Autauga Co, AL. Therefore my theory is that the land that the two boys (Pleasant & Robert) patented in 1834 is the land, adjacent to Abraham, that the elder Robert Crenshaw had been living on. This leads to the thought that the boys patented the land, to secure their homesteading interest, because of their father's death. The elder Robert Crenshaw is never found again by this writer. Could they have disposed of the land and moved to Mississippi following their father's death? This theory fits with their showing up on the 1837 Kemper Co, MS tax list. A thorough study of Autauga Co, AL deeds did not turn up the sale of this patented land.

Pictured to the left: Anel Darvel Crenshaw, oldest son of Pleasant C. Crenshaw & his 1st wife, Elizabeth Anderson.

Pleasant Crenshaw had three children with his first wife: Anel Darvel Crenshaw, born 1843, William born 1847; and Winifred Louisa born 1850. A. D. Crenshaw married Mary Virginia Boler 1868 in Kemper Co, MS. He lived and died in the Neshoba Community of Neshoba Co, MS and is buried near his father in Neshoba Cemetery.

Pleasant's 2nd son William is something of a mystery. He is enumerated on the 1850 & 1860 census, then disappears without a trace. There is a large stone standing vigil over an otherwise unmarked grave next to that of Pleasant Crenshaw. Rocks such as this appeared to have been used to mark some graves during the early period of the cemetery's existence. Could this be where William is spending eternity?

Winifred Louisa Crenshaw married Henry Clay Boler, son of Wesley Boler. The H. C. Boler family lived in the Neshoba Community near her brother Anel Crenshaw. They are also buried adjacent to Pleasant Crenshaw in the Neshoba Cemetery.

Pictured to the right: Mentice Dominico Crenshaw, son of Pleasant Crenshaw and his 2nd wife, Sarah Jane.

Elizabeth Crenshaw died 1850 - 1854. Pleasant Crenshaw then married Sarah Jane (maiden name unknown), who appears to be an Eakes widow. A child Mary Jane Eakes, born 1853-1854 in Alabama appeared on Pleasant's 1860 census with his new wife and the beginnings of their family together. There is a possibility that Sarah Jane was a Rayburn, as Rayburn researchers have, in their records, a Jane Porter Rayburn married to Pleasant Crenshaw. But this Jane's age and birth place do not match our Sarah Jane. The Rayburn researchers also indicate Jane Porter Rayburn's name was not Sarah Jane. Therefore there is a possibility that they have confused two different Jane Rayburn's and that our Sarah Jane really was a Rayburn. More research needs to be done on this issue.

The eldest son of Pleasant Crenshaw's 2nd marriage was James Elias Crenshaw. J. E. married neighbor Francis J. Smith and moved to Texas after Pleasant's death. The couple were granted a dismissal from New Hope Baptist Church in 1893, which could mark the date of their journey west. The first deed I have for them in Callahan Co, TX, their eventual home, is dated January 1906. They are buried at Tecumseh Cemetery in Oplin, TX.

Mentice Dominico Crenshaw was born 1857 and married Lillie Thomas Houston. He died in 1896 and is buried at Neshoba Cemetery near his father Pleasant. The youngest child of Pleasant Crenshaw was Emily Catherine "Kate" Crenshaw, who married William T. Fulton. She died 1918 and is probably in an unmarked grave in Neshoba Cemetery. Her church obituary can be read in the Neshoba Church Records section of this Web Page.

Pleasant Crenshaw was a member of the Golden Grove Masonic Lodge. That organization sustained a loss of early records due to a fire. The church in which it was housed also lost their records to the same fire. Did Pleasant Crenshaw attend this church? In 1877 a group of individuals, including one of the men (Thomas Crenshaw) I suspect to be his brother, organized a church on Pleasant's land. That church, New Hope, eventually became Neshoba Baptist Church. Pleasant Crenshaw never became a member of the church organized on his land. Yet we know him to have been a religious man. This indicates he had strong ties to another church. Was it the Baptist church in the Golden Grove community, that lost their records to fire with his Masonic Lodge? The Golden Grove Community area borders the Neshoba Community Pleasant's early land holdings possibly extended to that community. Discovering his church history could possible uncover valuable early records that document portions of Pleasant Crenshaw's life.

Another mystery is the disappearance of Sarah Jane following Pleasant's death. Some family members believe she moved to Texas with James Elias Crenshaw. But his descendants, with whom I have corresponded, have no knowledge of this. Did she remarry? Family lore also indicates that the Pleasant Crenshaw family Bible made the trek to Texas with J. E. Crenshaw.

1881, August 12 - Baptized at New Hope (Neshoba Baptist) Church
1910 Neshoba Co, MS Census, Beat 4, #117-119

Neshoba Baptist Church Records, February 1919: Mrs. Kate Fulton was born Dec. 21st 1862 and died Oct 18th 1919 was married to Mr.. Will Fulton and to this union was given four children, two of them and husband having preceeded her to the grave many years before. She united with the Crenshaw Baptist Church in early life and lived a faithful consistent member until death. Mrs.. Fulton's life was not one of Flowery beds of ease but she was a devoted wife, a loving faithful and true mother. She was greatly afflicted during her last days but like Job of old did not alter her trust in Jesus who said "Draw nigh to and he will draw nigh to thee". Therefore be it resolved that Neshoba Church has lost a true and faithful member, one who bore all her suffering with patience and Christian fortitude. Be it further resolved that a copy of this be given to the family and one read on the minutes of the church record. Signed: Mrs. M. E. Lewis, Miss Neva Harrison, Mrs. M. S. Lewis, Mrs. Mollie Houston.

"In Memory of Bro. J. P. Crenshaw"
Bro. James Pleasant Crenshaw was born December 20th, 1872 and died Jan. 31st 1936, making his 63 years, one month and eleven days old at the time of his death. He joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Old Crenshaw, now Neshoba Church, forty or more years ago. He was a faithful and consistent member of this church until his death. He was married Nov. 22 1900 to Miss Lucy Bassett and to this union were born ten boys and two girls. Two of the boys died in early childhood. The boys now living are Earle and Noel, now living in Texas, J. P. of Smith County, Hubby, Earnest, Otho, Maurice and Rudolph of this county. The girls are Queenie, now Mrs. Johnie Miles of Neshoba and Lucile, now Mrs. Leotis Thomas. Neshoba Church never had a more faithful member and Neshoba Community never had a truer and more valuable citizen than Plez as he was to friends. Though we know that his going was to his eternal gain we as a church and community are experiencing a feeling of distinct loss. May the Savior in whose footsteps our brother and friend endeavored to follow during his lifetime, be our guide and comforter now. Loyal and honest, brave and true. Cheerful and broad of mind. Strong for the tasks he has to do; Patient, considerate, kind. And life will hold and always will, Unto the journey's end, Such posts as there for his to fill, Brother, Neighbor, friend. The lives of many each must touch, So varied is life's Plan. We seldom realize how much It takes, just to be a man. Committee: W. J. Houston, M. S. Lewis, B. H. Walton.

He served with distinction as a combat soldier in France until he was severely gassed in 1918. He never fully recovered from these wounds. Colen joined the Baptist Church at Bluff Springs early in life and at his death was a member of the church a Neshoba. To know Colen was to love and appreciate him and he leaves many friends to mourn his going. Then God saw fit to take him within his garden fair. He placed him with the others Already gathered there. His time on earth was ended. But still he lingers near. His suffering days are over. May God wipe away all tears. Committee: T. O. GULLY, Miss Margie D. VIVERETT, Mrs. R. B. VANCE.
