There was no listing of a Vaughan m. to an Alice Crabb or an Anne Crabb m. to a Joseph Adlam or Oldam in the Somerset or Gloucestershire IGI. The records may be in the parish registers, many of which have not been added to the IGI. Brislington Parish, just outside Bristol in Somerset Co., is sometimes mistakenly called Buslington Parish.
The above two generations came from the family sheets loaned by Pat Donaldson of Georgetown, Oh., in Dec. of 1990 which prob. Came from (Boddie v1 p144). Donna Adamson of Grand Island, NE., send information on this line 5/1991. Jean Mower had more on this family in the Jan 1981 "Crabb Network". Jean found the information in "Breazeales of Va. and SC: by Walter Weston Folger. Folger listed his sources as the Temple Parish registers of Bristol, Eng., the Great Orphan Book, the Book of Wills of Somerset Co., Eng., and the book Living Descendants Blood Royal Vol. II and III. Folger claimed that the Crabb family was wealthy enough to afford a house on the bridge over the Avon r. in Bristol.
Richard Crabb was admitted to the freedom of Bristol, Eng., 2/3/1630/31, and he became a master weaver on 4/1/1630. Richard’s son Osmond was admitted to the freedom of Bristol as a son of Richard Crabb on 8/4/1676.
Osmond Crabb of Brislington, Somerset, England, the brother of the above john Crabb, wrote a will 12/8/1684, pro. 4/3/1695, that mentioned debts and burial expenses to be paid out of legacies to brother John, a merchant in Va. The will referred to Osmond’s sisters, Alice Vaughan and Anne Adlam, and niece Ann Adlam, but no children. Anne was the wife of Joseph Adlam of Brislington. The will gave brother John in Va. The legacies after the life of sister Anne and niece Ann Adlam. Brother John was also to receive houses in Bristol and the parish of Bedminister, Somerset. Osmond’s apparel was to go to brother john (Va. Mag. of Hist. v20 p293-294, Some Emigrants to Virginia, and Bodie).
David Thayer of Coralville, Ia., sent more data on this fam. Line 7/1993. He noted that a Richard, son of Richard Crabb of Bristol, clothier, was bound to his father to serve four years in Barbados, 5/10/1655. A Thomas Gibbin of Axbridge, Somerset, was bound to Richard Crabb to serve four years in Va. 10/30/1657, and on 9/5/1658, Edward Moody of Salisbury, Wiltshire, was bound to Richard Crabb of Bristol, Clothier, to serve four years (Coldham p289, 363 and 393). Also, an Osmond Crabb had 10 apprenticed to him between 1661 and 1670; six were sent to Va. and the other four to Nevis (Coldham p8, 12,13,27,31,76,165,167, and 274).
