The reference on page 182 of the History of Clark County that husband Peter was
born and raised near Romney, WV may be an attempt to find the closest
large settlement to the Crabbottom Section of then Augusta Co., VA and later
Pendleton Co., VA\WV. It is well settled that Peter was born and raised in the
Crabbottom which is near present-day Blue Grass, Highland Co., VA.

Family group records from Patricia Crissman Bebernick on 25 Sept 1992 confirms
above information and adds substantially more data including History of
