General Notes: Husband - Samuel Crow


He was a native of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, his birth occurring on the old family homestead where he was reared to manhood, receiving his education in the common schools of the neighborhood. He married and they began their domestic life uon his father's old homestead, where they were living at the outbreak of the Civil war.
In 1861 Mr. Crow enlisted in Company D, 103rd P. V. I., under Capt. Joseph Hamilton, of Armstrong County, and was sworn into the United States service at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg. His first engagement was at Williamsburg, and in two years he participated in twenty-six battles and skirmishes. He re-enlisted in 1863, in the army of the Potomac, under General Casey. The year previous he had taken part in the battle of Fair Oaks, and for seven days while on the retreat the Union troops were under constant fire, but on reaching the gun boats the Rebels fell back. This was followed by the battle of Harrison's Landing, from which place the Federalists marched to Fortress Monroe, and from there to Norfolk, Virginia, where they went into winter quarters. In the spring of 1863 Mr. Crow's brigade was placed under the command of Gen. Foster, and participated in the battle of Newbern, North Carolina. They then crossed the Dismal Swamp at Whitehall, where an engagement was brought on, and they were next in the battle of Kingston, where over 1,000 prisoners were captured, and where Mr. Crow had five holes shot in his clothes. By boat his regiment proceeded to Plymouth, North Carolina, where the men did guard duty until the spring of 1864. After a four-days' fight he, with the entire brigade, was taken prisoner, and for five months he was confined in Andersonville prison, and later in Florence prison, South Carolina, for four months. He was then taken to Charleston, was paroled and sent to Annapolis, where he was granted a thirty-days' furlough, which he spent at home. On rejoining his regiment he remained in the service until after Lee's surrender, when he was honorably discharged. He resumed farming on the old family homestead, but in 1868 removed to his own farm in Porter township, Jefferson County, which he had purchased previous to the war.
After the organization of the Republican party he was one of its faithful supporters. For two terms he filled the office of supervisor, and was school director one term. Both he and his wife were members of the Zion Methodist Church of Porter township.
