Notes

• It is unlikely that the early census can determine exactly which John Cribb was which. They only list the head of household in these early censuses. John was a common name that the Cribb family often used. Almost every Cribb had a son named John and some had more than one, changing the middle name. The early Cribb family history has been passed down through Bibles and documents. Examples of the 1790 Georgetown Censuses, 3 John Cribb's and a Jonathan Cribb as head of household.^[2][3]

• I am adding some sources. For clarity Prince Georges was Winyah, the full name was Prince Georges Winyah. Often sources record the location as Prince Georges or Winyah. It bordered Prince Fredericks Parish.^[4]

John Cribb was born 29 Dec 1761 in Craven (now Georgetown) Co, SC. His Family Bible records are recorded in "Old Southern Bible Records", by Memory Aldridge Lester, published in 1974. His entry is on page 89. This record gives data on John and several of his sons, and references the "John Cribb Family Cemetery in Georgetown County". I'm sure if the dates given were from a Family Bible, or from tombstones. Since no death dates were mentioned, it looks like a family bible record was used for the births. I don't know who John Cribb's parents were but this is where I have traced the beginnings of my maternal Cribb line. I have not found any likely suspects yet.

John Cribb married Sarah --- sometime prior to 1789 in Georgetown Dist, SC. She was born ca 1755/74. I don't know what her maiden name might be. They were in Prince Frederick Parish in 1789 through 1794 when the births of three sons were recorded there (in 1789, 1790 and 1794). Prince Frederick covered a large area, so I'm not sure where this was precisely. John Cribb was listed on the 1790 census in Georgetown District, SC in Prince Frederick Parish. This census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who his neighbors were to determine if he was in present Marion or present Georgetown County. There were three Johns listed in 1790, but only this one was in Prince Frederick, the other two were in neighboring Prince George Parish. We know it was this John (1761) in Prince Frederick since he was in the records there in 1789 and 1790 and 1794. He seemed to have a fairly large family here in 1790, but most of these other apparent children were gone by 1800.

(Bef 1790) > gone by 1800 There were three John Cribbs listed in 1800, one in Marion District, and two in Georgetown District, Winyaw County (present Georgetown County). I feel fairly sure that the one listed as John "Sr" in 1800 Georgetown is the same one we are studying here (born 1761). The one in Georgetown labeled John "Jr" is the same as John Cribb (1775) son of Thomas (1731) and Ann Cribb. John Cribb "Sr" was listed between John Dozier and Margaret Rowland.

In 1810, there was only one John Cribb in Georgetown. I'm not totally sure it is John (1761) or not, as the enumerations are not a perfect match with his known family members. It is probably him though, but there is some doubt. Certain aspects of this 1810 entry more closely align with the John Cribb (Jr) (1775) entry from 1800, so that is the source of my confusion here. If this entry in 1810 is for this same John (1761), then his son Eli was not home any longer (he was 21, so could have been anywhere). His three youngest sons were all mis-enumerated, and he had an apparent daughter in 1810 who was not there in 1800. 1810 census analysis (based on available evidence): 1810 Georgetown Dist, SC pg 216 John Cribb 30101-01010 Analysis: 1 Male(s) 45 and up (bef 1765) John CRIBB (1761) s/o ? 1 Male(s) 16-25 (1784-1794) Noah CRIBB (1791) son 3 Male(s) 0-9 (1800-1810) Manual CRIBB (1794) son Stephen CRIBB (1796) son Henry CRIBB (1799) son 1 Female(s) 26-44 (1765-1784) Sarah Cribb (1765/74) wife 1 Female(s) 10-15 (1794-1800) Daughter?

I did not find John nor Sarah listed on the 1820 census. They may have moved away, or possibly they died in the 1810/20 timeframe. Their sons were still in Georgetown in 1820 and later, so it would seem likely that John and Sarah died in this time frame, as opposed to having moved away somewhere. Ben Rawls.
