I adopted this profile as it was an orphan. Lucretia (Strong) Crouch was born after the death of the person listed as her mother (Ruth Utter Crouch). Any assistance is welcome.

Lucretia is said to have been born in 1731. That is inconsistent with her reported mother's death in 1723. It is also inconsistent with her recorded marriage in 1744 (at age 13??) and the birth of her first child in 1745. I venture to suggest that Lucretia may have been born in 1723, two years after her youngest sibling Ruth, and that her mother Ruth may have died giving birth to her.

The source cited on WikiTree and elsewhere for this family is Eleanor M. Crouch's "The Crouch's." It shows up on Familysearch as copyrighted and not viewable online. That seems reasonable, since it is recent work. But no information is provided about where it might be viewed in person, or alternatively how it might be purchased.
