Bio
*NANCY FENDER was born 1796 in Wilkes Co., NC (in the area now named Alleghany) Died Aft. 1854. S he is believed to be buried on her farm. No marker. Lost cemetery She married JACOB A. (KRAUS) CROUSE Abt. 1812. He was born Abt. 1792 in NC. NOTES for NANCY FENDER: From the files of Carolyn Willey Spence, February 2001. Nancy was still alive in 1849 when her father Nimrod Fender wrote his Will. In it she is named as Nancy Crouse so she married a Crouse. It has been said that she and Jacob A. Crouse had at least 6 children, but there may have been many more. Nancy married Jacob A. Crouse. She is also named in Nimrod's estate settlement in 1854. From several researchers' data, we know that Nancy and her family remained in North Carolina, as they are not found in locations where other Fenders migrated. In the 1850 Ashe Co NC census there appears the household of Jacob Crouse & wife Nancy, living next to John & Christina Waggoner Crouse. Living at home in 1850 were 3 children: Susan age 18, Nancy age 16 and son Solomon age 6..... This Jacob Crouse does not appear on the 1830 or 1840 census of Ashe county, nor does he after 1850. ( John & Christina Crouse were the parents of Henry McDaniel Crouse for whom the cemetery was named.) The community of Vox, NC in Alleghany could be a clue to the mystery. A John Crows is listed in a Grayson County, VA tax list in 1799. This John Crows is thought to have had a son Jacob born about 1795, a year before Nancy Fender Crouse's birth. Their ages would fit nicely to be man & wife. The Vox community sits on the Grayson county VA-Alleghany County NC state line, and the area was known as "No Man's Land" for decades, because residents weren't exactly sure which state they lived in. This was useful in avoiding property taxes..... difficult for researchers today, because the families seem to be constantly moving across the state line from year to year. Vox is important because all the families of Vox have connections to Nimrod Fender. Fender Road leads to Vox. More research is needed to solve this mystery of Nancy Fender Crouse.
