JEFFREYS – CREWS FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
(click on map to enlarge)
Map showing locations of related families in the Creedmoor, Granville County, North Carolina area. Note the BRAGG’S and LYON’S Crossroads. Also see the farms of Minnie CREWS Green (Mama Green) and Rufus & Florence JEFFREYS, which was later owned by son Frank Jeffreys. Rufus and Florence Jeffreys family moved to a home in Creedmoor marked on the map and later to Durham. The cemetery where most of the family individuals are buried is located about a half mile east of the Creedmoor town center.
The JEFFREYS and CREWS were related to the LYON, BRAGG, FLEMING, and GREEN families. Some of them live there to this day.
David G. Crews House
Tar River Road (SR 1635)
Granville County, North Carolina
David G. Crews (1839-1921) built this traditionally fashioned, mid-nineteenth century farmhouse. He left it to his son, Luther, who in turn left it to his son, the second David G. Crews, its present owner. Two stories tall and one-room deep, the house has 6/6 windows set in crossetted surrounds and a long ell that was originally connected to the rear only by a roof. Remaining mid-century interior details include post and lintel mantels, two-panel doors set in flat-angled surrounds and an octagonal handrail at the center-hall stairway. Though later added, the house’s most striking feature is the sinuous band of balusters that frame its front porch.
