Benjamin Cushing1

(Executor) Will2 June 1803Benjamin Cushing, identified as "of Halifax", was named as the sole Executor in the will of John Hooper dated 2 June 1803 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. The will directed the Executor to sell all the remainder of John's personal estate not otherwise bequeathed and, after paying all just debts, funeral and other charges, to divide the remainder equally between John Hooper Palmer, the son of Ezekiel Palmer of Woodstock, Vermont, nephew Asa Leach, of Scituate, Rhode Island, and Michael Kennedy, his nephew living in some part of the state of Vermont.1 
(Executor) Probate4 May 1807Benjamin had moved from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts when John Hooper's will was presented for probate on 4 May 1807 in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, so Ebenezer Hathaway was appointed Administrator and gave bond as required by law. Ebenezer was then instructed to return an inventory of the estate to the Judge of Probate and also to advertise for all persons owing debts or having claims against the estate.1,2

Allen Cutlip1

b. 1816
Birth*1816Allen Cutlip was born about 1816 in Virginia.2 
Marriage*26 August 1841He married first Margaret F. Lewis, daughter of George Lewis and Lydia Lewis, on 26 August 1841 in Greenbrier County, Virginia.3 
(Husband) Death27 March 1861Allen became a widower when Margaret F. (Lewis) Cutlip died on 27 March 1861 at age 40.4 
Marriage*1867He married second Sarah Donaldson, daughter of John Donaldson and Christina Cresimore, in 1867 in Braxton County, West Virginia.1 
Census US 1880*21 June 1880Sarah and Allen Cutlip were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 21 June 1880 in Holly, Braxton County, West Virginia. Allen was 64 years of age and a farmer, and Sarah was 60 years of age and keeping house. Neither was able to read or write. Two of Allen's children from his first marriage were enumerated with them, as was a granddaughter and a niece. Allen's son, George Wesley, was 32 years of age, single, unable to read or write, and worked as a farmer. Allen's daughter, Margaret A. Crawford, was 37 years of age, divorced, unable to read or write, and worked as a clothes washer. Her daughter, Medora J. Crawford, was 6 years old. Sarah and Allen's niece, Sarah Crawford, who was 15 years old and the daughter of Sarah (Donaldson) Cutlip's sister, Frances (Donaldson) Crawford Crites, was also enumerated with the Cutlip family in 1880. Her mother and siblings were enumerated that year in the household of her mother and stepfather, Jesse Crites, in Otter, Braxton County.2 
(Father) Relationship NoteIt troubles us that we have not yet been able to identify the husband of Allen's daughter, Margaret A. (Cutlip) Crawford. We know his surname was Crawford, and that he and Margaret had separated, and likely divorced, before the 1880 census was taken. Margaret and their daughter, Medora J. Crawford, were enumerated in 1880 in the household of Margaret's father and stepmother, Sarah and Allen Cutlip, in Holly, Braxton County, West Virginia. Medora, who was born about 1874, died in April of 1885 at age 12.

We had originally thought that Margaret A. (Cutlip) Crawford's husband might become important in our search for Brick Wall Harry Crawford because we had been concentrating our search for Harry among the Braxton County, West Virginia Crawfords. Medora's mother, Margaret A. (Cutlip) Crawford, was the stepdaughter of Sarah (Donaldson) Cutlip, who was a sister of Frances (Donaldson) Crawford Crites who had married, as her first husband, Charles Crawford, a son of John Crawford and Susan (Woods) Crawford, whose extended family had ended up becoming the primary focus of Harry's Brick Wall research. We noted that Sarah Crawford, the younger daughter of Frances (Donaldson) Crawford Crites and her first husband, Charles Crawford, was also enumerated in Allen Cutlip's household on the 1880 census.

If anyone reading this can help us identify the husband of Margaret A. (Cutlip) Crawford, please contact us.2,5
