Robert Crump II was the son of Robert Crump I (1673-1748) and Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump (1673-1719) [Ref: "Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5" by John Frederick Dorman, Vol. I, 4th Ed., 2004, pp362-363].

On 28 May 1731, Robert Crump II married Jane (Lowder) Lazenby, daughter of Charles and Joane (__?__) Lowder and widow of John Lazenby, at St. Luke's Parish (Ref: St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anne's Co., MD, Register).

By 1752, Robert and Jane (Lazenby) Crump II had moved from Queen Anne's County, Maryland with family and relatives to the part of Halifax County, VA which became Pittsylvania Co., VA in 1767. To substantiate this move, a 1752 order in Halifax Co., VA directed that Robert Crump II [two tithables in his household], Charles Lowder, Charles Lessenby (Lazenby) and Daniel Lessenby (Lezenby), among others, be added to the general list of tithables.

On 18 Sept 1753, Robert Crump (II), William Crump (son of Robert Crump II and brother of Robert Crump III), David Lessenby, Edward Lowder and Charles Lessenby were added to the tithable list of Joseph Terry (Ref: Halifax Co. Pleas [Orders] 1, pp62,185, order, 20 Dec 1752) NOTE: It appears that David Lessenby and Charles Lessenby, may have been the sons of Jane (Lazenby) Crump and her deceased first husband, John Lazenby.

In 1754, Robert II was on the tithables list of Halifax Co., VA and was recorded as living "in the forks of the River Roanoke". NOTE: The only location that seems to fit that description is where the "North Fork" and the "South Fork" of the Roanoke River join at Lafayette, in present day Montgomery Co., VA.

The Halifax County, Virginia, Court Orders 1758-1759, Plea Book 2, Part 2, p. 119 reads: August Court 1759, John Parr (Sr.), assignee of Robert Crump (II), assignee of Mathew Read who was assignee of Robert Read, Plt, vs. Adam Loving, Deft., In Debt. For reasons appearing, suit dismissed. (NOTE: John Parr, Sr. was the father of Mary Parr whom Robert Green Crump III would marry in 1770.)

Pittsylvania Co,. VA was formed from Halifax Co. in 1767. Robert Crump II patented 400 acres of land in Pittsylvania Co., VA on 30 May 1767 located on Green Creek which flows into the South Mayo River, then into the Dan River, then into the Roanoke River. (Ref: Pittsylvania County Entry Book 1737-70, p408). His land was only a few miles from the 400 acres of land owned by John Parr, Sr. (Robert Crump III's future father-in-law) located on the Little Fork of Spoon Creek which also empties into the South Mayo River. Also living in the area was William Crump (mentioned above), the brother of Robert Crump III who was living on Crooked Creek which also flows into the South Mayo River. Robert Crump II was tithable in Pittsylvania Co. in 1767 and 1770 (Ref: "The History of Pittsylvania County, Virginia (Lynchburg) by Maud Carter Clement, 1929, p282).

Also in 1767, Robert Crump II and his son, Robert Crump III were added to the tax rolls of Pittsylvania Co. This means that Robert Crump III, son of Robert Crump II, was born on or before 1750-51.

In 1770, Robert Crump II and his son, Robert Crump (III), were recorded on the Tithables List by Archelaus Hughes in Pittsylvania Co., VA. John Parr, Sr. was also on this Tithables List. NOTE: To be "Tithable", one must 16 Y/O or older.

The children of Robert and Jane (Lazenby) Crump II were:
1) William Crump
2) Robert Crump III

NOTE: The middle names of Robert Crump I (1673-1748) and Robert Crump I (1706-1770) aren’t found in the genealogical records as far I can determine but records concerning Robert Crump III (1745-1823), the son of Robert Crump II, have injected an interesting development. Some of Robert Crump III’s records refer to him as Robert Crump, Sr. when he and his son, Robert "Green" Crump, Jr.’s (aka IV), names are in the same record. This would logically lead one to believe that Robert Crump, Jr. could also be referred to as Robert Crump IV which would mean that Robert Crump I, II and III would share the middle name of “Green”. In addition, Barton Guess Crump (1814-1889), son of Silas Crump (1775-1834) named a son, Henry "Green" Crump (1847-1901). Also, Martha (Crump) Yeargin (1808-1884), daughter of Robert Green Crump IV, named a son Simeon "Green" Yeargin (1844-1917). John Wesley Crump (1854-1943), son of Robert Green Crump IV, named a son "Green" Crump (1896-1915).
