Elizabeth Tydings, daughter of Richard Tydings (1638-1686) and Charity (__?__) Tydings, of Ann Arundel Co., MD, married Robert Crump I, son of William and Frances (Mountney) Crump of Queen Ann's Co., MD (See source #1 below and attached page 362). There is a widely propagated genealogical error involving the husband of Elizabeth Tydings which contends she married John Belt, son of Humphrey Belt and secondly, John Lamb. Another genealogical error involving the Tydings family concerns the maiden name of Richard Tydings' wife, Charity, claiming it to be "Sparrow" (See FAG memorial Charity Sparrow Tydings for an example of this PROPAGATED ERROR. Recent studies have shown that true believers of an idea confronted with incontrovertible facts to the contrary will not change their opinion especially if an agenda is involved). Richard Tydings' wife WAS named Charity but her surname is unknown. That her given name was Charity is gleaned from the Quaker marriage record of their son, John, where he is listed as the son of "Richard and Charity". The Tydings family and the Sparrow family literature is replete with the inaccurate statement that Richard Tydings married Charity Sparrow, the daughter of Thomas Sparrow, Sr. (1615-1659). There simply is NO documented evidence that Thomas Sparrow, Sr. had a daughter named Charity. See Thomas Sparrow, Sr.'s FAG memorial #124905698 for a full discussion and proof of this statement.

Various publications over the past many decades have incorrectly listed Richard Tydings' daughter, Elizabeth, as being identical to Elizabeth, wife of John Belt. Innumerable family trees published on Ancestry.com have propagated this error. That Richard Tydings' daughter, Elizabeth, actually married Robert Crump I is accepted presently and is proven by the following:

Richard Tydings of Anne Arudel Co., MD purchased the 375 acre tract of land named "Nangimie" on 02 Oct 1685 from George Thompson of St. Mary,s Co., MD. (See attached land purchase).

"Richard Tydings of Anne Arundel Co., MD left his will dated 02 Feb 1687 (Maryland Prerogative Court Wills 6, p40, without probate entry) in which he bequeathed a 375 acre tract (called "Nanjomie") in Baltimore Co. to his daughters, Charity and Elizabeth Tydings. On 25 June 1719, Robert Crump I (1673-1748) and his wife, Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump, of Queen Anne's Co., MD, sold 187.5 acres, their half of "Nanjomie", to Phillip Thomas, "of which Robert was seized in right of his wife" (Baltimore Co., MD Deed Bk. TR #DS, pp 47-51).

On 12 Dec 1750, Charity (Tydings) Sellman, "one of the daughters and devisees of Richard Tidings" (and widow of William Sellman), sold to Thomas Harrison all right and claim to one moiety or half part (187.5 acres) of a tract called "Nanjemy" (Nanjomie), the whole tract containing 375 acres. (Baltimore Co., MD Land Records TR#D:107-108, FHL microfilm 0,013,330) (See attached "Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia, 1607-1624/5" by John Frederick Dorman, Vol. I, 2004, p362, Footnote #50, which confirms the above documentation). (FYI: John Frederick Dorman's book is a seminal genealogy reference book which is accepted by the Jamestowne Society and all other hereditary organizations for which its information is pertinent).

To clarify, the 25 June 1719 land transfer mentioned above stated that Robert and Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump (I) sold the half part of the tract known as "Nanjomie" that was the right of his wife, Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump. Elizabeth's right to the land would have been from it having been her one half of the tract (Nanjomie) willed to her and her sister, Charity, in their father's, Richard Tydings, will dated 02 Feb 1687. Therefore, the Elizabeth who first married John Belt, and secondly John Lamb, and died testate in 1737 as Elizabeth Lamb was NOT the daughter of Richard Tydings of the 02 Feb 1687 will. Unfortunately for her descendants, the identity (maiden name) of Elizabeth, wife of John Belt and John Lamb, remains unknown.

In 1748 Phillip Thomas of Anne Arundel County sold the 187.5 acres, the "undivided moiety" of the tract "Nanjomie" he had acquired from Robert and Elizabeth (Tyding) Crump, to Thomas Harrison (Baltimore Deeds TR#C:89-91; and TR#C:99-101, FHL microfilm 0,013,330). Thus, Thomas Harrison owned the entire 375 acres of "Nanjomie".

The inventory of Robert Crump, I's estate taken 11 March 1748 in Queen Anne's County was signed by "next of kin" Preposia Bostick (Robert Crump inventory, MD Inventories 41:209-210, FHL microfilm 0,012,876). A Preciosia Crump married Samuel Bostock 14 Jan 1730 at St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anne's County (Ref: Source #1 below, p363). Repeated use of the name Preciosia/Pretiotia among the Crump family is added evidence that Richard Tydings daughter, Elizabeth, married Robert Crump as Elizabeth's sister and third daughter of Richard Tydings was also named Pretiotia. This name is found spelled in various ways, i.e. Pretitia/Pretosia/Prelitia/Preciosia. This daughter of Richard Tydings married Dutton Lane (1665-1726), a wealthy planter in Anne Arundel Co., MD, about 1693.

Robert and Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump, I had the following children:
1) Robert Crump II (see below).
2) Mary Crump, m. 1) 10 Jun 1719 Abraham Montague (St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anna Co., MD, Register), 2) (__?__) Godfree (Based on the assumption she is the Mary Godfree who with Precosia Bostick signed the next of kin on the inventory of Robert Crump (II), 11 March 1748/49-Maryland Prerogative Court Inventories41, p209)
3) Preciosia Crump, m. 14 Jan 1730/1 Samuel Bostick of Queen Anne's Co., MD. (St. Luke's Parish, Queen Anna Co., MD, Register; See also source #1 below, page 363.

NOTE: For an example of the propagation of the misinformation concerning the surname of Elizabeth (Tydings) Crump's mother as "Sparrow", see her mother's name attached to this memorial, e. g. "Charity (Sparrow) Tydings". In the face of proof to the contrary, maintaining that Thomas Sparrow, Sr. or Thomas Sparrow, Jr. had a daughter named "Charity Sparrow" removes the option of ignorance of the facts and indicates a genealogical agenda of some sort. For further discussion of the facts in this case see the memorial dedicated to Thomas Sparrow, Sr.
