Cathy,
According to my records and research Willlis James Crabb, b. 1851 d.1930, is the first son of William Perry Crabb and M. Elizabeth Horne. Census records for the family state only his middle name James so he must have been referred to as James rather than Willis during the census interviews. Willis James Crabb is the brother of my ggrandfather Henry Livingston Crabb who was born to William Perry Crabb and Lucinda N. Livingston, rather than Elizabeth Horne.
Joe Marion Crabb was a resident of Carlsbad, NM as was Henry Livingston Crabb. Joe's children were cousins to my father and aunts (Algee Buel Crabb, Gladys Blanch Crabb, and Darby Joy Crabb) when they lived in Carlsbad. My father's Aunt, Mable Crabb, the daughter of Henry Livingston Crabb, informed me of these relationships during a visit I made to Carlsbad in 1975.
This is the best information I have to offer you Cousin.
Let me know if there is anything else I might help you with.
Sincerely,
D. Lee Crabb
