Wife of Abraham Crabs, b 1767, Pennsylvania

Wife of Abraham Crabs, b 1767, Pennsylvania

Has anyone found any further information on Abraham Crabs' wife Thankful Austin? I have her birth date as 22 Aug 1775 in Pennsylvania and her death as 15 Sept 1814 in Salem, Jefferson County, Ohio. I have their marriage date as 17 Feb 1791 in Pennsylvania (thinking Washington County but don't know for sure).

I know many think that Thankful's maiden name was Lyons but I have no proof of this. I have bible pages that state her maiden name was Austin. She married at 15 yrs which leaves little or no room for the theory of another marriage prior to her marriage to Abraham.

Any help would be appreciated or if I can help you with anything please let me know.

Thanks,

Julie

I am currently researching Abraham Crabbs and Thankful Austin. I was interested in what you said about Lyons and Austin names. My family history wasresearched by my Grandfather, Herbert John Crabbs b.1888 and son of John Clinton Crabbs b. 1852, son of John Crabbs b. 1823 and son of Abraham Crabbs b. 1767. He has Abraham's wife as Thankful Austin and I saw that in one of the family Bibles posted. But keep seeing Lyons and am confused a little. Don't have any more info. on her. Do you have info on Abraham and family?

I have tried to document everyone on the Crabs line - if you have any questions, please let me know. There are a lot of Crabs, Crabbs, Crabb, Crabbe's out there.
