Crutcher Family Genealogical Summary
Both of
Kent
's
parents are of American pioneer stock with European roots to
Scotland
,
England
,
Wales
,
Germany
and the
Viking nations. The American ancestry is all Southern with many ancestors
fighting in the War Between the States. He is a 7th generation Texan with 4 grandfathers
who were early Texas Rangers, one killed in the American Mexican War of
1845-48. These men were Comanche and Mexican fighters supreme. One
grandfather's brother, Thomas Jefferson Chambers, was the 1st Supreme Justice
of
Texas
in 1835, while under the
Mexico
dictatorship (the Texans never trusted him thereafter); another was mayor of
East Dallas 1876-1890. Most of the ancestors were farmers, but a few
were politicians, teachers, preachers, and tradesmen. There were some culls in
the family tree, but on the whole, they were above average in achievement and
land holdings. One pioneering grandfather, John Wildcat McKinney, signed the
1st Kentucky Constitution (a regional Daniel Boone equivalent) and several
grandfathers were well known in their geographic area for a special deed or
another.
Kent
's
ancestors fought in the Indian Wars, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and WWII.
The early ones go back to the founding of early
Kentucky
,
Virginia
, and
North Carolina
. A few founded early
Jamestown
.
The latecomers to
America
were
the Ulster Scots, arriving in
America
in the early 1700's. On his father's side of the family,
Kent
ties into the Campbell Clan, who married into the old kings of
Scotland
,
starting with Robert III. These kings tie into the Irish kings, who tie into
the kings of
Judah
of the Bible, who eventually lead back to Adam. On his mother's side of the
equation, the trail eventually leads back to the Harris and
Berkley
families of early
America
,
who in-turn tie into the kings of
England
starting with Edward III. This paper trail connects back to the 1st Saxon kings
of
England
,
about 500AD, which along the way, includes Alfred the Great, perhaps the
greatest king of English history.
Kent
has been a member of The Sons of the American Revolution, Sons of the
Confederacy and The Sons of the
Republic
of
Texas
. The family history is
very rich and diverse in achievement.
