I found these Crabtree's and I believe they are who you are looking for. I
am not directly related to this line. At best, I'm distantly related to
someone who married your distant cousin.

Enjoy!

And then finally, in the "Scott County Tennessee and Its Families" I found
the following:

..."Jesse Crabtree was born about 1800. He married Elizabeth about 1820. he
is listed in the 1830 and 1840 census' of Campbell County. The 1850 Census
lists him in Scott County. about 1855 he moved to Wayne County, KY., his
occupation was as a gunsmith/blacksmith. His children were James, William,
Margaret (according to census of 1830 1840 1850 he had four sons and two
daughters). In 1848 records show that Jesse gave 50 acres of land to his
son James (Located in the 13th district of Campbell County on the Rock House
fork of Buffalo and the East For of New River.)
James Married 1.) Elizabeth Smith on April 26 1850. They are listed in the
1850 census of Scott County their children were: Mary m. Fredrick Trammel;
William m Melvina Trammell (a sister to Fredrick Trammell; Margaret m Henry
Adkins; John m Nancy Macu, Richard m Amanda Emmaline Shelton, Absulam marred
Sarah E. Freels.
James Married 2.) Bethany Claxton in Campbell County on June 1 1865. They
had no children."

...."Jesse Crabtree was rumored to have been a friend to the James Brothers,
Frank and Jesse. He was a farmer, blacksmith and was said to have been a
fine counterfeiter....

..."ancestors came to Scott County from England by way of VA., KY and the
Fentress County and finally into Scott County..."

There is more on this line, including some pictures. If you are interested,
let me know, and I will snail mail the information to you.
