John Crutchfield is a farmer of Scott County, Ark., and as a man and citiz en is highly respected by all who know him. He was born in Orange Count y, N. C., about 1835, to Henry and Polly (O'Daniel) Crutchfield, they bei ng also born in North Carolina, in which State the mother died, Mr. Crutch field afterward marrying a Mrs. Walker, and with her removing to Tennesse e, his death occurring in Franklin County since the Rebellion. He was a bl acksmith and farmer, and was an earnest member of the Missionary Baptist C hurch. His father, William Crutchfield, died in North Carolina, the mother 's father, John O'Daniel, also dying there, a farmer. The gentleman who se name heads this sketch, was the sixth of eight children, and was rear ed on a farm, receiving but little schooling. At the age of nineteen yea rs he was married to Mary, daughter of Aaron and Elizabeth T. Tripp, of No rth Carolina, where Mrs. Crutchfield was born in 1860. She and her husba nd removed to Lincoln County, Tenn., two years after to Franklin County, a nd in 1871 came to Scott County, Ark., settling on their present farm, whi ch was then heavily covered with timber. His estate comprises 300 acr es of land, of which 150 acres are cleared, which desirable state of affai rs has been brought about by his own efforts. His land is the best in h is neighborhood, which fact is in a great measure owing to the time and wo rk he has expeuded on it. In 1867 he was called upon to mourn the dea th of his wife, and the following year he was united in marriage to Mrs. J ane Amick, whose native birthplace is the State of Tennessee, she [p.40 2] being a daughter of Caleb and Sophronia Call, the former of whom was bo rn in North Carolina, and the latter in Tennessee. Mr. Call went to Tennes see when a boy, where he lived many years, then came to Scott County, whe re he spent his declining years. His father, Daniel Call, was born in Nor th Carolina, and died in Tennessee. Mrs. Crutchfield was born in Coffee Co unty, Tenn., in 1842, and was married in that county to A. J. Amick, who d ied while serving in the Confederate Army during the Rebellion. Mr. Crutch field had five children by his first wife, one son and two daughters livin g, his last wife also bearing him five children of whom two sons and one d aughter survive.
