So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - From Steven D. Crowther 3 Feb 1991.There is a conflict between my father Osmond Crowther, and Duane S. Crowther which begins with the father of Thomas Crowther who married Ann Preece 7 Jun 1821. Dad believed that the father was a Thomas chr. 9 Apr 1765. In researching the microfilm # 599489 of Easthope, I did indeed find a Thomas chr. 9 Apr 1765, whose parents were John and Mary. However, I also found another Thomas Crowther, the son of Thomas and Martha chr. 9 May 1764 at Cardington (only about 3 miles away) on film # 510658. Two Thomas Crowthers born only 3 miles apart and only about 1 year apart can certainly cause confusion in this time period where information is very sketchy at best. Which is our direct line relative, and which is not?My approach is to extend the lines back as far as possible and do the work on both lines, since a mistake here would be so easy to make.However, I have chosen to show my direct line as Thomas chr. 9 May 1764, at Cardington, the son of Thomas and Martha for the following reasons:1. The marriage of Thomas Crowther & Ann Preece in the Parish Records of Cardington film # 918055 is a prime document. It shows that both Thomas and Ann were members of the Cardington Parish. The wittnesses were Francis Preece and Martha Crowther (In their own handwriting). Since Francis Preece was the father of Ann, it is probable that Martha was Thomas's mother. Since both marriage partners were of THIS (Cardington) parish it would lead you to believe their familys probably had resided there for some time. And since the mother of Thomas chr 9 May 1764, at Cardington, was Martha (not Mary), this sounds like our correct line.2. What happened to the Thomas Crowther born at Easthope? A careful search of the Parish records revealed no marriage or children born to him.John Crowther of Easthope probated a will in 1801 in which he left a nice piece of property to be divided among his several children. Thomas was not mentioned, however, a codicil written in 1796 requests that an allowance be made for "my son Thomas now abroad." John's son Thomas who was abroad at this time does not sound like our Thomas who was fathering several children at Cardington from 1793 to 1809. This again leads us to believe that our direct line relative was the Thomas born to Thomas and Martha at Cardington on 9 May 1764.3. On the other hand, I could find no information in the original records to indicate that Thomas, the son of John and Mary Pemberton is our direct line.During the many hours of this reasearch, I kept thinking that I wish it were the millenium so that I could just call them back and ask them where and when they were born. It will be so much simpler then. However, for now I believe that because of the proximity of these two separate Thomas Crowthers in time and place of birth; both should be extended and the work done for them.!Chr: Cardington Parish Records F# 510658, item 3, pg 100.

From: "The W. O. Crowther Family Book"
Thomas Crowther was born May 9, 1764, in the parish of Cardington, Shropshire, the son of Thomas Crowther and Mary Child. He was married May 28, 1792, at Cardington to Martha Cartwritht, the daughter of Henry Cartwright and his wife, Mary.
The parish of Cardington is about six miles from Easthope, and is a much larger parish, with much better opportunities for the laboring man. The quartz mines gives work for many. There is also a school in Cardington.
By Thomas' day England had made progress in utilizing the great resources that it had: iron, coal, lime, cotton, and many others. Shropshire was noted for iron, charcoal, and coke. With the use of the machinery now available it was possible to set up factories where banks of machines could be installed and operated by factor workers. Coal was necessary for steam power and water had to be easily available.
All industry depended completely on iron and coal. Factory life for the masses had now arrived and working in a factory was indeed quite different to the freedom of home looms and the fresh country air. With the coming of the railroads and new and improved roads and canals with all of the improved methods of travel and transportation of goods, the cost of those goods were reduced and more possibilities for increased business were opened up.
Thomas Crowther died March 19, 1821, at t he age of 57 years.
