Series 1: Correspondence

Scope and content:

Correspondence of Estie Stith Crabbe while compiling genealogical information for a book on the Stith and Hardaway Families. Includes a chronology created by Ms. Crabbe of all the letters she wrote between 1949 and 1965.

Correspondence is in A-Z folders, then at the end of this group, the major correspondents are in A-Z order with individual folders.

Correspondents include professional genealogists and family members who also pursued genealogy. Some of the correspondence is with contacts who might have links or information on the Stith, Hardaway and related Families. Ms. Crabbe typed all of her letters, with one or more carbon copies, and typed many of the letters she received. Some correspondence can also be found under Series 2 (Stith Ancestors) and Series 3 (Family Names) and may duplicate or complement what is in these files.
