ROBERT P. CRUTCHER, farmer and miller of Marshall County, Tenn., is a son of
Robert and Nancy L. (Childress) Crutcher, and was born in Williamson County,
Tenn., February 3, 1828.  He made his home with his parents until twenty-seven
years of age, and acquired a common school education, after which he began
doing for himself.  In 1855 he married Mary E. Thompson, who bore him three
children:  Hugh M., Mary A., and William B. (deceased).  Hugh wedded Jennie
Wallace, and is a farmer and miller; Mary is the wife of Whit Rone, also a
farmer and miller.  Mrs. Crutcher was born Septemaber 8, 1831, in Williamson
County, and is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Soon after
his marriage Mr. Crutcher located on the farm where he now lives.  He also
worked at the shoe-maker’s trade, and had a good custom until 1859, when he
opened a tan-yard where his mill now stands.  Shortly after the close of the
war he erected a small grist and saw-mill, which he ran with a ten-horse
thresher engine, but soon tore this building down and erected a fine mill.  He
owned a farm of 400 acres, part of which he has given to his children, and now
owns about 212 acres.  He is a stirring business man, and upright in all his
dealings with his follow-men.
