Research Notes

Robert Bennett Crouch was born 3 December 1892 at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, and died 15 April 1969. His father, Isaac Breckenridge Crouch, from Bourbon County, Kentucky, brought the first registered saddle horses to Oklahoma in 1896. In 1913, Bennett Crouch of Vinita, Oklahoma, moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to train and show horses for Edward Orn (on the present Paul Martin farm). Bennett was a farmer and stockman, and one of the organizers of The Farm Bureau, where he was on the board of directors. He also served as a director of the Meadow Valley School. Obviously, the 8 December 1915 marriage of Bennett Crouch and Lottie Lee Moore was a good union, and their family helped them celebrate their Golden Anniversary in 1965. They spent all their married 'lives on the same farm, where their seven Crouch children were born: Mildred Lee born 28 July 1917 and died 26 February 1937; Joe Bennett born 30 May 1921, married Christine Allen and had Joe Bennett and Allen Oliver; Mary Carolyn born 12 November 1923, married Zara Lee Thomas and had Carolyn Lee, Michael, Joe, and Gerald Dale; Robert Henry born 31 December 1925, married Virginia Smith and had Robert W. and Marilyn Kay; Patricia Lucille born 29 May 1929, married H. Dean Browner and had Donna Jean, Nancy Ellen, and Janet Kay; Kathryn Nan born 12 August 1933 and died 30 October 1933; and Charlotte Sue born 20 March 1935 and died 28 October 1935. The three oldest surviv Crouch children still live here, their grandchildren comprising the seventh generation of the Moore family to live in Washington County. By: Patricia (Crouch) Browner
