2026 Mail
March 6, 2026. Letter from Jeff Crabb:
(In response to the Peter Crabb free Black family listed in Gratz, Mifflin Township, Dauphin County in the 1830 Census)
John Peter Crabb is buried in Lincoln Cemetery in Harrisburg PA. His brother Edward is buried in Gratz, Dauphin County. He also served as a Buffalo Soldier. Another brother that enlisted was Benjamin Crabb but I think that he changed his name and is linked to the Peter Crabb family in Gratz that helped and housed Noah Pinkney.
