Melissa Ann Crawley


Thomas L. Sumrall



Melissa Ann Crawley was the daughter of John Crawley and Mary "Polly" Merritt.  She was born 09 November 1854 in Mississippi and died 23 March 1920 in Hackley, Washington Parish, Louisiana.  She married Thomas L. Sumrall on 13 November 1881 in Marion County, Mississippi.  After marriage, the couple settled in Louisiana and had five children:  Jannette "Nettie", Lizzie, Angelean, Missouri and Alice.   Melissa and Thomas are both buried in the Crain Cemetery, Washington Parish, Louisiana.

Melissa was the sister to my 2nd great grandmother, Sabra Crawley.  Therefore, she is my 2nd great grand aunt.
