William Andrew Crick (1856-1929)

**There has been some conflicting research done regarding Alice Boggess, William Crick, Sylvester F. Driskill, and Sylvester M. Driskill.  I have done my best to muddle through the records and my research notes can be found here.


William Andrew Crick was born on November 21, 1856 in Rutherford County, Tennessee.  He was the son of Marion Merriman Landrum Crick and Virginia Catherine Winsett.  William was raised on the family farm in Tennessee.

By 1880, William’s family moved to Court House, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.

William married Martha Jane Boggess on January 13, 1881 in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was 24 years old and she was 19 years.  Martha was born on December 11, 1861 in Muhlenberg County, the daughter of Martin W. Boggess and Sarah Martha Mitchell.

William and Martha were the parents of nine children:

Luther Martin Crick                          born March 27, 1881
Louvenia Crick                                 born December 1882
John Henry Crick                             born January 16, 1884
David Meyers Crick                         born June 2, 1889
Eura Oscar Crick                              born May 3, 1890
Oliver C. Crick                                  born July 7, 1892
Clara Crick                                        born July 1895
Flora Crick                                         born September 28, 1899
One child born and died between 1881 and 1900

After their marriage, William and Martha settled on a farm in Court House, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  There, they lived, worked, and raised their large family together.

William Andrew Crick died on January 20, 1929 in Court House, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.  He was buried in the Carter Creek Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Greenville, Muhlenberg County.  He was 72 years old at his death.

Martha Jane Boggess Crick died four years later, on June 10, 1933 in Court House, Muhlenberg County.  She was laid to rest beside her husband in the Carter Creek Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Greenville, Muhlenberg County.  She was 71 years old at her death.
