BIOGRAPHY NOTE:
The marriage of Hardy Crews and Pheobe Gooche (a
Cherokee Indian) has not, to this date, been verified. It
is recognized by most researchers that it is
probable, therefore it is assumed at this time, until further
proof is shown, that Pheobe Goochewas the wife of Hardy
Crews.
A number of Crews descendants filed claims in (1909?)
listing Phoebe Gooche Crews as their Cherokee ancestor. All
of these claims were rejected. They could not show any
member of this family, or their ancestors, listed as a
Cherokee on past Rolls. Ref: "Cherokee By Blood," by Jerry
Jordan
