Where did the English Crumm family come from? What is the English Crumm family crest and coat of arms? When did the Crumm family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Crumm family history? The name Crumm is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Crumm was a name used for a person with an abnormal curvature of the spine. The surname Crumm is derived from the Old English word crump, which means bent or crooked. Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Crumm include Crump, Crumpe, Crompe, Crum, Crummey, Crumb, Crumbe, Crombe, Crom, Cromm, Cromp, Crumm, Crommey, Crummie, Crummy, Crommie and many more. First found in Berkshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Crumm research.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Crumm were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Giles Crump, who settled in Virginia in 1637; and was followed by Thomas Crump in 1653. Francis Crump settled in Jamaica in 1760; Margaret Crump settled in Pennsylvania in 1772.
