  Notes	The son of Peter and Margaret Magdalena Crabb, in 1860 he was a blacksmith living in Gratz, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 10" tall and had black hair and black eyes. A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service: 1. An antebellum member of the Gratz Militia, he enlisted at the stated age of twenty in Gratz June 27, 1863, during the Gettysburg crisis, mustered into state service at Harrisburg July 2 as a private with Co. C, 36th Pennsylvania Militia, but then is listed as a deserter to date July 8, 1863 from Paper Town. The 36th Pennsylvania Militia was a white regiment, and whether race was a factor in his departure is unknown, albeit highly possible. 2. Enlisted at the stated age of twenty-one and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg January 26, 1865, as a private with Co. B, 24th U.S. Colored Troops. Promoted to corporal February 8, 1865, he honorably discharged with his company October 1, 1865, at which time he purchased his Springfield musket with accouterments for $6.00. He married Annie Engleman ca. 1866 and fathered Wellington J. (b. 1869) and Engelman J. (b. @1874). A one-time commander of Harrisburg's Stevens Post No. 520, G.A.R., he died after an unspecified year-long illness. Biography complied by: Dennis Brandt (Contributor ID 47232334)
