EDMOND CREEKMAN
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.
Actually, this story is a combination of family tale and supposition. We don't yet have proof. We know a Crickmur and a Culpepper were wed in Virginia and had immigrated to Kentucky by the early 1820s. The site in Virginia where a number of Crickmurs and Culpeppers could be found was Norfolk.
This piece of "The Story" is about the first two generations of Creekmans to be in Virginia. The link to our Kentucky Crickmurs is still missing.
Edmond Creekman was born about 1630 in England. We do not know where or who his parents were.
There is a lengthy article in the1966 The Virginia Genealogist in an article called Creekmore Notes compiled by Mabel H. Thornton and Elizabeth B. Wingo. It states that Edmond Creekman appears as a headright in a land patent issued August 145, 1650 to Lewis ffarinall.
On page 148 it states that on Oct 15, 1663 Edmond Creekman received a certificate for 50 acres of land "for the transportation of Jane Wood now the wife of the said Crickman into this collony". The source of this material was from the Norfolk County Virginia Wills and Deeds Book D, page 383.
He lived near the mouth of Deep Creek on the southern branch of Elizabeth River.
The Creekmore Notes article goes on to include the will of Edmon Creekmon found in Norfolk Co. Deed Book 4, page 80. It was dated March 1679 and proved August 16, 1680. He names his wife and four children:
1. John Creackmon, heir to the home plantation on Deep Creek.
2. Edward Creackmon heir to a tract of land near Mr. Richard Jones Sr.
3. Edmon Creackmon, youngest son, not yet 21.
4. Elizabeth Creackmon, heir to articles "upon her marriage".
No further mention is made of Jane.
