I (Marty Grant) don't know how I'm related to Thomas Cribb, but I'm quite sure I am related to him somehow.
Thomas Cribb was born ca 1802/03 in North Carolina, presumably in Brunswick (now Columbus) Co, NC.
I don't know who Thomas Cribb's parents were. There are a couple of suspects though. See below for more.
Thomas Cribb would have been about 7 years old in 1810, so if listed on that census, he would have been in the "under 10" age group, (born ca 1800/10). In 1810, the only Cribbs in North Carolina were in Bladen and Columbus Co, NC. Only two of those households had an apparent son this age. Shadrick Cribb in Bladen Co, NC had one apparent son this age (age "under 10", born ca 1800/10). In Columbus, only "J. Cribb" had someone that age with them. However, I don't know which (if either) of these two is Thomas' family.
In 1820, Thomas Cribb would have been about 17 years old, so if listed, he should be in the age 16-25 group (born ca 1794/1804). I didn't find any matches with those in Bladen or Columbus Co, NC. There was a Thomas Cribb listed in 1820 Columbus Co, NC, but this is Thomas Cribb (1781).
In 1830, Thomas Cribb would have been about 27 years old, so if listed, he should be in the age 20-29 group (born ca 1800/10). There is a Thomas Cribb listed in 1830 Columbus Co, NC on the index, but I don't have the enumerations yet, but I think this is the elder Thomas Cribb (1781) instead.
At some point (don't know when precisely), Thomas Cribb married Elizabeth --- in Columbus Co, NC. She was born ca 1802/03 in NC. I don't know her maiden name.
I did not find Thomas Cribb listed on the 1840 census. He should have been in Columbus Co, NC then, but I may have missed him.
In 1850, Thomas and Elizabeth Cribb were listed on the 1850 census in Columbus Co, NC. They were not near any of the other Cribbs. Also note that Elizabeth was listed with a race code of "M", meaning Mulatto. (See my page on Ethnic origins for more data on "race" in genealogy).

Thomas and Elizabeth were still in Columbus for the 1860 census, and again, not listed near the other Cribbs.

I have not checked the 1870 census or later, for more info on Thomas and Elizabeth.
I have no data on any possible children for Thomas and Elizabeth.
