I (Marty Grant) don't know how I'm related to William Cribb, but I'm quite sure I am related to him somehow.
William Cribb was born ca 1812/13 in North Carolina, presumably in Columbus County.
I don't know who William Cribb's parents were. A few years ago, I found him on the Internet somewhere, listed as a child of Thomas Cribb and Margaret Fowler. This could be correct, but I've seen no direct evidence to prove it. Circumstantial evidence supports it though.
William Cribb would have been about 7 years old in 1820, so if listed on that census, he would have been in the "under 10" age group, (born ca 1810/20). In that year, Thomas Cribb in Columbus Co, NC had an apparent son that age. In neighboring Bladen County, Shadrick Cribb had two apparent sons in that age group. There were several Cribbs in nearby Georgetown Dist, SC with sons about this age as well.
In 1830, William Cribb would have been about 17 years old, so if listed, he should be in the age 15-19 group (born ca 1810/15). I don't have the 1830 enumerations for Columbus County, but Thomas Cribb (1781) was listed there on the census. I'll have to check and see if he had someone William's age with him then.
There was a William Cribb listed on the 1830 census in Marion Dist, SC, but I don't know who it was, this William seems slightly too young in 1830 to be head of household.
William Cribb married Jane --- between 1830 and 1832, either in Columbus Co, NC or in Marion Dist, SC. Jane was born ca 1814/15 in SC, presumably Marion District. I don't know her maiden name.
I did not find William Cribb listed on the 1840 census. He should have been in Columbus Co, NC then, but I may have missed him. There were other Cribbs that should be in 1840 Columbus, but I didn't find them either. Something may be wrong with the census index. One of William's daughters (Nancy) was born ca 1838. The 1850 census gives her birth place as North Carolina, but the 1860 census gives Georgia. If this is correct, then the family obviously moved to Georgia in the late 1830's, but returned to Columbus Co, NC before 1850. I did not find a William Cribb listed on the 1840 index in Georgia, but there were other Cribbs listed there in various counties.
In 1850, William and Jane Cribb and family were listed on the 1850 census in Columbus Co, NC. They were just a couple of pages from William Abraham Cribb, probably a cousin.

They all moved to neighboring Marion Dist, SC in the 1850's.
William Cribb died in 1858, in Marion Dist, SC. He was dead before 31 May 1858, for on that date his son John Cribb requested letters of administration for his father William Cribb who died Intestate. (Probate Roll # 998, published in "Probate Records, Marion County, South Carolina Volume One", by Lucille Utley, Danny Smith, 1985, page 143).
Jane, now widowed, was listed on the 1860 census in Marion Dist, SC just a few houses from her married son John Cribb.

Jane was still in Marion for the 1870 census, listed in Hillsboro Township. She was next door to married son John Cribb and his family.

I did not find Jane on the 1880 census, so she may have died, or remarried by then.
William and Jane had 6 children, per the 1850 through 1870 census records.
John Cribb was born Dec 1832 (per 1900 census) in Columbus Co, NC.
He was ** probably home with his parents for the 1840 census, but I don't have that listing yet.
John was home with his parents in 1850 ("John" age 17, born NC). He apparently moved to neighboring Marion Dist, SC with them in the early 1850's.
John Cribb married Joanna --- ca 1854/55 in Marion Dist, SC. Joanna was born Nov 1832 (per 1900) census in Marion Dist, SC. I don't know what her maiden name is.
For the 1860 census, John and family were listed in Marion Dist, SC, just 3 houses from his widowed mother.

In 1870, John and family were in Marion still, in Hillsboro Township (present Dillon County), next door to his widowed mother.

In 1910, this part of Marion County was cut off to form the new county of Dillon.
** I have not yet checked the 1910 or 1920 census for additional data on this family.
Nancy E. Cribb was born ca 1837/38 in either Columbus Co, NC ("NC" per 1850 census) or in Georgia ("GA" per 1860 census).
Nancy was home with her parents in 1850 ("Nancy E." age 12, born NC), and with her widowed mother in 1860 ("Nancy E.", age 21, born GA). She was not with her mother in 1870, so probably married or dead by then.
Hiram Thomas Cribb was born ca 1839/40 in either Columbus Co, NC ("NC" per 1850 census) or in South Carolina ("SC" per 1860 census).
Hiram was home with his parents in 1850 ("Hiram T." age 10, born NC), and with his widowed mother in 1860 ("Thomas", age 20, born SC).
I did not find him in 1870, so he may have died, or moved away in the 1860/70 timeframe.
Levi J. Cribb was born ca 1843/44 in either Columbus Co, NC ("NC" per 1850 census) or in South Carolina ("SC" per 1860 census).
Levi was home with his parents in 1850 ("Levi F." age 6, born NC), and with his widowed mother in 1860 ("Levi J.", age 16, born SC).
For the Civil War, Levi Cribb enlisted as a Private in Company I, 8th Regiment Infantry. ("A History of Marion County, South Carolina", 1902, by W. W. Sellers, Esq, page 592)
I did not find him in 1870, so he may have died, or moved away in the 1860/70 timeframe.
Joel Cribb was born ca 1846/47 in either Columbus Co, NC ("NC" per 1850 census) or in South Carolina ("SC" per 1860 and 1870 census).
Joel was home with his parents in 1850 ("Joel" age 3, born NC), and with his widowed mother in 1860 ("Joel", age 12, born SC), and with her still in 1870 ("Joel", age 23, born SC).
I did not find him in 1880, so he may have died, or moved away in the 1870/80 timeframe.
William Cribb was born ca 1850/51 in Marion Dist, SC.
William was home with his widowed mother in 1860 ("William", age 9, born SC), and with her still in 1870 ("William", age 18, born SC).
I did not find him in 1880, so he may have died, or moved away in the 1870/80 timeframe.
