John Earl was enslaved by a CRYMES family in Tennessee.
John Earl was married four times. His children were born between 1872 and 1891 and in deciding which wife bore his children:
Catherine JOHNSON is recorded by other researchers to have been born in 1874 so would be too young, but I have found no records which give her birth year. In fact I can find no records at all relating to her marriage to John Earl
Mary A BOND did not marry John Earl until 1896 so is unlikely to be the mother.
Lucy TYSON was born in 1857 so could be the mother, but in the 1940 US Federal Census she was declared as Stepmother of Anna/Annie so was not her mother.
Until better information is found I have attached some of the children to Catherine JOHNSON, having guessed her true birth year as about 1860, and some to Bettie GIVENS.
From "The Crymes Family" Facebook page: "Here's another Black History Month Fact Crymes Family Edition: Did you know Crymes roots go back to Mississippi? John Crymes parents were Burl and Priscilla who were owned by the Stuart family in MS. As a wedding gift, the plantation owner gave John as a wedding gift to his daughter who married a Dr. Crymes of Virginia. The newlyweds relocated to Jackson, TN with our progenitor. Interesting fact: a condition of the gift was that John was NOT to work in the fields."
