John was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy.
From Crymes of London, Devon and Surrey by Philip A Crimes: "Connections established in Pembrokeshire - On one of his many visits to Milford on board the Viper, John Crymes met Mary Andrew, a daughter of Francis Andrew of Thornton, a small hamlet about two miles from Milford. Mary's father had purchased a tenement in Thornton from William Halcome for £340 in October 1780. Mary became attracted to John, who succeeded in winning her hand in marriage, and in September 1788 Francis Andrew settled the 106-acre tenement on his daughter as a marriage portion. The marriage was celebrated on 30 September at Steynton parish church. John and Mary subsequently had five children, four daughters and a son, who was christened Amos at Steynton in July 1796, in respect for his mother's wishes. John established his home in Thornton and was joined in South Wales by his younger brother James, who moved from Devon to Marloes, Pembrokeshire. The Crymes' family links with Buckland Monachorum in Devon were thereby considerably weakened."
From Crymes of London, Devon and Surrey by Philip A Crimes: "John retired from naval service in January 1814, at the age of 59 years. Following standard practice of the time he was superannuated as a commander, a higher rank than he had actually achieved in service. His pension was 8s 6d a day, but unfortunately he was only able to draw it for two years, for he died on 12 August 1816".
John appears in the Index to Death Duty Registers for 1816 as 'Crymes, John. Executor Mary Crymes of Thornton, Pembroke.'
