JAMES M. CRUTCHER was born July 3, 1818, in Spencer County, Ky., and is a
son of Sebert and Sallie (Gilbert) Crutcher, of Spencer County but natives
of Virginia.  The former was born in 1772, and died in 1839.  The latter
was born in 1780, and died in 1840.  James is the twelfth of a family of
thirteen children, and was reared on the farm, the pursuits of which he has
always followed, with the exception of three years, when he was engaged in
milling at Taylorsville.  He owns 300 acres of land.  He has been a member
of the Baptist Church since he was sixteen years old, and has been clerk
and trustee of his church for many years.   In 1840 he was united in
marriage with Miss Martha C. Norman, daughter of Abner Norman.  She was
born in 1821 in the house where Mr. Crutcher now resides, and died in 1884,
a life-long member of the Baptist Church.  Seven children were born to
their union: Sarah F., Abner T., James W., Charles W., Mary Alice, William
R. (deceased) and Morgan N.  Mr. Crutcher resides on the old homestead with
his son, James W., in Spencer County.
