Bernard M. Crouch 6 (Bernard S. 5, Thomas Harris 4, John 3, Richard 2, Richard 1), born 1870; married Sadie ______. He died 18th April, 1907 in Richmond, Henrico Co., Virginia at the age of 37 and was buried on 19th April 1907[3].  Per the death record he was a salesman.

Their children were:

1. Bernard S. Crouch 7 born 1891 (1930 Census for Richmond, Chesterfield, Virginia lists Bernard S. Crouch age 38 birthplace New York (fathers birthplace: Virginia and mothers birthplace: Connecticut), Floyd Y. Crouch female age 40 and Dorthy V. Crouch female age 13.)
2. baby Crouch 7 born 1898; died October 1, 1898 Brooklyn, Kings, New York; son of Berhard (*) and Sadie Crouch.  * - misspelling on death certificate. (New York Deaths and Burials, 1795-1952.)

The 1880 Census - Henrico County, VA. enumerated on June 5, 1880 for Bernard S. Crouch, father of Bernard Crouch shows this Bernard Crouch being 10 years old in 1880 so he was born between June 5, 1869 and June 4, 1870. The 1910 Richmond City, Henrico County, Virginia census [1] for Bernard Crouch's brother John G. Crouch lists a nephew (line 98) Bernard S. Crouch age 19 as being born in New York. Checking for 'Bernard Crouch' in 1892 New York State Census [2] records produced a record for Bernard M. Crouch age 23, born circa 1869 and a 'Bernard S. Crouch' age 1. Further research is needed to prove that Bernard M. Crouch 1869-1870 is the son of Bernard S. Crouch born November 16, 1829.
