I am searching for clues for how John A. Cribbs and his wife Euphemia Patterson Cribbs tie into the family.  If anyone knows who the father of John A. Cribbs was, please contact me via email.  John and Euphemia lived in Derry Twp., Westmoreland Co., PA during the census of 1880:

John A. Cribbs, 32, Westmoreland Co., Derry Twp.
Euphemia Cribbs, 31, wife, PA
Nora Cribbs, 12, dau, b. PA
Robert Cribbs, 10, son, b. PA
Frank Cribbs, 7, son, b. PA
Gillis Cribbs, 2, son, b. PA

...and in the census of 1900:

Euphemia Cribbs, 56, b. Jan. 1844, Westmoreland Co., Derry Twp.
Robert Cribbs, b. Nov. 1869, son, PA

On Feb. 4, 1889, Euphemia applied for John A. Cribbs' pension as his widow.  He was a veteran of the Civil War with Co. F, 2nd Batt.Pa.Inf. and Co. A, 135th Pa. Inf.

In an obituary a Gilbert Doty Cribbs was noted to be a son of John and Euphemia Cribbs.  He lived from Aug. 1, 1876 to Dec. 23, 1956 and was married to Nancy Fleming who lived from July 2, 1874 to Mar. 31, 1953.
