Crook, Wii/liam was born in Chester District, South Carolina, 

 in 1805; converted when sixteen years old, in 1821; admitted into 

 the traveling connection in 1825, and was constantly engaged in 

 preaching the gospel of Christ with zeal and success till forced by 

 ill health to retire from the field of active labor. He filled nearly 

 all the stations in the Conference, was presiding elder eight year?,
