James Crewes (or Crews) (1622 – 26 January 1677) was a British merchant who traded with the Virginia colony before emigrating there. He became a planter in Henrico County and represented it for one session of the House of Burgesses, but was executed for his participation in Bacon's Rebellion.[1][2]
