Here is some good info. from Bruce S. Allardice's 2008 "Confederate Colonels: A Biographical Register," pub. by Univ. of Missouri Press on pages 112-3:

"Crabtree, John Wesley. Born Jan. 20, 1827, TN. Reared in Weakley Co., TN. Family moved to Prairie Co. AR, c. 1845. Prewar farmer in Franklin Co., Ar. Md. Sarah M. Stramlet; Clementine Barber. Lt.

Paroled at Jacksonport, June 1865, as colonel. Postwar farmer in White Co. Died Feb. 14, 1876, Little Rock. Buried Bethesda Cemetery, White Co."

I requested this for Christmas, and temporarily forgot I had it.
