Children are: Josiah, 10, Joel T 8, Dayton T 5, and Thomas JB 2. Daniel died in 1851 and Matilda later married John Rudy. John Rudy and Matilda are found in 1860 in Bradford County PA with children Joel Crofut, Ira (Thomas) Crofut, Lucinda Crofut (b. after Daniel's death), Elizabeth Rudy and John Rudy. Where did Josiah and Dayton T. go? I am not able to find Josiah again until 1870 in which he is in the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital. I am not able to find him in any census after that. I have not been able to find Dayton T. in any census after 1850. However, I have been able to find that he was in Company A, 151st Pennsylvania Infantry as a Private. Other than that this man is a mystery. Any help finding these ancestors is appreciated.

I've posted this several times on the web with no results. I'm trying to further information on AMANDA MELVINA CROFOOT, born about 7 Apr 1842, died about 21 Dec 1916, buried Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut. She was married to CHARLES E SQUIRES, born 19 Jan 1834. It seem very odd that you have an AMANDA M CROFOOT and your grandmother with a middle name of ALVANIA. My AMANDA has got to be related in some way. Do you have any information that might help me in this regard. Would appreciate a reply. Thanks. Sid Eckstein

Pat, My ancestor, Samuel Crofut, Jr born Dec 4, 1770, was married on Feb 17, 1791 in Danbury, CT to Susannah Somers (a/k/a Summers), born in 1774. They had 13 children. The seventh was Russell Crofut, born May 18, 1800. Perhaps your Russell was a child of this Russell or of one of his 5 other brothers. His last brother, Samuel, the 3rd, (often called Jr.) who was my ancestor, did not have any children named Russell.. The LDS website has a Russell D. Crofut, born Sept 15, 1800, in CT, died Jan 30, 1904, but no parents are listed. The 1880 census has a Russel , born aabout 1817 in Ct, listed in Illinois. Is this yours? I will let you know if I come across another Russell. Margaret Monnie

Thanks Margaret, Yes, that is probably my Russell in Illinois as the whole family moved to Sandwich, IL from Turin New York and that's where his son Dwight met his wife, Minnie Chapman (my g-grandparents). Amazing how the census takers can get the wrong dates, but it was close. Now if I can find out about your Russell's sibling's children, I might find my Russell's parents. I'll have to check with the Barbour Collection to see if I can find all of Samuel and Susanna's children listed. The LDS reference is my Russell, only he was born in 1815, not 1800. One of these days, he will turn up in someone's records! Best wishes, Pat

I will have limited access to email, Friday-Tuesday, 6/6-6/10. If you need immediate assistance, please contact Jarrett Helms at 678-221-2329 or jarrett@global-concepts.com. Thanks, John Crofoot

Vernon Crofoot .... Vernon Crofoot (perhaps with a middle name or nickname of something like Parnum or Painum) is one of my ancestors!! My Vernon Crofoot was born in the very early 1800's ... 1804-1806 it is believed. He died from suicide in Mishawaka, St.Joseph, Indiana (near the age of 55 years old) on or near March 16, 1859. I have a copy of the newspaper obituary that explains about his death. Vernon Crofoot was married on Sept. 30, 1827 in Painesville, Geauga, Ohio to Diantha Fuller. Together they had SEVEN children .... 1. Gould C. Crofoot b. 1828, OH; married Elizabeth Norwood 2. Henry Crofoot b.7/8/1830, OH; married Nancy Pruner 3. George Crofoot b. 1832, OH; married Rebecca Williams 4. Selina J. Crofoot b.10/27/1834, OH; married Isaac Woodward Crofoot (a cousin, I believe) 5. Waity Ann Crofoot b.1838, IN; married Simon Myers 6. Adeline Matilda Crofoot b.10/1/1843, IN; married Francis "Frank" Stone 7. Anson Crofoot b.1847; married Henrietta Williams (or Willis) If you have any information on Vernon OR any of the other names listed above, please contact me!!! freeland@ptsi.net Thanks, Darci

Darci, Do you know where Vernon was born? I grab at any previously unknown name to try to find the family or siblings of my ancestor Russell D. Crofoot who was born "outside of Middletown, CT" in 1815. Keeping my fingers crossed, Pat
