He married Mary Magdalene Michael, dau of John Michael and Mary Consore, on 1 Jan 1856. Eli is the son of Gideon Crofoot and Samantha Sackett. I can't prove when Eli was born. I know his gravestone says 1823 which agrees with later census records, but early records (1850 census in IL & parents divorce decree) would indicate probably born ca 1827/28. His middle name was Dudley. He served with the MO State Militia Cav as a blacksmith during the war.
