From my draft genealogy: The surname Crofutt is a variant of Crawford: one who came from Crawford (Crow’s Pass) in Lancashire, a dweller near a river crossing where crows were seen. The Crofutt family tree is one of the four main trunks of my pedigree, ending with my Mother Florence Elizabeth Crofutt who died in 1988. That line has been traced through nine generations to Joseph Crowfoot who was born in England about 1630/35 possibly in or near Lowestoft, or Beccles, Suffolk. As a very young man he found passage to America working as a servant, settling in Springfield MA where he became a Freeman in 1672. FAMILY LINE - Joseph's male descendants in our line migrated: James Crowfoot 1666-1724 from Springfield to Norwalk then Danbury CT, Jonah 1696-1763 (also called Josiah 1st) from Norwalk to Danbury, Josiah 2nd 1730-1783 the first to be recorded as "Crofutt" spending his life in Danbury, Josiah 3rd 1769-1876 migrating from Danbury to New Milford. Susquehanna County PA, Frederick G. 1806-1863 moving on from New Milford to Bradford County PA possibly Burlington, George Clinton 1844-1922 from Granville Bradford County to McNett Township in Lycoming County, and Charles Henry 1881-1969 from West Franklin Bradford County to Elmira NY to Avon Park FL.
