I have been in touch with another poster who shares my line (Dinah Crofoot who married Amos Cole in 1783) and he claims to have seen a very early photograph of direct descendants of these folks, and the Native American influence was very strong in their appearance. I have identified Dinah's father as Ebenezer Crofoot of New York, and his father as Joseph Crofoot who married Lydia Canfield. Dinah's mother was Sarah St. John. None of these other names seem anything but English. It is possible that the original Native American was a male with the Crofoot name that passed on down the generations. Give me a time and place, and I will see if I can find a connection.
