She said that photographs of Amos B. Cole and his son Festus show that they had native American features. Some members of the next generation (will not name names here in a public forum) had coal black eyes. I would not be surprised because the name "Crofoot" is unusual. I have also seen my Dinah referred to as "Crawford."Where does your Charles fit in? Dinah was one of nine children of Ebenezer and Sarah St. John Crofoot. The family was all girls, except for the oldest, Joseph. I am in the process of trying to figure out whom all the girls married. Let me know if you can shed any more light. Kathy
