Hello folks, and welcome back to RootsWeb's newly upgraded list system. If you are receiving this post it is because you are still a subscriber to this list, even though things have been pretty quiet due to a number of issues lately. The lists are back now, and I believe you will like the improvements that have been made. The most obvious improvement is a new RootsWeb login system, which you will find at the following link: http://home.rootsweb.ancestry.com/listindexes/setupmail Only one account per person is needed, and once you have created it you will be able to organize and manage all of your list subscriptions in one handy location. Like anything new there will be something of a learning curve in the beginning, but I really think you will like it for the new security and personalization features for your list subscriptions. And last but not least, please note my email address as List Owner immediately below this message and following my name. Also note the "List information" link below that, which will take you to the information page for this list, where you will find information to help you subscribe, unsubscribe, and some other things based on the current status of your new log in account. I welcome you back to the list, and look forward to working with you in the future tracking down our elusive ancestors. David E.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: KristinaCronk Surnames: Cronk, Clark, Vannest, Cronkhite, VanVolkenburgh, Graham, Horswell, Coglon, Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.cronk/595/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for any help in determining the parents of David Cronk and Nancy Clark. My gggf was their son Henry Samuel Cronk. The family I am looking for: David Cronk: Born about 1803 in Camden or Ernestown, Ontario, Canada Died 1868-1869 in Olden, Frontenac, Ontario Canada Married Nancy Clark before 1829 Nancy Clark: Born between 1811 and 1813 in Ernestown, Ontario, Canada Died 1892 in Olden, Frontenac, Ontario, Canada Their Children: Sylvester Cronk - b. 21 Aug 1829 Tyendinaga, d. 27 May 1906 Hinchinbrooke, m. Mindwell Vannest Sylvanus Cronk - b. 23 Jan 1831 (Canada), d. 23 Aug 1896 Frontenac, m. Deborah Cronkhite Wilson Cronk - b. 14 Mar 1833 Camden, d. 20 Mar 1915 Sheffield, m. (1st) Catherine VanVolkenburgh, (2nd) Mary Jane Graham Cousins William Cronk- b. 27 Apr 1835 Camden, d. 02 Jan 1925 Olden, m. (1st) Mary Polly Vannest (2nd) Sabra Babcock York (1st wife moved to Michigan) Henry Samuel Cronk- b. Sep 1840 Ontario, d. 07 Feb 1917 Armstrong, Iowa, m. Mary Elizabeth Horswell Dorcas Cronk - b. 11 May 1846 Ontario, d. 23 Jun 1923 Armstrong, Iowa, m. Richard Horswell (father of Henry's wife) John Cronk - b. 15 Apr 1847 Camden, d. 23 Jul 1935 Menomonie, Wisconsin, m. Sarah Coglon Columbia Cronk - b. about 1849 There was another daughter born about 1842 listed in the 1861 Olden Census of Canada - usually interpreted as Karel looks like Haret to me. Another source lists a transcription of 1851 Census and states another son Matthew born same age as William. Have not found the family myself on the 1851 Census. Henry, Dorcas, John, and Columbia went to Iowa and most can be found in the 1870 Census. Columbia and Dorcas in Springvale, Iowa and John in Des Moines. John ended up in Wisconsin and a biography is included in the History of Dunn County. Dorcas and Henry are mentioned in the History of Emmet County. Columbia disappears after the 1870 census (so far anyway) I have seen David and Nancy's parents listed on Ancestry tress as Abraham Cronk/Elizabeth Barker of Prince Edward Island and Alexander Clarke/Elizabeth McCleve of Fredericksburg but do not believe either of these to be correct. There was a Nancy Clarke in Fredericksburg. She is usually given with a birth date of 1784 (in the trees) making her logically too old to have been the mother of most of the children in this family. She would have been 45 with the first child and 65 when the last child was born. Secondly there is an 1806 marriage record for a Nancy Clarke. She married a Joseph Gunsolus in Fredericksburg. David Cronk is frequently listed as David Barker Cronk of Sophiasburgh, Prince Edward Island in Ancestry trees but I have not found any evidence to support this. David Cronk and David B. Cronk can be found separately in the 1861 census. David B. Cronk is in Sophiasburgh while David Cronk is in Olden. The David Cronk family in 1861 Census of Olden is wife Nancy, children: Henry, Karel/Haret, Dorcas, John, and Columbia. Wilson, William, and Sylvanus (and Matthew) are on the same page with their families. The David B. Cronk family contains wife Sarah, children: Barker and Samantha. Given the son's name is Barker and their locale in Prince Edward, it is very likely that they are the family that belongs with the Cronk/Barker line. Any help with David and Nancy would be greatly appreciated! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: Rubyred3 Surnames: Cronk, Gould, Almy, Bradford Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.cronk/594/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Looking for the ancestry of Marietta Cronk b. ca 1821 to (Mr.) Cronk and wife whose surname was Gould, according to Landmarks of Tompkins Co., NY. She was married to Bradford L. Almy ca 1844. I am trying to trace her ancestry to figure out which grandmother was the grandmother of their son Judge Bradford Almy as mentioned in Landmarks, who was a Paddock and descendant of Gov. Wm. Bradford. I have spent a long time (years) trying to find a connection between Paddock/Bradford marriages/descendants, thinking it would lead to the Almy family who are my ancestors. But so far no luck. So today am thinking I may have been barking up the wrong ancestral tree and it might be the Gould/Cronk ancestry.

After my trip in 2007, I found out that my Cronks were from the Dutch Crankheyt (various spellings). This was confirmed by doing a DNA test with my male Cronk cousin in Ontario. You may be able to get more information about the book or the Cronks at the website for the National Archives in Kew, England (nationalarchives.gov.uk), Best, Robyn.

Please DO NOT reply to this on the list I'm the Admin of this list, and I would like to ask for your help if I may. This pertains to digest subscribers ONLY, so folks subscribed in list mode please completely disregard it. The current default format on this list for digest posts is called "MIME," which means you will receive each digest as a single post usually once a day with each individual post for that day appearing as an attachment. This is the one exception to what you may have heard about no attachments on RW lists, but these are quite safe to open. To read or reply to one of the attached posts, you simply double-click it to open it, after which you can reply to it if you choose to. Generally, replying to it will require little or no editing or trimming as was needed with previous digests here. I have recently become aware that reportedly A FEW service providers do not receive this type of digests very well, although the large majority of them do. If you are not able to double-click on an attachment and read it properly, then it is possible that your service provider may be one of the very few unable to receive and deliver them correctly. If so, please drop me a line OFF LIST AT MY ADMIN ADDRESS BELOW, and I will return your subscription to what is called "plain text" format as before. Likewise, if you are able to use these digests without difficulty but simply prefer the plain text format used before, then drop me a line OFF LIST using the same address below and ask me to return your digest to "plain text" format. If you are having no difficulty reading or using the current digests this way, then there is no need to reply or let me know. I try very hard to reply to all correspondence from subscribers, but sometimes replying to everyone is simply not always feasible. David E.
