They moved west, first to Ohio (a community called Bennington in either Morrow or Delaware County, depending in which record you examine) and then to Iowa (first Tama County, though eventually moving to Hardin County). While they were in Ohio in 1836, my great-great-grandfather Samuel B. Cronk was born. He married a woman from Ohio named Susan (I don't know her maiden name) and their first child John F. Cronk, born in 1876, was my great-grandfather, who was married to Lidia Charlotte Huffman. Their son Leslie M. moved to Tucson, Arizona, which is where my father and I were both born. It appears that James had another son, also named James, who also moved to Iowa. James Sr.'s older brother Samuel also seems to have moved west with the rest of them. My ability to trace this back has stopped with James Senior, who was born somewhere in Westchester County, NY, in about 1805 or 1806. Have you had any success in tracing it back before him?
