    3. NOTE: I am forwarding a copy of this letter to the the Cronk mailing list. Donald, if you are not subscribed, I recommend that you do so. I am just stunned over this information! Hopefully it will turn out to be false. After an 8-day workshift at the motel where I gain my income to support my addiction (to genealogy), I'm starting to go back through my snailmail. Somewhere is a letter on my desk from a cousin in Maine. Nellie sent me an old photo of Hezekiah's grave!!!! I will have it scanned and send to you soon. A story that goes with this is: When Hezekiah Cronkhite died, he had a nice church funeral as he was a Christian man. But, on the farm he owned, there is/was a large boulder. It is said that when the moon is full Hezekiah dances on that boulder!
