I am researching this same Cronk line, and I could sure use some help. See my great-great-grandfather was Hezekiah Dingman, his wife Samantha Phillips was a neice to John Cronk who married Rosetta Dingman in Northumberland County, I obtained a copy of Samantha's death certificate from the county clerk's office and her parents are listed as Christopher Phillips and Sarah Cronk. Well the John Cronk who married Rosetta Dingman, I obtained his death certificate as well, his parents are listed as John Cronk Sr. and Hannah Oliver. The problem is we have a John Cronk who married Hannah Peterson and settled in Northumberland County. And it is possible it was a mistake because Rosetta's nephew William Cahow was the informant for the death certificate. So I know the Cronk family who lived in Northumberland County were quite involved with the Dingman family and if you have any information about this family I for one sure could use some help. Also Samantha's father Christopher Phillips several of his brothers settled in Northumberland County as well, Abraham born abt 1801, and Ranselser born abt 1814 those two I am sure of but there may have been others. I believe John Cronk who married Hannah, his father to be Abraham Cronkhite and Mary Kerral. I also know that Johannes Dingman and his wife Annatje Dingman (my ancestors)where sponsors for Jan Crankheit and Martha Tetterson daughter Eliezabet on 8-1-1784 in Kinderhook, NY. I do know the Dingman family and the Cronk/Cronkhite family do go back pretty far. If you could help me untangle this mess I for one sure would appreciate it.
