I find them on the 1851 Northumberland census both age 60 & with them are Matthias b 1841, Jeffrey James, b 1844, and Byron b 1846. They are listed as Cronk but seem to be Dingmans as it appears their mother Diantha died. Also, on this census with them is Hannah Oliver b 1808 single(Probably to help with children). I found the other 2 siblings, Elsie and Emily living with an older Dingman couple. On 1861 census the boys are still with Samuel & Catharine and in addition Sarah Docherty Widow, age 24 with Sophronia 7, Wm H. 2 yrs and Abraham Cronk widowed b. 1790. All born USA. On 1871 census Jeffrey James and spouse are with them and JJ is using Dingman as surname. Is this Samuel possibly the Son of Abraham/Kail? There is another Samuel close in age that some say is son of John and Martha Chatterton. Is Catharine a Dingman? Is Sarah Docherty a daughter of Samuel and Catharine? Any help would be appreciated.
