Maybe that was what was written on his military paperwork. None of the census add up: Census Age Birthplace Birthyear 1870 53 OH 1817 1860 44 OH 1816 1850 28 TN 1812 Here is my question... Is it possible that American Cronk changed his name to "American" Cronk after the Mexican American war. So far I have been unable to find anything about American Cronk until his discharge of the service. Maybe he went in as another name. Just a thought.....
