We are seeking information on the Cornwall, Orange County, NY, Cronk/Kronkhytes; specifically the ancestry of John Cronk/Kronkhyte, who lived in the Clove between Storm King Mountain and Cro’Nest in the early-to-mid 1800’s. Although we are sure that he is descended from Herck Syboutsen and Wyntie Theuis/Quick, we have not yet been able to trace the exact line. (There was a different John Kronkhyte, b. 1750, who lived at West Grove in Orange Co., during much of this same period; he was married to Abigail Parr.)   Recently discovered Cronk family Bible pages list the following: (Phrases in italics are not found in the Bible pages, but are explanatory or study notes. The spelling of the surname also changes.)   John Kronkhyte born May 7 1783 Harriet, his wife June 18 1785 (Harriet Rogers) William born July 18 1804 Betsy born March 1 1806 Joshua born January 20 1808 (married Mary Ireland, a sister of Lydia Ireland) Martha born July 14 1810 (married Abram Ireland, a brother of Lydia Ireland) Sally born May 1 1812 John R. born Sept 14 1814 Henry born March 6 1817 Catherine born July 29 1820 Saunders born March 25 1822 Milton born Dec 28 1925 Harriet born January 27 1829   Lydia Ireland the second wife of John Kronk was born October 28 1808 Lydia Jane Kronk born April the 12th 1831 (died July 10, 1834) Hannah was born November 17 1834 (d. May 30, 1855) Nickless (sic) was born 1841 (not clear; year looks like “41” is a later correction from “183__,” perhaps 1837.) John and Lydia had two younger daughters not shown, as the bottom of page is torn: Emily was born about 1841 Mary was born about 1846   PAGE 2 John Kronkhyte and Harriet Rogers were joined in Matrimony August 17 1803 John Kronk and Lydia Ireland were joined in Matrimony December the first 1829   Several members of this family are buried in the old cemetery near the river in what is now Storm King State Park. Son Joshua recalled many years later that family members crossed the river from Putnam County, presumably Cold Spring, for his mother Harriet’s funeral in 1829.   We would especially like to find information on John’s parents/ancestors, and when they came to Orange and the Clove. There was a William Cronk living nearby, who we believe may have been his father. Also a Joshua Kronkite, who died about 1815 and is buried in the local cemetery. We presume a close relationship because of the names of John and Harriet's two eldest sons. We are also searching for the family of John’s first wife, Harriet Rogers, who may have come from Putnam County. And, of course, we would be more than happy to share our research.
