I am looking in Centre Twp. Butler Co. for any information on Mr. Cratin, born abt 1813, Mary his wife born abt 1826 and two children. James age 4 and Mary age 4 months. This is from the 1850 Census. In this same census I see Gallaghers and Hockenberry's. My Grandmother was Amelia Cratin Hockenberry born Jun 4, 1877 before she married Silas Howard Young. Her Mother was Jane Amelia (or Jane Ann) McCullough born Oct 28, 1857. and Jane's Mother was Amelia Cratin Gallagher. born Oct 27, 1835 in Prospect, Pa. My middle name is Crayton (should have been cratin) and I was told the name Cratin came through the line to me. I cannot put the "Cratin Sur name" together that married a Gallagher. I guess it could have been Amelia Cratin's mother's maiden name. This Census is the first I have seen the Cratin's in Butler Co. I know there were both Gallagher's and Cratin's in Ireland in Rapho. Can anyone give me some light on who had the original Cratin as their last name. Amelia Cratin Gallagher's parents were James Gallagher born 1781 in Ireland, and Mary Albright.born 1807. I believe her Father to be Solomon Albrecht. Anyway, I am lost on this and really want to know who my middle name orginated from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
