>>Does anybody see any CRONOW or something like it from 1791-1794? In the 1790 census there is a Stephen Cronan in Bucks Co. but he was listed in the militia under Philadelphia in 1780. There is a letter held at the PO in Phila in 1791 for Stephen Cronin. Could Cronow be misread for Cronan? There is a Catherine Cronan who wrote her will in 1796, she was a widow. Perhaps the city directory would help. Stephen seems to be connected to shipping as he witnessed wills for several mariners. Nothing on him after the 1790 census. Liane
You don't have access to the details, do you? This sounds like them! The HICKS were not originally from Philadelphia.

I think this couple, if they were indeed married, had a daughter Eleanor. Catherine's will was probated 1799 and mentions daughter Eleanor and Eleanor's in 1815 or so. But in the Phila will abstracts. Something I saw indicated that there was an earlier Stephen Cronan who died in the 1770s. Might have been on Genealogy Bank and a mention of an estate. Stephen was possibly Catholic as a man with that name witnessed baps at St. Mary's Church in Phila. Liane
