Under the title of TAYLORS, CROSBYS AND BOULWARS OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY, I found DENNIS CROSBY, b Dec 11, 1724 in Craven County, Berkley, S. C. is the son of WILLIAM CROSBY b 1696 in Berkly Co., S. C. and SUSANNAH BENTON, b abt 1695 in Craven Co., s. c. Dennis married Hanna Revels about 1748 in S. C. There is a write up on William Crosby b 1696 that states a land patent was granted to William Crosby of 200 acres. Also, his father is THOMAS CROSBY b bef 1670 in Virginia, mother is unknown >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I think you may be right. The tree shows the father of Dennis to be William Crosby (1696, Berkley Co. SC). But I am still a little confused. I am certain that I saw a William m. to Ane or Ana Swala in print as the father of Dennis. More importantly, since what I am really after the country of origin for this line of SC Crosbys, where did the reported father and ancestors of William come from- one Thomas 1640, of Virginia? Where did this Thomas come from in Virginia, what county? I have a number of references to Thomas Crosby in Virginia around this time frame. I would just love to know where they originally migrated from. Crosby Turner, Atlanta
