I have a record of an Emma Creque born in 1883 and married to Andrew Batsch. Have not found a marriage date. They had five children: Francis born 1907, Catherine born 1911, Helen born 1914, Margaret born 1917, James born 1918. Hope this helps.

Re: Crequi History Charlestown/Boston MA Possible links between NY and West Indies

redmond8353 — 2011-06-17 12:10:10Z

There is no documented link between the USA Creques and the West Indian Crequis - yet! Much circumstantial evidnce but no absolute proof. The earliest Crequi/Markoe association so far found is 1715 in the British West Indies where a Philip Markoe was married to a Susanna Crequi. The parents of Francis (Frank) Crequi who married Elizabeth Markoe are as yet unknown. There is extensive information regarding these families at http://sites.google.com/site/markoeoffshore/

Need proof (presently there are just family legends) that Abraham baptized in Boston is the Abraham/Abram Creque in New windsor, Middlesex Co., NJ. This is now Windsor about ten miles east of Trenton in Mercer Co., NJ. See my dave-creque file in RootsWeb.com Feel free to throw rocks, additions and corrections. dave.richardson@mindspring.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abram Creque died without a will.
In his Estate Papers, File No. 4200, in the Middlesex Co. Surrogate's office, undated
"I Joseph Creque oldest son of Abram Creque deceased certify that I relinquish all my right and claim to the adminisistratorship of the property of said deceased to my younger brother Abraham Creque. In witness where of I have hereinto annex my name to those present. Joseph Creque Witnessed Francis Creque, Mary Creque"
Francis and Mary (before she married Asher Quigley.) are siblings of Joseph. Joseph Creque is in the 1820 Bucks Co., PA census and in the 1840 Tompkins Co., NY census. I have not found him in the 1830 census.
By 16 Oct 1829 the six page inventory of his estate had been filed and Elizabeth Creque and Abraham M Creque, administrators of Abraham Creque deceased, at New Brunswick, Middlesex Co., NJ, state that the inventory is correct. Elizabeth is in the 1850 Ulysses, Tompkins Co., NY census and her age fits.

I have not found anything about how his estate was divided except for his grandaughter below.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AN ACT to authorize a Trustee therein named, to sell a part of the Real Estate of Abram Creque, deceased.

Whereas, it is represented to this Legislature, that Abram Creque, late of the county of Middlesex, and state of New- Jersey, died seized of a farm or plantation, situate in the township of West-Windsor, in said county, containing one hundred and thirty acres, more or less, and leaving a widow and several heirs at law, some of whom, by reason of their minority, are unable to join in the execution of a deed for the premises, which can now be sold on advantageous terms, if a title could be made for the same: Ani> Whereas, application has been made on the part of Ellen Nelson, who is one of the grand children of the deceased, and under the age of twenty-one years, praying a law appointing a trustee, to sell her share in the real estate of the deceased; which appearing to be reasonable, and for the interest of the minor, as her share in the said real estate is unproductive in its present situation; Therefore,

Sec. 1. Be It Enacted by the Council and General Assembly of this State, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That Abram M. Creque, be, and he is hereby appointed, a trustee, with full power and authority to sell, for the best price he can obtain, the right, title, and interest, which the said Ellen Nelson has in the real estate of her grandfather, Abram Creque, late of the county of Middlesex, deceased; and, after the sale thereof, to make and execute a good and sufficient deed of conveyance to the purchaser.

Sec. 5J. And be it enacted, That the said trustee, after making sale in manner aforesaid, shall account to the Orphans Court of the county of Middlesex, at the term next succeeding such sale, for the proceeds of said sale; and after Trustee to »c- a fair and just allowance of all costs, charges and expenses orphans court of attending the sale, made and allowed by the said court, shall Middlesex. invest the balance of said proceeds at interest, upon good and sufficient security, to remain so at interest, till the said Ellen Nelson shall attain the age of twenty-one, then to be paid to How proceed! of her; and in case of her death, and before she attain the age "0',Vd°0^ dl"~ of twenty-one, to be paid to her heirs, in such manner, as if this act had not passed.

Sec. 3. And be it enacted, That the said trustee shall, before he enters upon the duties prescribed by this act, enter into Trustee to give bond to the Governor of this state, with one sufficient surety, bond. to be approved by the Surrogate of the county of Middlesex, conditioned for the faithful performance of said trust.

Passed January 29, 1835.

East Windsor, NJ: Not published, 1825. Original. not bound. Very Good. Few spots of foxing. Two documents, 6pp. Michael Lykes and his wife, Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Morford, deceased) appoint East Windsor attorney Elijah Davis. The lawyer is to represent them in selling certain lands in Middlesex County to which Elizabeth has claim as the only daughter and heir of Thomas Morford, who inherited the land from his grandfather, William Updike of Middlesex County, by terms of a will dated November 22, 1778. On the back of this first document, one Andrew Rowan attests that Elizabeth came before him on August 15, 1824, at which time he examined her without her husband and she agreed to give power-of-attorney to Davis. The second document, dated at Lamberton on 21 June 1825, comprises several testimonials that Elizabeth is the daughter of Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed, who "for many years lived together and cohabited as man and wife." Elizabeth Dye attests that she believes Morford and Reed were legally married. Sarah Reed (Lucy's mother) states that Lucy was married to Morford at age 19 without Sarah's consent, and that they had a daughter named Elizabeth. Inserted in this document is the testimonial of John Smith of Lambertville (NJ), who states that he officiated at the marriage of Elizabeth and Michael a few years earlier, believing that she was the daughter of Thomas Morford, who was the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Story, wife of Joseph Story of Story Farm. Also signing this document are Robert and Ann Taylor who attest to the lineage, and Abraham Creque who was in the house when Thomas Morford and Lucy Reed lived as man and wife.7.75".

Abraham Creque, admr"

Abraham/Abram Creque of West Windsor, Middlesex Co., NJ died before 1829. West Windsor is now in Mercer Co., NJ and Trenton is the county seat. The town of West Windsor, about 8 miles from Trenton, is in West Windsor Township in Mercer Co., NJ.

Crequi History Charlestown/Boston MA Possible links between Y and West Indies

redmond8353 — 2009-11-29 19:25:30Z

This post is an advisory regarding possible Crequi (Creque) history in

The genealogies and estates of Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1629-1818 by Wyman, Thomas Bellows. ISBN: 0897250311

Info is supposed to be on page 248 of volume 1. Published about 1879

The book is in several US libraries and an online copy is apparently viewable by members of the NEHGS.

I have no idea what the information contains but for those interested in linking the Trumansburg NY and West Indian this might be of value.

Hi, I've been researching the Creque family of the BVI for many years and have recently found some interesting information. The Creque family has been in the BVI at least since the early 1700's. A friend sent me a link to the early BVI census that he had on his website and its quite a find. I am trying now to connect the dots back to the original names on the census. When I do I'll be happy to share the information.

Re: Looking for a relative

HI, I recently found the Creque family website posted by David Allen Creque and was indeed just looking for him. I'd sent him an email and it came back. Thank you for letting us know that he passed away. I'm sorry to hear the news. I wanted to tell him how fascinated I was with his history back to the 1600's. I believe I am a descendent of the same Francis Crequi and was wondering how David found his birth year of 1600 for St. Croix as well as the birth/death for John and Peter in the 1600-1700's. Do you know or can you help? I have found a Francis Crequi and his family in Virgin Gorda in the early 1700's. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: CREQUE/ trumansburg NY

Not certain if you are still trying to identify Creque children, but found the following in one of my references: Jane, b. 1809, William b. 1810, Mary b. 1812. The family moved from New Jersey to Trumansburg, NY shortly after Mary was born. Sallie (I noted you have her named Sarah which may be more relable) b. 1814, Herman C. b. 1816, George W. b. 1818, John b. 1819, Catherine b. 1827, Lydia Ann b. 1829, and Jacob U. b. 1832.

I do have much more information on Herman if you are interested.

Hope this is of some help.

Trying to identify

Peter Markoe Crequi at Boston Latin School class of 1767. Peter M.Crequi took oath of allegiance to US as Lieutenant 3-7- 1778 Boston

BOSTON PUBLIC LATIN SCHOOL. *Crequie, Peter Markoe 1 * Gordon, Hugh Mackay 2 Lieut.-Gen. in British Army. *1823 *Otis, James 3 Of the Continental Navy. *1777 *Burch, Joseph *Doncker, John 4
1 Peter Crequie, like Christopher Gore, appears to have left this School to become a pupil of Master Hunt at the North Grammar School. In Master Hunt's manuscript Catalogue, to which reference will be made in the following chapter, occurs this amusing memorandum : "Boston, May 27th, 1771. "I, Peter Crequi, engage that Chris. Gore shall punctually observe the rules of this School for three weeks from this date ; and sho'd he break them or any of them within this time, I promise to receive peaceably the punishment due to such Offence with the said Christopher. " Peter Crequi."

Clarence Raymond Creque/Crique/Criqui

jdcag1975 — 2008-04-16 17:52:28Z

My father's mother is Marguerite Marvin Criqui, born in Ashbury Park, NJ, around 1925. Her father was Clarence Raymond (or Raymon) Criqui, married to Marguerite Celia Hull. Not much is known about Clarence. It wasn't found out until after his death that he was born in France. There was some paperwork found that put him in Nancy, France, in his life. He went by either "Ray" or "Raymond" in New Jersey. I don't know if his surname was changed upon arriving to the US. That is all I know of that side of the family. If anyone can help, please.

I have these children for John Cerque [1789-1866] & Catherine Updike [1790-1863] : i Jane Creque b 1809 d 35 Mar 1882 m Walter Duryea ii Sarah Creque b 13 sep 1814 d 14 Aug 1838 m Jacob Vanderbilt iii George Washington Creque b 1818 m Mahala J merritt iv John J Creque jr b 1821 d 23 Feb 1891 m Hetty Slack & Annette B v James M Creque b c 1825 d 27 Nov 1895 m Elizabeth & MInerva vi Adaline Creque b c 1826 vii Lydia Ann Creque b c 1829 d 14 Oct 1913 m Abram Q Blue & Lewis Aldrich viii Jacob U Creque b c 1829 d 10 Apr 1913 m Rachel unk
This does not preclude other children, just that these are the only ones i have been able to identify. The history states that when John & Catherine arrived in Trumansburg in 1812 they had three children already. I only know of one. So there are some missing children. Since they cant be discovered from census, either they died before 1850 or they were girls who married. There is much research left to be done on this family. Please let me know what you are working on and who. Kristine Smith

Do you have a list of John Creque/Cathrine UpDike's children? I'm wondering if one of them was John Creque, b. 1812.

Re: John Creque, born New Jersey 1812

2006-10-15 14:24:48Z

Does your family tree of the Creque's go back to the early 1800's?
I have a John Creque(b.1812), married to Beulah, living in Pa. in 1880 in my family.
In my research of the Creque family, I found a John & Beulah Creque in Trumansburg NY, in1850. Could they be the same?
It also says his father was born in NJ. I find a John Creque, b. 1786 in NJ, that later died in Trumansburg NY.
Do you know how all these people fit together?
And why is Trumansburg NY such a hotbed for the Creque family?
John
