carolynkstone — 2009-10-07 17:09:00Z

Jefferson D[avis] Croff MO Source: Certificate of Death #29549
Father: Thomas Croff and Mother: Easter Todd

Source: History of Chariton and Howard Counties. Author Pearl Sims Gehrig published Topeka, KS, Historical Publishing Co., 1923.
Jefferson D. Croff was the "son of Henry Thomas and Esther (Todd) Croff."
J.D. Croff married Miss Elizabeth H. Woods in 1891. Elizabeth was the daughter of Adam and Nancy Roseberry Woods. There are errors in Gehrig's information on page 647 but the Croffs were parents of Adam, Georgianna (AKA Anna/Annie/Georgie), and a child who died in infancy.

Elizabeth Woods Croff died in 1897 and Croff married Anna Belle "Annie" Kunzler in 1904. They were the parents of
five children.

Hi,
I don't know if we're looking for the same Croff or not, but my gr gr grandfather was Henry T. Croff (Cropp on grave stone)was married to Easter Todd in 1862 in Chariton county. I have had trouble finding any info on these Croff's and it could be that Mary was related to Henry. They were from both Howard and Chariton counties.

docroft — 2006-08-24 16:32:33Z

Have you seen the book "The Craft Family" and the section titled "John Croff of Ware, Mass., and his Descendants", beginning on page 751? That has a quite a bit of information.

James Croff b. abt 1792 Ware, Hampshire, Mass.

docroft — 2006-08-24 16:32:33Z

In the publication, The Craft Family 1630-1890, there is a notation about "James Croff, b. about 1792 (son of Ezra Croff and Eunice Woolcut). He married and settled at St. Davids, Canada. He had many children, the eldest being named Dwight Croff."
Does anyone out there have any information about him or his descendents?

Blackfeet Genealogy

EugeneMarkFelsman — 2004-10-26 21:01:54Z

I have been indexing Blackfeet names and have a lot of information on the descendants of William Cowee and Julia Ann Boughey CROFF family. I usually try to track down the family Indian name, English name, their Tribal Identification number and breakdown of their Blood Quantum.You can find me in the Polson,Montana telephone book. I am connected to PABLO and OTTER WOMAN, whose son,Michel Pablo married one of my relatives on the Flathead, and therefore I have quite a bit of information on the descendants of PABLO and OTTER WOMAN. My Blackfeet ancestry comes through LONE SPEECH and SARVIS BERRY WOMAN, whose daughter, Therese Killed-In-The-Lodge, married Louie Matt,Sr. Louie might be connected to the Fort Belknap through Cyprian Matte, and I'm working on another Matte branch, Joseph Matte, of the State of Oregon. I have some 28,000 relatives on my computer, mostly of the Flathead Nation, and I have eight rolls of microfilm on my people that can be borrowed through the Family History Library of Salt Lake City. I have reconstructed many Blackfeet names from the 1885-1940 Blackfeet Censuses, which also can be borrowed from Salt Lake Family History Library and from two books: BLACKFEET HERITAGE,1907-1908 and 1998 BLACKFEET GENEALOGY, GIFTS, AND TREASURES. Hope to hear from you. I have been Native American Genealogy for 24 years and as a Traditional Dancer, I list myself as Pend d'Oreille/Blackfeet.
