Croup

carlen138 — 2012-02-08 01:28:52Z

I am searching for information about the Croup / Grub family. My Gr. Grandmother was Mary Croup, born 1826 and died 1901, in Pennsylvania. She married Abraham Oisten. Mary's father was Philip Croup, 1786 - 1868. I believe she had a sister Elizabeth and a brother Philip Croup. I have just started researching this branch of my family tree so any help/information will be appreciated. I do have some information to share.

My mother is Barbara Louis Blank Everett. Her mother was Marjorie Croup Blank, daughter of Lyman A Croup and Janet Robinson Croup. Her brother was Wallace Richard Croup. They were the only two children. Wallace Richard (Dick) had two children - Richard Allen Croup and Marjorie Gail Croup. Richard Allen has two daughters.

YES! Betty was my mother. She passed away January 10, 2006. Uncle Don is still living, but Jean passed several years ago.

Grandpa (Tom) had his dental office on the North Side of Pgh. and lived in Bellevue. We had dinner there most every Sunday and every holiday when I was growing up.

I vaguely remember meeting Aunt Helen, Uncle Frank and Uncle Edward as a young child. It's possible I even met YOU if you were visiting on a SUnday afternoon or a holiday. I was a very shy child and would have kept to myself.

I have a typed history of the Brinker line (probably 50 pages or so), beginning in revolutionary war times, that was given to my mother some years ago. The Brinkers originally arrived here from Switzerland.

Please email me at gidgetpb at gmail dot com so we can exchange further information.

You must be (great) Aunt Elsie and Uncle Tom's grandchild.
I remember going to their house once or twice when I was a kid. My Dad, Edward Clobus, Jr. would talk about his cousin Betty. I'm just now looking at a family tree that (Great) Aunt Helene made right after I was born in 1957 and I didn't realize that Aunt Elsie and Uncle Tom had 2 more kids besides Betty, Donald and Jean. If I remember correctly, Uncle Tom was a dentist.

I would be very happy to share the Clobus family information with you. And I would be interested in the Brinker family too. Would it be easier to send you an email with Clobus family history, rather than writing it on this board?

gidgetpb — 2009-11-17 20:07:53Z

Edward Clobus, 30 May 1898 - Nov 1976, was my grandmother's brother. They arrived at Ellis Island with their parents, Henry C. and Christina Clobus, along with 2 additional siblings (Fank and Helen) on 27 Sep 1904 aboard the Neckar. They settled in Pittsburgh, PA. I would be intersed in additonal information on Edward Clobus and his family.

dianedean916 — 2008-10-26 22:50:04Z

My Father was Edward Clobus, Jr. His mother was Eva Croup.
Eva's father was Martin L Croup. Martin's parents were Lyman Croup and Emaline Schlagel.
I know that Edward Clobus, Eva Croup and I believe Martin Croup were all from Pittsburgh.

I'd be happy to share any information I have for my end of the Croup name.

My wife's great great grandparents, Robert Reed Fordyce, Sr. and Julia Ann Croup (or Crupe) Fordyce were married around 1854. Julia Ann Croup, born in Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1832 (or 1837) was the daughter of Lawrence Croup, a laborer, born in Germany in 1815, and Hannah Croup (maiden name unknown), born in Kentucky in 1820. In the 1860 census, Robert and Julia Fordyce were living in West Alexander, Washington County, PA. The 1870 and 1880 censuses show them as living in the vicinity of Wheeling, WV.

Does this information tie in with the Croup family you are researching?

I have a Sherwood connection to the surname "Croup". I am certain that Martha J Sherwood (b. Nov 27, 1858, Indepence Twp, Oakland County, MI), daughter of Erasmus E Sherwood and Nancy Scott, married Philip Croup. I don't have a date for the marriage. I do have an 1906 atlas of Oakland County showing Philip Croup as owning land in both Independence and Brandon Twps. His land is surround by land owned by Martha's first cousins: Samuel, Seelye, William, and Marion Sherwood.

I have some additional data for the descendants of Erasmus and Nancy, but the branch with Martha in it has been a dead end for me.

Does the name Philip Croup fit with any of your Croups.

Yes, Gladys was the only daughter of Samuel Sherwood and Belle Walter or Belle Walters. Gladys was involved in a childhood accident that cost her the use of the lower half of her body. She never married and lived with her parents until their deaths. She taught piano lessons to make a living. In her old age and after her mother's death, my grandfather served as a kind of guardian for her. His name was Clinton Lant Sherwood: he was the son of Alanson Sherwood and Della Mae Auten.
Shortly after the birth of my younger brother in about 1955 Gladys opened her home to my parents for a period of some months. They were between residences at the time. I have vague memories of how low all the counters were in her home and of her badly disfigured body.
Gladys' father Samuel and Clinton's father Alanson were brothers both son's of William Jones Sherwood and Mary Elizabeth Gibbs. Samuel and Alanson were first cousins to Martha J Sherwood, wife of Philip Croup. Martha's father Erasmus was brother to William Jones Sherwood.
Please contact me at gsherwoodjr@houston.rr.com so we can compare notes. I have nothing more on the descendents of Philip and Martha and very little on the descendents of Erasmus, Martha's father.

I have info. on the John Crupe/Croup family tree, traced back to 1793. Some of the surnames included are Crupe, Gunn, Toland, Lowry, Dinch, Crow, Miller, Amos, and Kerns. I would be glad to share any of the info. I have.
It starts with John L. Croup b. 1793 d. 1870-1880 m. Julia Ann (last name unknown) b. 1791 d. 1860-1870.
They had 7 children:
Jacob b. 10/22/1816 d. 10/7/1875 m. Evedna (last name unknown) b. 1824 d. 12/2/1897.
Samuel b. 1818 d. 1884 never married
David b. 1820 d. unknown. m. Mary Ann Lowry b.d. unknown
John b. 2/11/1823 d. 1/29/1901 m. Martha Ann Dinch b. 4/18/1834 d. 2/4/1906
Issac b. 2/18/1828 d. 10/31/1898 m. Louisa J. Dinch b. 8/13/1834 d. 7/24/1912
Cornelius b. 1826 d. 1901 never married.

I'm not positive that the above birth dates for Martha Ann and Louisa J. Dinch are accurate. They may be the dates that they arrived to the U.S. as they immigrated here from Hesse Cassel Germany.

I also have limited info. of John and Julia Ann's childrens' children and so forth.

Yes, Philip Croup is an ancestor. I am interested in the Croup/Sherwood connection. Does the name, Gladys Sherwood mean anything to you? She lived in Ortonville, MI, I believe, and was a friend of my grandmother, Eva Croup Taylor... although she may have been a relative.

Thank you for any information you can provide.

I am interested in any information concerning the Croup ancestry. The Croups were from the Palatinate region of Western Germany, traveled to Pennsylvania, then to Erie Co., NY, and many on to Oakland CO., Michigan.
