John Croy, born 1796 Ireland or North Carolina
Trying to find parents of my ancestor John Croy. He was b. 1796 in Ireland or North Carolina (depending on the census you find him in). The 1790 Census on ancestry.com shows only 2 Croys in the United States:
(1)John Croy in Frederick Co., Maryland, a male age 16 or older, living with a male under 16 and 2 free white females
(2) Micael Croy in Bedford Pennsylvania, a male age 16 or older, living with 4 males under 16 and 7 free white females.
Our John Croy married Jane who was born 1800 N.C. John was a miller, according to the 1870 GA census. He lived in Montgomery County Virginia in 1820, in Habersham County Georgia in 1830, in Lumpkin County in 1840 (a parent county of Dawson), Barrett’s District in 1850, in Dawsonville in 1860, and in Savannah District in 1870. In 1870 his wife was listed in the household of Joe Strickland and listed as “no kinâ€. In 1870 she was ill with hepatitis.
