A BRIEF GENEALOGY OF THE CRONKHITE FAMILY

CAUTION (by Cliff Lamere): There are significant errors concerning relationships and origins in some of the early families in this genealogy. Use this information only as a guide. Since this was a work deposited at the NY State Library, it has historical value.
Notes by Margaret Cronkhite Taylor:
This genealogy was compiled by Mrs. Leora Greene Hildenbrand in 1952. A copy was presented to the New York State Library. Her premise on the earliest Cronkhite immigrants in this genealogy was that they came to America around 1741/1742 and were only possibly related to the earlier Cronkhites who descended from Herck Sybouts (arrived around 1641). I believe (along with many other Cronkhite researchers) that her premise is incorrect and that all Cronkhites were descended from the earliest immigrant, Herck Sybouts(en).
Herck Sybouts(en) arrived ca. 1641 in New York and married Weyntie Teunis Quick on Nov 16, 1642. They had 15 children. According to McKenzie "They lived in New Amsterdam until 1654 when they moved to the Arme Bouwery at Hell gate, then a part of Newtown, L. I. While he went by the name of of Sybouts and his children by the patronymic Hercx, his grandchildren adopted the surname Cranckheit, later shortened to Crank and Cronk." It is not known at this time why they took this change in name but it has been documented in the records of the NY Reformed Dutch Church, and also in publications by Riker, McKenzie, Doherty, and others. (Note: There are many variations in the spelling of all these names).
After many years of trying to get beyond these "other Cronkhite families" I finally found baptismal record in Rensselaer Co, NY which proved to me that my Cronkhite line went back to Herck Sybouts. I would strongly urge all Cronkhite researchers to continue searching for records which will prove their line to the earlier immigrant.
I definitely believe that all the talk of an "inheritance" in Holland was a complete sham and should be ignored completely, along with the story of "the three brothers who allegedly came over from Holland in 1742". Mrs. Hildenbrand also presents another immigrant who came over in 1751. She herself states that there are many discrepancies in these dates and the dates of birth as presented in the early part of this genealogy. My belief is that this genealogy was worthy of publication because of the many later families which she documented. Her chapter on the "Greene" families helped me tremendously, for example.
I tried my best to transcribe this genealogy as close to the original copy as was possible. It was very difficult to read in many places as I received a photocopy from which to work. The staff at the NY State Library in Albany, NY did their very best to make the best copy possible considering the condition of the manuscript. I will be happy to check my copy for anyone who feels that an error may have been made in the transcription.
The compiler used ( ) to show that she wasn’t sure of a name, etc. I have used [ ] where I was not sure of how to transcribe a name or other words.
I kept the original numbering system as much as possible. There was a title page, followed by typed pages numbered 1-48. Then there is a gap from pages 49 through 54. I believe that the compiler intended to put a group of handwritten pages in this space, but for some reason did not number them as such. The compiler resumes numbering with typed pages 55-80. I have placed the handwritten pages after p. 80 and have numbered them as pages [81]-[89]. The Index is completely new & I have numbered it as pages 90-120. However, the numbers have been omitted from this webpage in which they would serve no function.
I would also like to say that my family is on p. 9 of this transcription, and that I have now identified my ancestor as Jacob, son of Samuel Cronkhite & Maritie Bros (Brass).
Notes by Cliff Lamere: Some pages were not numbered in the original manuscript. They have been assigned numbers by the transcriber so that the newly-created index will be easier to use.
The size of this file is unreasonably large due to excessive codes inserted by Microsoft Word when the file was converted to html (internet language). It is much larger than in another method that I could have used, but, done this way, the variations in indentations are closer to the original Word document.
The amount of indentation for various lines below may not always be significant. The number of blank lines between lines of text has no meaning. They are an inconsistent result of converting the Word document to html.
The original manuscript is in the possession of the New York State Library, Albany, NY. It is partly typed and partly handwritten. Margaret sent her typed, indexed transcription to the library in late 2001.

A BRIEF GENEALOGY OF THE CRONKHITE FAMILY
Dedicated to the memory of my great-grandmother,
Hannah Cronkhite Greene, wife of
William Greene, Jr.of Indian Castle, Herkimer Co,N.Y.
“ Leaf after leaf drops off, flower
after flower,
Some in the chill, some
in the warmer hours;
Alive they flourish, and alive
they fall,
And earth who nourished
them
Receives them all.
Should we, her wiser
sons, be
Less content
To sink into her lap when
life
Is spent?”
Walter Savage Landor.
“Aye thus it is, one
generation comes,
Another goes and mingles with the dust,
And thus we come
and go, filling up
Some little space-
and thus we disappear
In quiet
succession, and it shall be so
Till time in one vast perpetuity
be swallowed up.”

America in 1742.
5.
BROTHERS- Jacob, James and Casper Cronkhite. Emmigrants.
The “Dresser Genealogy” by Mrs. Jasper Marion Dresser, states that
James, Jacob and Casper Cronkhite came from Holland to America in 1741,
located in Danbury, Conn., stayed there a few years later moved to Dutchess
County, New York.
A record taken many years ago states “James, Jacob and Casper
Cronkhite came from Holland to America in 1741, landing in Connecticut and
after engaging in business in Danbury, moved to Dutchess County, N.Y.”
The following excerpt taken from a letter written by Peter S. Bean,
Genealogist in 1902 “JOHN CRONKHITE’S OLD DUTCH BIBLE says “Casper,
James and Jacob came to America in 1742”. Copy taken by his son, Jacob
Cronkhite 3rd, who was born 1768.
The youngest child of Jacob (1) Cronkhite was Leah Cronkhite (2) born
at Danbury, Conn. 1751.
There are conflicting statements as to the birth dates of these three
brothers, one state James Cronkhite was born in 1685. That date can not be
correct if he served in Revolutionary War as has been stated by some people,
as it would have made him 91 years old in 1776.
Another date given for birth of James Cronkhite is 1711. That again is
impossible as his oldest son, Henry Cronkhite was born in 1720, as evidence in
his Old Dutch Bible which gave his date of birth and the dates of birth and
names of his brothers and sister. Also
some records state all of James Cronkhite’s children were born in Holland.
The date of birth of his youngest child was George, born 1740.
James Cronkhite (1) was born in Hars (Haas?) Holland [Comment by
compiler], died in Dutchess County a very old man, one record states in 1777.
“Following is a Clipping from the Washington County Post of
Cambridge, New York, that was printed about March 17, 1896.
To POST:
Seeing an article in the “POST” of last week speaking of the ashes
of James Cronkhite lying on one of Nathan Case’s farms, I would state this
is true. James was brother Casper Cronkhite, who left millions to relatives;
but he died in Holland. There was
a tombstone marking the resting place of James on which was written –James
Cronkhite, born in Holland, seventeen hundred and some odd years, I have
forgotten, and when he died.
Every twenty-four years strangers visited his grave and after a time
the stone disappeared. This was many years ago. The stone was of slate,
similar to those used in school those days.
Many heirs live in this vicinity now. The Case’s, Center’s, Mosley’s,
Guile’s and many others, I am now unable to call to mind. Many live in
Washington County. The heirs would do well to give one million to our
goverment [sic] to collect the eighty million from Holland. There were meeting held in Utica but with little success.
C.H. Young.”
There
is also a peculiar thing happened here a good many years ago probably in the
middle of the last century. It is
claimed that three strangers came to Hoosick Falls, New York by train and
hired a livery rig and were gone a few hours, and they returned to the depot,
they had something quite heavy rolled up in a burlap and when the train came,
they took the bundle and departed by train back by way of Troy, N.Y.
The depot agent stated they were nicely dressed, but different from our
style of dress. While waiting for the train, he heard them visiting and they
appeared to be foreigners. However,
the party that came here every twenty- four years has never been seen since.
Some think that they had James Cronkhite’s tombstone to prove that
James was dead and perhaps prove their claim to get Casper’s money he left.
However, the tombstone with James Cronkhite’s name on it is no where
around here now”
Casper 2Kasper) Kronkhite (Cronkhite) was one of the Three Brothers who
came to America in 1743, from Holland, landed in Connecticut engaged in
business in Danbury, Conn., then moved into Dutchess County, New York. The following taken from a letter written many, many years ago.
“Casper was a noted Tory, returned to Holland during Revolutionary
War, where he died. He was a bachelor. When he returned to Holland he was angry
with his two brothers because they fought against the British.
Casper’s life was very often in great danger until he reached the
other side of the water. I
remember a story of his being hidden in a stock of fodder while the soldiers
were searching for him in the place where he resided, after which he left the
country.”
The Compiler remembers as a little girl hearing about the fortune this
Casper was supposed to have amassed, and the terms of his Will. It was told that he left this country and returned to Holland, where he
made a great deal of money. His
Will was supposed to have stipulated that the money was to be left untouched
for one hundred years, and then divided among the heirs of his two brothers,
James and Jacob Cronkhite.
I also remember seeing a small book about six by eight inches in which
were the names of these heirs. I
looked over the shoulders of my parents as they were reading same, but I was
too young to appreciate the
significance of this, and to this day I have never found any trace or account
of such a book, yet I remember distinctly seeing it and hearing my parents
discuss its contents. My
grandfather and my father William Green would have been among the heirs.
Many are the stories told as to the outcome of this fortune but the
Compiler knows nothing definite about the same, altho there was quite a furor around about 1896-1903.
The following notice was found among the papers of the
Compiler’s Grandfather, William Greene, Jr.
Copy.
“The time seems to be propitious for some action to be taken by the
Cronkhite Family in the State of New York towards a final settlement of the
matter of the traditional fortune assumed to be held in trust by the Holland
Government, necessarily the first step should be towards organization of all
legally interested persons.
Therefore there will be a meeting held at the Wagner Opera House,
Canajoharie, N.Y. on the 8th day of May, 1902 at 1 o’clock p.m.
Come and bring others and your records and you will hear something of
your ancestors that may surprise you.
By the wishes of
Other State Organizations
May 1st, 1902.”

The birth of George Cronkhite is correct according to the records from
various descendants.
The above mentioned “Consul” is a man once employed by some
descendants to help collect the estate.
Mr. Bean or Beam was a genealogist employed by some of the descendants
to help collect data.
Mrs. Wood was one of the heirs, and also assists in gathering data.
One note states that John, b. 1722, Stephen, b. 1724 and Hosea, b. 1733
all died young.

Henry Cronkhite (2) James Cronkhite (1).
Henry Cronkhite (2) came over to America from Holland with his father,
James Cronkhite. It is thought
they lived for a time at Danbury, Conn., then settled in Dutchess County, NY,
where Henry lived, at least for a time, then to Hoosick, Montgomery County,
NY,
[Hoosick is in Rensselaer Co., NY - note by Cliff Lamere]
later moved to Canajoharie Town (see 1790 NY Census), lived at one time at
Danube, NY. Probably lived at Hoosick during the time of Revolutionary War.
Henry Cronkhite,Sr., (2) served in Revolutionary War. Leora Mae Greene Hildenbrand, Johnstown, NY (the compiler of this
genealogy) prepared a paper and had it accepted on his services at the
National Society Daughters of American Revolution. She was the first person in
the United States to have his service accepted.
Henry Cronkhite,Sr. (2) was born 1720 in Holland, died 1810/1811 at
Minden, NY. He married Mary

Library of Congress at Washington, DC has gratefully accepted the offer of a
photograph of Hiram Cronk, last surviving veteran of the War of 1812, whose
death occurred at Ava in 1906 at the age of 103 years. Many in this vicinity
recall Mr. Cronk. His funeral was held with full military honors at
Washington, DC.”

Angelin Sanford Zufelt. She was married to Llewellyn Cronk July 3.1881. He

Excerpts
from Newspaper.
“Ancient
Cronk Home Once Served as Rural Tavern.” Fine Old Stone Mansion on Military
Road near Pamelia Four Corners was an Exclusive Hotel years ago-Structure
believed to have been built by Samuel Cronk in 1829. By Ernest G. Cook
The Times presents herewith one of a series by Ernest G. Cook of
Theresa on the old Military road running from Brownville through the town of
Pamelia. Mr. Cook also describes some of the fine old stones houses built
along the road by early settlers.
It is surprising how some very interesting stories seem to come
unexpectedly from some of these old houses on the Military Road. Take for
instance the rather stately stone house just a little north o9f Pamelia Four
Corners on the Military Road. The writer had word from Mrs. Anna Hoover
Dempster of Evans Mills who said “Be sure and write about the Cronk house.
Her grandfather, Mr. Moses Hoover, kept the tavern there during Civil War
days. Mrs. Dempster said, “I don’t know about the builder, only that it
was Samuel Cronk. Up on the peak of the gable is the cap stone with “A.C-182?,
carved in its face. I know my grandfather did not operate it as a tavern, he
conducted it as a farm. I have been told that the first tavern was built of
logs abt.1812 etc.”
Excerpts from a letter written by Mrs. Louis S. Lansing, Watertown, NY.
to Leora Mae Greene Hildenbrand, the Compiler of this Genealogy, Mar. 1,1951.
“ You will note the clipping about the Cronk Tavern, and the names of
the people who bought land in the town of LeRay. The SAMUEL CRONKHITE, who
bought land in the town of LeRay and also sold some in 1824, in the town of
Pamelia, was most probably the Samuel Cronk who had the tavern. The town of
LeRay (present town) had once been part of the larger town of Brownville and
Pamelia was also, being now between LeRay and Brownville, and it is difficult
to tell just where land was located. LeRay
was sliced off n 1806, but Pamelia remained part of Brownville until 1819. The
land SAMUEL CRONKHITE bought in 1815, part of lot 512 was in the vicinity of
Pamelia Four Corners but I cannot locate it exactly on the old may I have, but
I feel sure that Cronk and Cronkhite were the same man.
