Looking for descendants of or researchers who have information of the Cronk clan who were born/raised in Hastings County. Started with Jacob Cronkright (b. 1796 in Fredericksburg Twp, L&A County), son of Abraham Cronk and Mary Kail. Married Elizabeth McGrath in 1819, received land in Tyendinaga for fighting in War of 1812. Had children: Nelson Reginald (b. June 19, 1836, Tyendinaga), James(b. 1837?), William (b. 1823?), Nicholas (b. 1830?), John (b. 1824?), Morgan (b. 1839?), Mary D. (b. 1837?), Catherine (b. 1841?), Charlene (b. 1835?). Nelson and wife Ellen Louisa had two children: Robert Wilson (b. 29 Feb 1868 (b. Hungerford Twp, East Hastings) and Ernest (b.12 Oct 1873 Hungerford Twp). William and wife Mary had a son Jacob (b. 1860). James and Isabella had children James, Nancy, Adella, and Margaret during the 1860s. Nicholas and Elizabeth (b. 1835) had many children: Hector, Robert, Allen, Victoria, Clara, Abraham, Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah, Almira (all born from mid-1850s to mid-1870s). John and Ann had Margret, George, Jacob, William, Wellington, Eliza from the late 1850s to the late 1860s (supposedly John and some other family members died of a suspicious fire in the early 1880s). All these families were in Hastings/Hungerford Twp for a couple Censuses during the mid-1800s. Most of these families disappeared from Hastings and pretty well Eastern Ontario after the 1881 Census (some after the 1871 Census) so I'm trying to figure out where they all went!! Please email me with any info!!
