Joseph Crofoot b.1762, Berlin, Ct.
Hi all,I believe that Joseph Crofoot, son of Ephriam Crofoot and Mary Williams, b. 1762 is the father of my Russell Crofoot. His Mother was Olive (?), Joseph's third wife.I have not found a marriage date or recording of Russell's birth in Berlin, CT, but all the facts fit what I know about Russell.Joseph and Olive had a son in 1814 whom they named Russell, but he died and is buried in the Wilcox cemetery as are Joseph and his first two wives.Joseph actually died in Leyden, Lewis County, NY, but was returned to CT for buriel.It appears that he had a relatively large number of children with his three marriages, so figure that some other descendants must be out there!Joseph is listed as head of the household on the 1830 census, but had died in Oct. 1829.The 1840 census lists Olive as "widow".
