James/Mary Crookshank/Cruickshank appear to have been living in Hebron, Washington Co, NY upon James's decease.His will was probated in 1804 and mentions all of the above that you stated.I could find nothing on Martha's husband, Moses Cox; but find mention of John Todd's family.The family had sons John & Robert; and an unnamed daughter, whom married John McCloughlin.The Todd's were Scotsmen and coopers.apparently were driven from Salem, along with other Tories after Gen Burgoyne's surrender.
As for Mary's husband, John Mains it stated that John c 1777 resided in the woods between Duncan McArthurs home and that of old Duncan Campbell, on the Dwelly farm, which I'm assuming means Argyle, Washington Co, NY.
